Lincoln Invertec V275-S

Hello
I am planning to buy some quantity of Lincoln Invertec V275-S to weld stainless steel pipe, however I need a confirmation of below information.
May I ask you to confirm that:
Lincoln Invertec V275-S is one of the good welding machine from Lincoln.
However, there is no any information regarding with this welding machine has HF (high frequency) properties. There is one of advantage of this machine that:
"Touch-Start TIG™ design permits the DC TIG welding arc to be established without high frequency starting."
Is that samething with HF properties or its better than that (such as lift-tig).
Thanks for helping
Kind Regard.

Hello again..
Does anybody may help me please to confirm that..
I had already wrote to Lincoln and I could not get any reply..

There are 3 options to buy welding machine with HF property..
1- Invertec V270-S (HF property is available)
2- Invertec V270-T (HF property is available)
3- Invertec V275-S (I think HF property is available but I am not 100 % sure to buy it)

I am planning to buy Invertec V275-S.. is it ok. to buy for SS pipe with GTAW process..

Thanks for helping

That gets you to lincoln's page on the invertec V275-S. If you click on "more product information" a PDF with more information will come to you. This is an all DC machine (so no aluminum). I don't think it has HF nor do I see an option to add it on. Without knowing it to be so touch-start and lift-tig are probably trade names for similar systems.
