Welding Tips and Tricks

Just watched on YouTube ChuckE2009. He bought a Fronius TP-180-mv.
I am a newbie. Wanting to buy a welder. This looked nice. On the Fronius website. They have a page full of torches.
I do not know which one is the best. Starting out, I do not need to match anything. Just want to get everything I need all at once. I would be using it on; aluminum, carbon steel and cast iron.
Any help and information is greatly appreciated !!

Welcome. That welder you have listed cannot weld aluminum. It is a DC only machine. I would personally say for you to look at a Lincoln sqaurewave or head over to everlast and check them out. Fronius seem to be overpriced as well.

To be clear, Chuckee didn't buy that machine.

This is quite true. They sent it to him to use probably with a check. That is why I usually ignore his reviews and just watch the build cause I like watching build no matter how good or bad.
