    Carl... never say never. ;) I never thought I'd need to do aluminum, but now I'm getting into it, and need to get set up with a tig eventually to do so(thin work... not plate). As for the plasma, there are better options. Millers are ok, but are over rated as to how well they perform. I'd still...

    Carl... Used 3ph devices like lathes and knee mills are dirt cheap typically, because unless a person has 3 phase power, they are likely not to buy them. Otherwise the 2 options are a phase converter(either static or rotary) or a motor swap. JD2 makes a good bender As for plasmas, I'd look...

    If he keeps it to 37 or below, he should be ok. I agree that Toys may be a little weak for what his plans are. I'd reccomend a D60 and a 14bolt(or D70), if he wants to truly "get it." If he has a light foot, he could do ok, but results aren't always guarunteed. F-toys by rules are required to...
