Yea, I understand. the problem I see with most light duty welders is a great looking bead with no penetration. Something that scares me on fabricating suspension mounts and components.

Nice machine, seems complicated with all the variables. I would definitely stay in the user manual.. 3000.00 price range.. to rich for my shallow pockets.

I like the all in one feature , but considering your getting three machines in one. Maybe $ 3000.00 isn't too bad. Still above my budget also.
