Welding Tips and Tricks

Im bout to buy a tig. After research for my budget of 500 bucks. Ive come to either the eastwood 200 or the everlast 200 tig. I know miller or lincoln would be better but for now i need one to do some body work on a car. I tig at my job often and we use a miller 150 so I know how to tig. Anyone have any recent feedback on these two welders? Thanks in advance

In that price range, I'd go with the Everest. Or find a used MaxStar 110v unit. They're plenty around and that price is very appropriate for a gently used one.

Welcome to the forum! I just got Eastwoods new catalog and they have a 250 Amp multi-process welder for $999. Everything I have ever gotten from Eastwood has been top quality. I can't vouch for their welders but I do know that they are great about warranties. I was hesitant to buy from them at first because they sell chinese but they sell hi-end chinese( not sure there is such a thing ) and back up their products. I seriously thought about getting that multi machine to get into the 250 amp tig welding world. I can't speak for Everlast though.
