I have a Miller Syncrowave 250. I love it. It does anything I need on aluminum and steel. The new inverter units are smaller,lighter and even better yet.

I have a Lincoln 350 Square wave and love it. It will tig and stick. I have repaired 3.5 inch thick aluminum with it. Had a job that a cutter crashed on a piece 4 feet long 2.5 feet wide and 3.5 thick material. Gouged out a hole about .5 deep. That piece of material was about half way machined and would bring $1800.00 when finished. It was for a customer in the medical field and was for and order of five x-ray machine parts that were a frame that held the stuff that they put under a part when x-ray'ed and had to be plated when finish. Turned out nice. No pits, I used a strip of the parent material off of the block for the filler.

Older Lincoln 225 for Me. After My last new Miller fried the circuit board, I went back to something without a fricking computer in it. All the fancy setting do not make My welds any better.
