aluminum and stainless?

No personal experience, but I'm hoping somebody who's used one of the
3 in 1 TIG / Plasma cutter / Stick welders by Longevity or Everlast
will chime in with their experiences. Inverter machines at budget
prices. The Miller Diversion (inverter machine) has been getting good
reviews from the people who bought them.

Dont like anything that's three in one. Like scanner, printer, copier.
Never had one that worked worth a flip, and if you got problems with one
segment, usually the whole thing is useless. Not to mention the thick
instruction book. I prefer stand alone welding tools, save the ones that
have stick/tig combos.
