Can you more experienced folks let me know what they think about this welder? Anyone used it? Can I get something comperable/better for the cheaper/or around the same price(dont want spend more than 450)?

I bought a Hobart 250 amp Betamig (Similar to the Ironman 250) a few years ago. Great machine, but the problem is that when Miller bought out Hobart, parts for my machine became very hard to get. I am currently waiting on .024" drive rolls , so I can use .023" wire. I have been waiting for awhile now, and this is holding up my project.
I would suggest that you buy Miller, or Lincoln instead.

When you do decide be sure you get the tips and drive roll sets you need, according to the size of wire you will be using.

Also get the gas (argon/co2 mix) for best results, and go with .023" solid wire.
