Cheers

for not a whole lot more than that second one you could buy a Kemppi...........

Not familiar with either of these, but be careful you can get parts , which a lot of the cheap machines seem to need.....

Unimig do a MIG , TIG, Stick combo welder. I used a 170 amp and worked great.

No you won't. An upspec Kemppi AC/DC will owe you around $5000.
Those machines will work and will probably be ok for the enthusiastic amateur. I would rather consider purpose built machines rather than multi function ones.
For someone that Tig welds all day their lack of finesse would be frustrating.
I went through the whole scenario myself when I was looking at single phase Tig machines but seeing as I do Tig weld all day I went and bought a Kemppi with all the bells and whistles.
Regards Andrew.

Ebay is your friend.........
I have seen a couple go through in the past months in great nick for around the 1.5k mark (not their highest spec models)....... in fact I near brought one of them after the good reviews they have been getting as a backup machine, but got taken out at the post.

Does anyone rate the plasma cutter?

We have one at work and it would not have been used in 3 years.

I have a Jasic, built in china bought of ebay 3 yrs ago, it cops a flogging , never used the tig with it but , it was cheap ($400) 140amp the plasma will cut clean 10mm steel all day long. I can get all parts for this off ebay
