[TheForge] Choosing a tig welder

[Rick Crawford]

Hello all -
    This is just my opinion, but it seems to me that when your machine is a
few years old and you need something for it, you are much better off to have
a Lincoln than a Miller.  Lincoln seems pleased to help you find the books,
parts, etc that you need, and Miller never seems to have it available.

My opinion only, take it for what it is worth,
