What it eventually will look like . . . .  Group: Members Posts: 355 Joined: 29-March 07 From: Maple Grove, MN Member No.: 7,632 Region Association: Northstar Region  |
I was going to use my brother's 220 volt Lincoln for my car restoration (new pans, hell hole kit and long stiffening kit). Unfortunately, due to the limitaitons with the 100 amp panel in my new house, an additional 220 volt tap would be VERY expensive (think new line under the street from the city into my house with all new panel). Sooooo . . .. back to 110 volt options.
I was looking a the Lincoln SP135T. However, for $150 more I can get the 135 Plus with the variable adjustment (versus the click stops with the 135T). Is the variable adjustment worth the extra $150? |

The best deal I could find on my Lincoln was from Indiana Oxygen ( no tax and free shipping ) Ebay and their own web site .. really nice guys ... and the machine was here in 2 days !
I went 220v 180c .. with the constant voltage ( finer adjustment ) ... very happy with it ... Spring for an auto-darkening hood if you don't have one ... and if you have any bucks left ..the cart is a life saver working on cars .. the leads on the welder are pretty short ... |
