High frequency is needed for TIG welding aluminum and other non-ferrous metals to break through the oxide coating that forms and has a higher melting point than the metal underneath it. The welding instructor at the high school where I used to teach auto mechanics used to show his students how to weld two Coke cans together- - - -he was that good with the foot pedal current control on the TIG machine and a 1/16" diameter aluminum fill rod!

Compliment. I have a mig, a Hobart Handler 140, 115V.... Looking to add more capabilities for a resonable cost.

thank for the input everyone, was being lazy as I don't have a 220 outlet in the garage but think i'm going to go with one of the little inverter dual voltage ones. Will probably be carrying it back and forth to the farm and don't want to deal with anything too big or having to carry gas.
