TIG Aluminum for $800: PrimeWeld TIG225X Welder Review

A speedy look at this full-featured TIG welder that can be at your doorstep for less than a grand. Thanks to PrimeWeld for providing a machine to give an honest review, which furninshing of the machine was the only sponsorship for this video.

Only a decade ago, TIG welding machine features like square-wave alternating current and pulse capability were only available in the most expensive models. There are now machines available will all of these features at a much lower price. The PrimeWeld TIG 225X in one such machine and has received a lot of attention. I am so excited to have one of these in the shop and to try it out to see how it stacks up for gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. We also test out it's ability to weld using shielded metal arc welding (SMAW), also known as stick welding or rod welding.
