Have you done much welding in the past ?

My AHM (Snap On) is all controlled by a processor, it makes welding for newbies very easy [img]smile.gif[/img]

 

Mine is about 3K but it's a 200 amp

You can get cheaper ones.

yea mig welding is the bees knees , simple compared to the other forms

 

I can attest to Miller quality. I have the 135 (basically the 115V version of the one you are eyeing down) and it is a great little unit, especially with the abuse it has seen. The only thing I suggest is that you look into some 115V units as well. They are cheaper and much more versatile because you can use them basically anywhere, not just where 230V is available. Also, a 115V unit is probably enough for you unless you are doing some seriously heavy stuff, mine will handle up to 1/4" with no problems.

 

bigger = better (duty cycle) !!!

 

We have a Millermatic 210 welder. Very good investment.. out of those choices i would buy the miller or hobart. At work, we have bad experience with the lincons. Pluss I like miller better [img]smile.gif[/img] If you are going to do heavy duty stuff (Ie..make an extreme vehical [img]tongue.gif[/img] LOL) go with the 230v. May I sugest gas (Argon/C02) and 0.035 wire. Please correct me if i an wrong [img]smile.gif[/img] .
