for a cheap muliprocess welder get a ac/dc buzz box stick welder and buy a tig torch set up. they actually make kits for this with every thing you need. (google tombstone tig) im able to weld pretty much every thing i need to weld with tig or stick although mig is quite handy sometimes. also if you can take a class do it!! you wont regret it. all you do is sit a booth weld. you get tones off seat time and you dont have to buy all the consumables and metal you go through. right now im learning to be a pipe welder and would probably cry if i knew how much money in pipe ive welded up lol.
hopes this helps brutha!
