I bought second-hand MIG and TIG three years ago. I got Migatronic 3-phase 380V 100A MIG and Lincoln 3-phase 380V 180A DC TIG for 400$. They are rather overkill power-wise and weight a lot (transformer-models both).

So far, I have only used TIG "for real". Some day, maybe I will need to weld sheet metal, and MIG will come handy, but this far everything has been stainless or small details and TIG has been "the precision tool" that could melt stuff together rather well with good penetration.

That being said, I'm considering selling both MIG and TIG and getting myself a Chinese AC/DC inverter TIG. They are cheap, light, compact and as far as I heard, actually work fine. I just don't have space for 200kg welding equipment.

If I was to do it again, I would get inverter AC/DC TIG and call it a day. It does all and doesn't take the space old stuff does.
