Any D C stick welder can be adapted to TIG welding most metals (not Aluminum). Purchase a torch, regulator/flowmeter and hose, rent a cylinder of gas (preferably Argon) . Connect the TIG lead to the negative - post, your ground cable to the positive + post, set the flow at 15 - 20CFM and you're in business. You will have to scratch start to establish an arc. You will also have to guess where to set the amperage control on the machine. Practice will help with this.
