I was/am one of those welders. I echo what Rees just said in all ways. Miller Welders seem to be reliable machines. Partnering with a local welding company has helped in huge ways.

TIG welding is a skill that takes lots of practice to get decent at. Consistent practice helps a lot. Good luck and let us know if you need anything!
