i am in the middle of finding the right welder for my intended purposes.

i need to be able to weld .032"-.125" aluminum sheet, .049"-.069" stainless tubing, and i would like to try titanium tubing in a similar size as the stainless.

i've read that it's possible to weld the stainless with the likes of a hobart handler 135 mig, that i need a high end ac tig for the aluminum that thin (.032",) and dc tig for the titanium.

this would be an easy decision if i could just buy a hobart tigmate, but is a minimum of 20 amps ac low enough? any recommendations for the budget minded? any chance an oxy/acetylene rig will do the trick :-)
