Patented technology and Miller's vast experience in power source design come together in a truly affordable and effective TIG package. The Econotig® is a full-featured machine that brings you capabilities which were previously available only with heavy-duty industrial TIG equipment. The Econotig is an excellent choice for novice users and hobbyists, but don't underestimate this machine's power. It has the strength and stamina to handle a wide variety of light-industrial welding tasks. Yet it operates off single-phase power. The Econotig is a complete AC/DC, TIG and Stick welding package. All you need is a bottle of shielding gas and some Stick electrodes and you're ready to start welding. It's ideal for farmers, ranchers, hobbyists, moonlighters - anyone who requires the versatility to handle Stick work, plus the finesse available only from the TIG process. In the TIG mode, the Econotig offers superior performance: 18 gauge to 3/16 in (1.2 to 4.8 mm) steel and stainless steel; 14 gauge to 3/16 in (1.8 to 4.8 mm) aluminum. For thicker metals, take advantage of the Stick mode using 3/32 and 1/8 in (2.4 and 3.2 mm) electrodes. If you thought a full-featured TIG machine like this was beyond your reach, think again. Take a look at the Econotig from Miller Electric. It just might be the answer you've been looking for.
