Eastwood Mig 90

I don’t know what your budget is, or what you plan on doing, but I would save my money and buy the MIG 250.

You may never need it, but you’ll have it if you do. That machine will easily weld aluminum with a spool gun and 100% argon gas. With a 60% duty cycle at 250 amps you can actually get something done and not wait on the machine. And the 250 has a 100% duty cycle at 194 amps.

No one ever said I wish I’d bought a smaller machine. Usually.

The other thing is the bigger machines generally do better at lower amps. You aren’t running so close to the edge of the duty cycle.

Who knows…you may start doing sheet metal repair and end up fabricating all kinds of stuff.

Buy once, cry once.
