I have the Lincoln 175 Squarewave and love it. I think it was replaced by a 185. It's plenty for chassis work and thin aluminum up to 1/8". I bought a big 300 amp Esab with the cooling tower and all that for the aluminum jobs but still use my Lincoln 99 percent of the time.

Good luck

I did my chassis with a Miller 180 syncrowave. Works great.
