I have the forerunner to that cool machine...a 175 square wave. It's perfect for hotrod stuff. I load it up and travel to guys shops to do work for them. I even leased it to a guy and then got paid to do the project at his shop. Paid for the welder.

I tig weld for a living too. 50 hr a week. I often burn 8-10 pounds of rod a night. 20 -300 amps. We run the daylights out of the Miller Syncrowav's.
