With some alu welding coming up (radiators, intake manifold,
engine mount plate) I'm considering purchase of a welder.
What
would you recomend? TIG, MIG, cost?

Hi Finn,
I'll be using it a whole lot more in the next few weeks, but so far,
it's been great. The inverter machines are a lot smaller, and lighter
than the transformer types, and this one will run on 110 or 220, single, or
3 phase. I don't remember the specifics, but running on 110
will require a pretty beefy circuit. The inverter machines are also
quite a bit more expensive. I think I paid around $3500 for the
machine, contractors kit (torch, stick holder, ground cable, hoses, regulator,
etc), remote foot pedal, argon, and auto darkening helmet.
Not cheap, but a nice machine, with lots of advantages.
Rusty (I don't mind buying tools)
