i just looked up the price on one of those mm220's
, i cant believe how expensive name brand machines have gotten! 2 years ago you could buy a ranger 305 for that kinda money!
My thoughts on mig aluminum.....its easy until you try to get a cwb ticket for it....over 50% fail rate....the weld looks good but then inside there is always some little inclusion, gas coverage issue, or lack of fusion at a stop/start, plus the fumes are horrible for you...terrible, terrible process
i think i might have the laziest plasma cutter mounting setup, i have mine literally hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the garage on 2 ladder hooks, with the torch/ground coiled up on another hook....ive had that arrangement going for the last 6-7 years
