I was thinking of buying a MiG machine, but learning TiG is on my todo list. For a home hobbist are the 120v portable Tig machines worth the investment? Like a Lincoln Invertec V205-T or a Miller Diversion 120 (or one of the dual 120/220 voltage models). Say compared to a Mig from the same vendor marketed at a home user.

Or do you really need one with 220v service to really get the full benefit of TiG?

I am wondering if it be worthwhile to hold off buying a MiG machine and save up for a TiG one while I learn TiG or whatnot.


Thanks in advance.
