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. |

My wife just bought me a new welder for Christmas.
I am sure it is more welder that I will need, but it should last me for a lifetime and will handle anything from sheet metal up to 1/2 inch plate for jigs and work tools etc. It is a Millermatic 212, and is a dandy welder. PS nobody pays list. She bought it for $400 off list. Something like 1300. A bit of advise from an old fart....cheap tools are always cheap. If you buy cheap consider them throw away tools, but buy a welder, or air compressor, or plasma cutter to last you a lifetime....Cheap is ok for air tools, or hand electric tools, but anything over a few hundred dollars should be the best you can buy. |
