Another welding ???

What can it do? How thick of aluminum can it weld? How thick of mild steel?

Is this a good machine for tubing? How about steel sheetmetal (bodywork).

I can weld with a wire-feed welder, but am looking for the most versatile machine I can get, and I don't want to be held back by a big investment in a high-end MIG machine that won't do some things very well. 4x4 is not my only interest, delicate welding is in my future and for this I beleive I need a TIG machine.

Is this it? Is this a hobby machine that will fit our sport and have the adaptability I desire? Tell about this thing, or suggest another please.

I have a 180, It is a excelent machine. I have never needed more power than it puts out yet. I don't use the tig for real heavy stuff, but for .120 wall tube it is sweet. I use the stick feature more than anything. It does aluminum nice, I have tiged up to 1/4" Al plate and it was fine. I have also done thin al and ss down to say 16GA and it works great.
