Welder recommendations

If you do go with a new machine just remember that it all has to be right to see the benefits. The right gas, the right (clean) wire, ect, and a good work/ground clamp. The clamps that come with any machine are junk. Buy a good one.

If you're going to hard pipe air then put in a dryer/dessicant unit. You'll need it for painting and plasma requires dry air too.

If you go with Miller look for rebates like the "build with blue" promos.
