What do you accomplished weldors think of the Invertec V160-T? I was at the Offshore Technology Conference last week and Lincoln Electric had a large display booth. I was drooling all over the Invertec V275-S even though I understand it's not primarily a TIG welder since it doesn't have high frequency start. They had a rack of 8 of them on display!

Realistic though, I'll probably end up with a MIG for a general-purpose welder, since I would like to do other types of welding more than just intricate aluminum TIG.

BTW, I was rereading my Finch welding manual last night, and it said TIG welding aluminum does not require a shielding gas. Is this true for MIG too?
