I recently just got hip to the fact that 120v TIG machines exist.
I've wanted to dive into bike frame building for eons. I'm mixed on whether i want to use aluminum or chromoly, but regular steel is out of the question.
A well equipped garage with a 220v outlet is still out of reach for a few years.
I also don't know shit about welding and have a lot to learn.
So i'm wondering if you could even do TIG welding out of a 120v outlet; is there a unit out there which can reliably do it?
There are a lot of mixed reviews on these 120v capable units, but i don't know welding terminology well enough to sort the wheat from the chaff.
