I have been modernizing my welders. I recently bought a Millermatic 252 with an Alumapro push-pull gun and a Multimatic 215 with the TIG kit (I have the TIG kit for sale, I have no need for it). The last thing I need is a modern AC TIG welder. I want to be able to easily weld copper which isn't easy with a small TIG welder.
I have come up with the conclusion of:
Cheap seats: Lincoln Square Wave but really only good for steel and aluminum (~$1600 on perpetual fixed-price sale)
Fine, way more features, but missing a name in the US: HTP Invertig 221 (~$2400 on sale/Black Friday)
Need another hole in my pocket: Miller Dynasty 210 DX (~$3400 on rebate/freebies/store cash back).
You're going to end up buying a torch and cables with all of them because I haven't seen any I liked out of the box... so might as well just buy the power source alone if you can.
I am a novice welder on a good day. But if you learn on shit machines in welding in shit conditions when you get a fancy welder everything is easy.
