Tig welder recommendations...
Discussion
I’m after a small to medium sized tig welder to learn on and to start welding a few projects I want to make in my garage.
Something like what Colin Furze uses on his projects on YouTube.
I don’t want to spent thousands and I’m happy to buy second hand.
Anyone got any suggestions please?

Try asking over on https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/ and you should get a decent response.
Jasic is chinese crap. Buy something half decent like r-tech (also chinese but a UK company) and you'll at least have good customer service should something go wrong.
Determining what your intended use is will affect the cost. For example, if you're welding aluminium around 6mm thick, you'll probably be looking for a 200a machine, which will set you back around a grand. An then you have consumables, mask, pedal, gas, watercooling etc. It adds up quickly. A 'proper' machine with many functions and from a decent brand will set you back a lot more. Get on the mig welding forum, lots of good advice on there, but to do it properly you're looking at £1.5-2k.
