[QUOTE="wont work, post: 380800, member: 4320"] Miller syncrowave is the way I would go. I have 2 200 at school and a 300 at my shop. The 200's are both air cooled and run several hrs a day with kids using them and they weld great to this day. Mine is water cooled just because I weld for several hrs sometimes on thick material. You don't need water cooled and not really needed on anything. Air is fine. I also have the Lincoln precision tig and hate it. It is water cooled and will not weld anything like the Miller's in my shop. It overheats before you can weld a bung on a gas tank for an example. Yes it is a cheaper machine and works for most people, but I will never buy another one. I would def get a 220 machine since your wanting to weld on some 1/4 stuff. With a 110 you would probably be ok on carbon steel but AL would give you fits with how much heat it takes to weld it. Also of you get into some 60 grade AL you will appreciate the extra juice.
