i just dropped about $7 beans on a Miller 140(i think) auto-set 110v Mig w/ bottle. It is a VERY smooth welder and i actually like the auto-set feature as it uses an algorithm to adjust wire speed as you adjust heat.

re. Al i got to watch our instructor use both Tig and stick to put an Al framed street bike back together. Tig is way cool to watch (and REAL easy to warp metal with) but the stick Al was pretty wild as well. that guy was very good with a grinder.

oh and my inexperienced opinion on welding is that a LOT of it is in your technique and ability to read your puddle.

I believe we all make mistakes but I will not validate your poor choices and/or perversions and subsidize the results your actions.
