I recently purchased this helmet , http://www.usaweld.com/Striker-Digital-Welding-Helmet-p/90131-dig.htm
The price was good and it works very well , has four arc sensors
Researched compressors for months and purchased this one http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200612354_200612354
Its does not make a lot of noise , delivers sufficient air and is portable . Also the motor on mine is dual voltage , hope this helps
After months of research i just purchases a HTP invertig 221 and could not be more pleased . It welds aluminum like butter . I could not find a negative review of this machine and was all set to buy a TA 186 , very pleased with my choice

For few hundred bucks you could get this which comes ready to go with a foot pedal

I was planning on making a receiver hitch mount ( under bench) for a vise and stumbled upon this. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200624065_200624065
Was wondering if anyone had any experience with this , Thanks
