Does this is worth the money
I need a small plasma cutter and this would satisfy my needs.
http://www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete...er-cut-50.html But here I found a combination of plasma and TIG. Not a big price difference, but I do not know is this TIG usable or a waste of money. http://www.stahlwerk-schweissgeraete...-520-puls.html Any advice is welcome |

no. I always go with a big reputable company so i can buy parts always. that being said I find I dont use my plasma cutter much. sometimes it fits the bill perfectly for a job but I dont use it near as much as I thought I would.

I'm with Brent on this. A plasma cutter is nice to have for that detail every once in a while but the edge will always need to be ground before welding.
A TIG is a temperamental machine and you want someone else to get the body of the machine to do the right things especially as a learning welder. I've lots of friends that bought a TIG cheap and had problems that they could not identify. If you know how to weld and have a master welder check out the setup maybe but if there is any hesitancy don't buy it.

I like the idea having multi purpose units but I have never heard of that brand. It isn't sold in the States. Not saying it is a bad unit. You will have to investigate further.
I took a chance on a Plasma with a built in air compressor from Lincoln Welding and I have been extremely happy with the performance. You might have the same luck. I agree with the rest of the comments when it comes to Tig's, get quality to assure yourself reliability.

The welder your link takes us to is DC only. I would think you would want AC/DC so you can weld aluminum. Also foot pedal has to be bought separate.
