Just because it can be used at a higher duty cycle on a lower setting, doesn't mean it isn't rated as a 20% duty cycle machine. Otherwise every machine made would say 100% duty cycle. I think the AC 225 can be used at 100% for only one 10 minute period and then has to cool off. Duty cycle isn't continuous. "Darn near indestructable". Maybe in a farm or hobby shop with occassional use it could last a long time. In a welding shop it could be toast in 5 minutes.

A lower cost way to cut metal? How about a thin cutting disc in a grinder. Faster, highly accurate and much cheaper than using a 220 volt welder. Everybody that welds should have a grinder. A sawzall does a nice job too.

I made a slight error on the smaller version AC 225. It's an AC 225 GLM with lower duty cycle rating than the standard AC 225.
