    Default FS: Transtig 180

    Transtig 180. Purchased a few months but have since been given a newer Tig for nothing (lucky me ). Everything works, happy for you to take it for a test drive.

    Come with
    - Trolley
    - New heavy duty earth lead and clamp.
    - Comes with 3 phase plug but can easily be converted to single phase - just a simple change of wires on the inside
    - New ceramic cup
    - Comes with misc torch accessories
    - Instruction manual provided

    Going for $1800 in shops, im after $1400 but feel free to make a reasonable offer.

    Located in Wollongong, NSW 1 hour drive south of Sydney.

    PM or call 0403 279 000

    Default Attention ! Those wanting to weld aluminium stainless steel

    From time to time there are contributors asking what TIG machine to buy.

    THIS ONE - Tig AC (aluminium),Tig DC (stainless steel and steel) Stick AC-most electrodes DC LH ,stainless, cast iron electrodes. Very versatile.

    Its a fair dinkum working machine not a toy.

    If you wish to weld aluminium, steel and have stick capability on AC and DC as well as well. The current models with these features will cost you around $5000.

    They are are well made and long lived machine.

    There are heaps of them still in workshops around Australia.

    Check on parts availability and I am sure you will find no problems.

    A good way of checking them out is to pick up the yellow pages and ring a shop that repairs welders.They will tell what is good and what is bad.
    I have no connection with the seller, but thought I need to make the point about quality machines, again.

    I have no idea about current $ values on them so please don't ask!

    Thanks Grahame, I done exactly that. Rang about 20 different welding supply shops in Sydney and Wollongong and finally decided to go ahead with the purchase of this one.

    Research is your friend, espcially when you want to spend serious $$$

    Gee I wish I needed a TIG, what a bargain. I will give it a good home in case I need to use it and it will only be 30 minutes away if you need it again

    Hold on there. I am coming up from Melbourne with the $100 cash.

    No seriously, I am surprised that no one has bitten your hand off, given what some people are willing to pay for those Chinese inverters.
