tig with ranger 8

[francois]

Hi,

what is required to tig with a ranger 8?
is it possible to tig in the ac position, for welding alu?
Since I don't have hf, would it only be harder to start welding, or also put more limitations?
Is the ranger 8 ready to accept a foot pedal as is, or is another module required?

My main use would be to weld aluminium.

Thanks

Do a search, this exact topic has come up before.

You cannot AC tig with out a Hi Freq on a sine wave machine.

Ranger 8 has no remote capabilities.

It can be done, but there sure are better machines and ways to do it.
