I'm getting a MIG for Christmas. Trying to decide between a Miller 140C and a 180C. The 180C is only $93 more... but the garage is not wired for 220.
1) Can I wire it myself? 2) Is the 180C overkill for a 914? I shoulda bought it last week... MIG welders all took a big jump in price in the last week (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
