One of the mods people do with their Harbor freight TIG welder is to add a foot pedal to control amperage. The welder does not have that capability without modding. Here's a thread on doing an electrical mod to get it: http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?29020-Adding-a-foot-pedal-to-a-98233-%28165A%29-tig and here's a thread on doing a mechanical mod using a bicycle cable attached to a foot pedal to physically turn the amp control: http://weldingweb.com/showthread.php?34235-91811-HF-Tig-Welder-FREE-100-working-foot-pedal-MOD! The welder in this last link above is the less expensive Harbr Freight Tig welder. Mine is the higher quality Harbor Freight digital display 165 amp high frequency start welder I linked to earlier. If you're concerned about the quality of this welder as I was before buying, please check the 55 stellar customer reviews in the link I gave earlier. I don't see a reason it shouldn't be possible to do qood welds with this machine. |
