You can buy any type of tungsten you want except pure and zirconiated. Diameter could be 1/16 or 3/32. I'd buy both. Filler rod diameters as well...on filler you could go to 1/8" as well. I have both/all.
You can't pigeon hole TIG into an exact "need" as each situation will require your descretion and skill to dictate what you can or should use.
Be sure to order a consumable kit from us or buy some locally for the torch. Don't count on the starter kit to get you very far.
