Duty Cycle
The Rated Duty Cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The Eastwood TIG 200 has a duty cycle of 60% at 190 Amps. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes. If welding at 190 Amps with a 60% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 6 Minutes with 4 Minutes of cooling for the welder. To increase the Duty Cycle you can turn down the Amperage Output control. Going above 190 Amps will yield a lower duty cycle.

What is TIG Welding?
The Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) process is the most effective way to weld thin ferrous metals (steel, stainless steel, iron, etc.) as well as non-ferrous metals (e.g. aluminum, copper, nickel). We’ve developed affordable TIG welding machines that are powerful, easy-to-use and portable. Our TIG Welder Guide will help new and experienced fabricators select the right welder.
What to Look for in a TIG Welder
• Best TIG Welder for Beginners: A multi-Process machine like the Eastwood Elite MP140i is a multi-process welder that does TIG welding on steel up to 3/16-inch thick (or ¼-inch with the optional spool gun). Plus it allows you to MIG and Stick weld, making it a very versatile unit. Multi-Process, or MP machines, are also available in other, larger sizes for welding thicker metals.
• Intermediate TIG Welding: For more experienced bodyworkers, the Eastwood TIG 200 DC is perfect for welding steel and stainless up to ¼-inch thick. If you also need to weld aluminum, check out the TIG 200 AC/DC welder. For reference a DCmachine welds steel and stainless while an AC/DC machine not only welds steel and stainless but also aluminum.
• Advanced TIG Welding: Are you a skilled TIGwelder who needs as many controls and features as possible for the best performance? Then check out the TIG200 AC/DC Digital Welder that offers Pulse, 2T/4T Modes, AC Frequency Control and programmable settings.
Eastwood provides a 3-year manufacturer’s warranty and lifetime tech support for all of our DIY welders. Browse the Tech Library or Eastwood Garage for expert tips about TIG welding and what to look for in your equipment. We’ve been an automotive restoration and customization leader since 1978.
Application Tips
Best AC/DC TIG Welder
A 200-amp Eastwood TIG welder is the most affordable way for mechanics and other metal workers to get excellent welds on all of their projects. This AC/DC TIG welder uses a tungsten electrode to heat metals and joins them together without becoming part of the finished weld, reducing splatter and mess. The AC mode is used for aluminum, while the DC mode can be used to weld steel and stainless steel in tube, sheet or bar stock form, offering incredible versatility in a skilled set of hands. A stick-weld feature is available as well for use in outdoor conditions or on dirty metals.
Our team has designed this machine to be easy for beginners to use while still offering the capabilities that advanced welders need. It has a straightforward control panel for setting your arc, amperage and mode. The AC/DC adapter cord makes it a cinch to switch between modes. Our portable TIG welders weigh just 45 pounds so you can load them into a car, truck or trailer and bring them wherever you're needed.
A Complete TIG Welding Package
Anyone with a power source of 110 to 240 volts can power the Eastwood TIG200 Welder for spot welding or fabrication on metals thick and thin. You'll get precise welds thanks to the high-frequency instant start and square-wave AC inverter that assist with control and accuracy. It is rated for a duty cycle of 60 percent at normal amperage, meaning you can weld until the job is finished.
Everything is included with this welder for doing excellent welding straight out of the box. In addition to the AC/DC TIG welder, you'll receive a shielding gas regulator and hose (gas tanks sold separately), a Flex Head WP-17 Series TIG torch that uses industry-standard consumables, several sizes of gas nozzles and collets, two tungsten rods, a gas flow meter, rocker style foot pedal for improved precision and much more. Eastwood backs each welder with a 3-year warranty and our 100 percent customer satisfaction guarantee.
Eastwood 200-Amp TIG AC/DC Welder
Advanced DIY fabricators and professional body shop technicians can count on the TIG 200 for their automotive restoration work. These AC/DC welders do precise, clean welds on mild steel and stainless up to ¼-inch thick. Use our TIG welders for aluminum thanks to the square-wave inverter or switch to the stick welding mode for additional versatility. The 120V/240V adapter cord makes it easy to switch between AC and DC power supplies.
From aluminum sheets and steel tubes to bar stock, the Eastwood TIG 200 will Do the Job Right. Each portable AC/DC TIG welder has a long WP-17-type torch, gas lens kit, rocker-style foot pedal and ground cables to navigate any project. Fine-tune settings on the control panels so you get the best results. We offer a three-year manufacturer's warranty and 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

Questions & Answers
can the tig 200 ac dc tig use a hand controller instead of a foot control ?
I’ve been looking at the TIG200 AC/DC. I would need to run it from a generator but my generator is only 7250 continuous/9000 surge. Would it work with my generator or is it to small? Thanks!
Looking to upgrade from just mig to mig/tig welder. Moving to England soon, will this welder work there?
how many amps does this machine draw from its cord ?
If i'm reading this correctly, this machine only does AC Tig. Am I right to assume such?
I found today that the new upgraded tig 200 has been upgraded with the socket for stick welding which i was adding to my welder. Id appreciate if you can tell me if there is something else to modify besides installing the socket to invert polarity.
Is the tig 200 able to run from generator power?
Can I stick weld with this welder is that a Option
