Now that I'm all grown up and customizing the Ghia, I want a more legit machine (and one with more balls). To quote my neighbor, "I'm at that stage in my life where I'm too old to use cheap tools and drink cheap tequila."

I want a Lincoln or a Miller A/C D/C TIG/stick machine with a water cooled torch. :tup:

480 is a spicy meatball. I would love to learn TIG. Maybe now would be the time to invest in one of them multi machines.

So Rusty... is there any truth to sheet metal being more difficult with a 240V machine or do you think my buddy just doesn't have it set up correctly?
