I'm in the market for a Welder. I'm not sure what I want yet, so why not ask the most opinionate group I know.... I have access to plenty of Mig Machines and would classify myself as a decent welder. I REALLY want a TIG machine - AC/DC. I can see myself doing more work on aluminum and thin steel after this jeep project is over. Right now my immediate need is for frame work on my jeep project, but I have a 220v inverter based Lincoln I can bring over for that project. So... In order of what i think i want here is what im looking at.

(Top Choice)
Miller Multimatic 220 AC/DC

AC/DC Tig - DC Mig in one machine.

(Second Choice)
INVERTIG 221 AC/DC SINGLE VOLTAGE (220V)

I've always heard that a dual process machine is going to compromise in both processes, but have never tig or used a dual process. Curious to see others' experience.

There's also something to be said for two machines where if one goes down you're not stuck, unless you're tigging aluminum and it goes down...

Those are vaild concerns. That new multi-process is getting really good reviews from the hobbyist style users. The idea of two machines is great, but i would have to stack them somehow. I also don't see any of my work being mission critical if a machine goes down it just delays a bit.
 
for as much as you will be welding, i think having all of the options in one box is super handy with the miller setup you listed.
 
I know ESAB was making a name for themself throught the last couple of years.. I don't have any personal experience with any other than my Hobart. But may be something to look into..
 
Chuck loves his Everlast machine. I was planning to go that route when I bought a Tig setup.

But, you can't go wrong with a Miller product IMO.
 
A bunch of miller and Lincolin welders on GOVDEALS.COM located in west columbia. Might be able to pick up a good used unit. It's close to yall
