Switched from a single-process MIG to this and it's been a game changer. The AC TIG on aluminum is smooth and the presets get me close every time.
I weld everything from thin sheet metal to thicker steel frames. This machine handles it all without breaking a sweat. Worth every penny.
Took me a while to dial in the AC TIG settings for aluminum, but once I did, the results were excellent. Wish the pedal came included.
We use this for field repairs and shop work. Runs great on generator power and the dual voltage input is clutch for our mobile setup.
Love the versatility but it's not the lightest machine to move around. Still, the weld quality across all processes makes up for it.
