Wow...so much testosterone...so little usable information.
I have a 300 amp multi-process machine setup for MIG, a 185 Amp TIG, and " 'lil sparky" - a 140 amp dedicated stick machine.
Now, why do I have all of those machines.....hmmmmm...maybe one process isn't the best for everything?
How about, you just make the correct joint preparation - and do the best with the machine you own? We do about 85% MIG, 10% TIG, and 5% stick.
If needed, the 300 Amp multi-process can get turned into a stick by flicking a toggle switch to the left and replacing the MIG gun with a stick stinger - I've never had to do that.....as the MIG is one pass using 1/16-inch wire on metal up to 1-inch. Waaaay faster than stick as the deposition rate is so much higher.
Sometimes time = money...but it helps to know WELD JOINT PREPARATION....
