The Grizzly specs don't mention anything about proportioning the clean time
in AC, which is a big feature with Miller, Lincoln, and HTP. Aluminum
welding benefits from that feature.
Although I've got only Miller MIG and AC stick machines myself, I've been
pretty impressed by the HTP TIG machines. Maybe it's because they're
located near me and I've been there a few times. Real friendly people.
HTP's machines are designed here, but the TIGs are built in Italy while the
MIG machines are assembled here from parts made in Germany. Lots of
features only found in the better Miller machines. They're not much cheaper
than similar-powered Miller or Lincoln machines, but have the edge on a few
features. I might buy theirs rather than a Miller, but Miller is all I've
ever trusted before.
