LLoyd I got a Lincoln Squarewave 175, the early model that goes down to 12A, second-hand for $1200 about 10 years ago. At that time $1200 was a typical "street" price for them. I bought it from a welding dealer, it wasn't hot. I've used better ones but it's OK for the little I do. I took it to welding class to practice with and compare to theirs. I was about equally bad, and the instructor equally good, on aluminum with mine and with the big one the school owned. I spent 8 weeks running practice beads on aluminum. Some came out fine but I never did learn to weld a consistently good bead without a few practice runs. Jim Wilkins |
