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've got the Miller 135 (model is now a 140) with the fully adjustable wire feed and voltage. It has the gas - I use Stargon. Your first project should be a cart...Check out the welding boards - search for cart and you'll get lots of ideas.
www.millerwelds.com I'm very happy with mine and it's very reliable. Go to your local steel supplier and ask them if they have a scrap bin - it's a great source for practice stuff and also for odds and ends that you can use it in projects. I've also got a small commercial Arco stick welder for anything really big - but I haven't done anything yet in two cars that the Miller hasn't handled. Last time I used the stick was for my utility trailer frame. Troy |
