I would suggest a MillerMatic 250 amp machine. Get a machine that takes a 44lb roll also since all welding supplie stock them. Also pay attention to the duty cycle. The higher the better
Alot of the ESAB are ok but most has a 60%, or around this, duty cycle.

On another note the ESAB that is mentioned above. You are doing one heck of a weave and fill running 0.35 wire on 1/2 plate to fill in one pass. You can make any machine do it but without a good duty cycle it will poop out early.
