If I were you, I would also look at inverter welders. They are smaller
and lighter. I forget which one Ernie says is the best buy. Most
inverter welders do not provide AC, and are therefore not especially
good for Aluminum. But one of them does ( not Miller or Lincoln ).


On Ernie's recommendation I bought a Thermal Arc 185 TSW, which I'm guessing
is the machine to which you're referring. AC, DC, pulsing, sequencing, very
small and light, and of course, it's exceedingly purple. I like mine.
