I bought a 40 amp with a turbo upgrade from Parkermetalworking and I have cut 5/8 Aluminum it is rated 1 inch sever cut on steel and 3/4 clean cut and will do it. A secret get a log on for pirate.com and tell them what it is when You order(decent discount)just over $500 for the machine and extras. Parker has a good rep and good machines. they have tig machines and stick too.
