If you get a Tig torch with just a start button try to buy another one with a little threaded gas switch on the hand piece with allows gas to flow when you turn it on, continuously until you turn it off at variable flow rates depending on how loose/tight and switch is. The price range isn't really enough for a good machine that has post flow settings and they aren't necessary if you get the hand piece that I was talking about.

i got that manual hand piece cos the good welder just too exxy lol
mugen_ctr, also put in budget of $100+ for pure argon for the big tank
which you will finish in first week of constant practice
oh fcuk, not to mention argon regulator $40+

so probably expect about $1g all up
for proper gear.

but tig is nice, its clean and looks nice when you weld ss
