Wayne --- The beauty of this machine is that it can MIG ----- AND ----- TIG.... Once you learn to TIG you'll never MIG anything. Once you TIG - MIG is like stick welding. LOL

Expect to spend another $500 on all the "stuff" you'll need just to get to basic MIG status. You'll need pressure gauges - MIG gun - Ground... Bottle of gas - a Cart (or better yet - use the new tool to build or modify a cart).

What you also might be missing -- Spindle adaptors for various diameter wires... Common are .035 / .030 / .025 -- while they can't be very expensive - you'll need them for various jobs.

The MIG gun from Lincoln --- is $310 by itself (list price)

In other words ---- you're not going to buy this for $500 --- you're going to be in it a grand..... A Multi-purpose machine - for a grand -- not a bad purchase.... and you can have one machine that can do MIG/STICK/TIG..... just don't expect all that for $500 - but you can add capability as you learn or want to!
