Im thinking of buying a Lincoln ACDC 225125 stick welder and I just wanted to know if you could use this welder for tig as well So if anyone knows anything about this please let you know?
Any DC machine can be set up to utilize the GTAW (TIG) process on most metals except aluminum. Adding a torch and gas supply (Argon) is all that is needed. You will have to scratch start the arc and guess (trial and error) how much amperage to use. I've worked production jobs this way. Tungstens tend to become contaminated more often and have to be sharpened more often. Remember, "stick" welding electrode holders use the positive + outlet and TIG welding torches connect to the - negative outlet. You have to plug the ground clamp into the + to TIG weld.
