I'm looking into buying a MIG welder to get started on my Teener. I need floor pans, hell hole, and it looks like a bit around the sails.
I just want a 110-120V unit, but I want a quality unit with good heat adjustability. I'm currently unemployed, so I'm on a limited budget as well. Any recommendations? I've been looking at a refurb Lincoln SP100T for $390 shipped. Also considering the SP140T and Power MIG 140C, Millermatic 140 and Hobart Handler 140. |

I'm using the 120v Miller 135 and can recommend it (paid $569.75 with shipping). One of the things that sold me on it are the all-metal wire drive parts. The rest of the welder is very well made too. I've never used a MIG with steps for voltage and wire speed but I know that when I'm welding under less than ideal conditions (like on a 30+yr old car) I like to be able to infinitely adjust both.
