Posted for "Tom Kendall" <Tom.Kendall@att.net>:

I bought the Lincoln last year after trying both the Miller and the Lincoln
at Oshkosh.  The demonstration tents were the first places I'd ever struck
an arc, but after watching some folks that were pretty good at it, I quickly
decided the Lincoln was better adapted to doing very fine (i.e. low current)
welding on thin materials.

I've since used it on Aluminum, steel shapes, and thin sheet steel.  I used
it to weld several continuous fillets on 16 gauge and 22 gauge steel sheet
when making an oil pan, and was very pleased with the results.  Turns out
that with a little practice, even I could make a pretty decent fillet.

My 25 cents worth...
