Your tig welding equipment list for precise, clean results

If sorting torches, cups, tungstens, gas lenses, flow rates, and foot controls feels messy, this is your shortcut. Everything You NEED to Know About TIG Welding distills a practical tig welding equipment list into exactly what to buy, why it matters, and how to set it up for steel, stainless, and aluminum. From machine specs (AC/DC, pulse, duty cycle) to torch families (9/17/20), tungsten types and diameters, cups and gas lenses, filler selection, and must-have prep/safety tools, you get a streamlined bill of materials that prevents contamination, improves gas coverage, and removes guesswork.

Compiled by veteran fabricators and vetted in production shops, it replaces forum noise with clear, field‑tested guidance, so you spend less, start faster, and lay down cleaner, repeatable beads.

• Prioritized equipment lists by material and thickness, with model‑agnostic recommendations and sensible upgrade paths.
• Setup charts: amperage ranges, tungsten size/grind, cup and gas flow, filler alloy, and pedal or finger control.
• Troubleshooting and buying criteria that cut rework, protect consumables, and keep you welding—not wandering aisles.
