Thanks for the responses! I could honestly afford a couple HF welders right now but don't want to buy something just to replace it a few months down the road because it can't do what I want it to. I've gone the cheap route on tools before and regretted it later. I will definitely look into the welders you guys suggested and try to find something with similar capabilities. My dad taught me to weld on a small Lincoln MIG when I was a kid and I really want to get back into it. Thanks again.
