Hi All,

NooB here to the forum. I know these types of questions are probably pretty common on this site, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

A new endeavor has presented the need for a solid tig machine, and I have always been interested in getting a multi-process when the time was right. I have welded many years mig and some tig, but only on an old, large Miller machine that was in the shop, therefore my knowledge on all of the new technologies is pretty slim to none.

The new job mentioned is fabricating beer-brewing equipment in stainless steel exclusively (no AC needed). The majority of the work will be 16 ga sheet, but other duties will be 1/8" tubing and the occasional 3/16-1/4 plate. I would like to have a dual voltage machine as well because I will be doing some prototyping in a small garage that only has 110 outlets with 100 amp service.

With that said, I was looking at the PowerUltra 185. Would this machine be a good fit for me? If not, I am open to all suggestions.

Please excuse any/all ignorant questions. I was directed to Everlast by a professional welding friend and am very impressed with the features/prices I am seeing.

Thanks!

Travis
