Hobart welder ?s

I have a Lincoln WeldPak 100 110v, Lincoln Pro Mig 175 220v, and a Lincoln AC-225 stick. I have used 110v Hobarts and 110v and 220v Millers and they are all badass! Just personal preference is all it boils down to.

i got the same ac-225 stick too. it doesnt get used much yet,will as soon as i get reay to put the new beams up in the shop tho lol

Yea, mine sits most of the time too! lol. I used it when I was broke trying to build a truck and couldnt afford a 220v MIG. Welded a few notches and bag mounts in with it. Got to be carefull with it though, crank it up too high and you are burning holes in 1/4" plate, lol!

i've had my ironman 210 for about 5 yrs now, i love it, i weld the snot out of it too..

--------------------------------------------- Originally posted by SoloSpecialties same here,ive never owned a 110 tho,and i hate it when people use them for frame work..i dont care how good they say it penetrates lol. --------------------------------------------- So this won't work from a 110?? Hmmmm.....    

Welds look good bro, but unless you beveled all those edges your penetrationprobably  isnt going to be that deep, not hatin, but I wouldnt take the chance on a frame.. I use a Hobart 180 and love it..

Well pull me from the conversation, cuz I just realized I'm using a Miller 140 115v, not a 110..LOL

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by SoloSpecialtiesEdited: 5/16/2009 10:14:44 PM by SoloSpecialtiesi got the 187 220v. its a beast. i have used it almost daily for 2 years,only thing i have replaced was the trigger on the gun,which i really didnt replaced i just jerry rigger a push button mommentary switch to it haha. ive done everything from sheetmetal to 3/8" plate with it with no problems. i say buy it,you wont be dissapointed,not with a 220 atleast,i cant speak for the 110's since ive never used a 110 welder of any brand. ---------------------------------------------HAHA..I did the EXACT same thing on my Hobart 180...people jive when they first see it. But, when I tell them to try it and they see that my button is actually more comfortable and easier to use they are like "maybe I need to break my trigger".I have had mine for 9 years and that is the only issue..and that happened about 4 years ago.

i have the 140 hobart, and i think its a really good welder up to 3/16, i have a miller 250 for anything thicker
