Default Check out my new toy!
This machine can weld up to 1/2" thick plate and equipped with Aluminum welding capabilities. Now if I could just learn how to weld aluminum I can finish my project....

Good investment in our line of work though. It should pay for itself in about 2 days...

I love mIller, I have a Millermatic 230 and I cant get enough of it.. MIG welding aluminum is super easy, I have the spool gun for mine. However its extremely messy and I only use it for quick repairs or mock-ups..

Sweet machine. Although I am a novice at welding, I enjoy it a great deal. Used to be into woodworking but since I started working with metal it simply doesn't compare.
