TIG brazing for tacking cast steel to low carbon steel

A friend is building a three wheel electric car. He found some spindles and control arms from a 4WD ATV and had me turn axles to press into the spindles. The chip coming off the spindles when I was boring them out to accept the axles looked more like cast iron than steel, almost like black sand. I'd...

Everlast Power ITig 200

Does anyone have any experience with this welder? I've done some tig welding but I'm 10 years rusty. Even though this is a DC only machine it is one I can afford on retirement income and get going again. I'd love to have the 250EX but I want to get this project going this winter.
