normally, All-In-One equals None-In-One, Jack-of-All-Trade thing. i mean what type of work it's capable of handling? i can't find any info from Miller's website.

LoL, that's funny. i'm not that dumb, yet.


ok, i know Tig and Stick welders share alot of common component, so almost all the Tig welders are dual function with Arc. but Plasma? it's just odd.

my other question is what this thing can handle. i have a Centry 155GS, a little 110V mig, on the lid says "it can weld up to 1/4" mild steel". can it do it? maybe(with a big MMMMM)! but i've never tried, i went with my MM250 every time i need to work on something more than 3/16".

again, don't want to start a debate, just curious.

WRONG. You can tig steel or aluminum. Just use the correct filler rod. And you can mig aluminum or steel, you just have to replace the tips, liner, and rollers, or use a spool gun to mig alu.

I dont think I would do it on something structural. 110 machines just dont get as hot and get as much penetration as 220.
