The company I work for is looking to buy a new welder to reduce our costs from putting our welding out to the local fabricators, I currently only have a 250A Arc welder so not much use to us when we need to work with aluminium also.
Most of our work is in 2mm wall box and 5mm sheet steel with occasional 10mm channel and 2mm and 3mm sheet and angle alu with occasional 6mm sheet. Our business is sign's, the steel work is usually for projection signs and poles (upto around 5mx1.8m) and the alu work is for illuminated shop fascias. As i've mentioned we are slowly doing more steel work in house but still have to put the alu work out.
So my question is whats our best option for around the £750-1000 ex Vat mark? (if its even possible to get a AC Tig in our price range)
