[QUOTE="patooyee, post: 380469, member: 483"] It seems like I am a needy little bitch when it comes to welding aluminum. I have a buddy that does it for me for free but I feel like I am a trouble / bother to him and it is also inconvenient for me to work around another person's schedule. (He is not at all difficult to deal with, its just that he and I are both busy people and working around two busy schedules is difficult.) I feel like it is time I get into doing it myself. This is strictly hobby and about 80% of what I do is sheet metal. But 20% is 1/4" plate so I need that ability. My shop is a 100+ year old building with electrical that is already overtaxed. I do have a 20-hp 3-phase motor that I use to run my 3-phase lathe though. I could drw 3-phase off of that to run a welder I think? What should I be looking for? My budget is $2000 or less. [/QUOTE]
