Hello all! I am trying to learn as much as I can about welding before I purchase a welder. I realize I will need one in my hand to learn the most. I'm looking at a lincoln weldpak 3200. Is it the same as the lincoln 135? I like Lincoln because they seem to be the most common. I'll weld mostly light steel. Being in the marine business, I'd like a unit that will weld stainless and aluminum also. I understand that you can't make chicken soup, out of shicken POOP. If somebody feels I am looking at the wrong welder let me know. I'm willing to spend a few bucks to buy a quality unit that will help bridge the learning curve/gap. thanks

Looks like a good machine. I have heard some people say that 220 Volt machines are much better than 110 Volt, but I couldn't comment on this as I have no experience of 110 Volt. Anything from Lincoln or Miller/Hobart is nearly always going to rate highly. I wouldn't hold back on any of these manufacturers if the spec is right for what you want.
Seems to have a very good warranty of 3 years.
Definetely use gas sheilding however.
Have you considered TIG for aluminium welding like you suggest you may do?

Thanks Alex,
I'm not sure aluminum is something I'll do very often, so it's not a priority. I am interested in TIG though. Can you tell me about it? In the past, an experienced welder has placed equipment in my hand, and it worked great. I just didn't know what is was.
