Welders

I am looking to get a welder! Just dont know what one will be best. So please let me know what you are using.

Miller i had a Hobart and had nothing but problems with it....

hobart MIG 220 great welder for the price

I bought a 220 lincoln 170t (now its called the 175 plus) and it makes even first timers look like pro welders. Plenty of heat.

I dont like buying things twice, so I bought a 220v welder first. Some people will say a 110v will work, and its true, for now. But 5 years from now you may want to build a whole stock floor frame. I couldnt imagine trying to build my frame with a 110....

Lincoln is expensive, but you get what you pay for. Its been used on countless trucks and projects over the last 8 years, I've never replaced anything but tips and shields and wire.

Lincoln sp 100 - over 10 years old and still going strong. I beleive that they are now called sp 135 or something simmilar. it is 120 volt and has welded more than you can imagine but still able to do light metal. one imprtant thing to look for is an adjustable heat setting - not one that has heat indents (only 4 or 5 settings) makes working os sheet meats much easier.

I have a 220v millermatic 175. I got for around 650.00 from a buddy at ceekay last year

Millermatic 185 220v

I have a lincoln pro mig 175.

LINCOLN ELECTRIC PRO MIG 140, 110V, AND WILL WELD UP TO 5/16" THICK METAL, SLOW ON THICKER STUFF, BUT WORKED LIKE A CHAMP WHEN I SWAPPED MY RAD SUPPORT OUT.....$400 @ LOWES

I have a Lincoln 3200 HD great welder for the price and it will weld up to 1/4" on a standard outlet but starts to have trouble, I'm going to get a Lincoln Power Mig this summer

I think all of the newer welders do this but you might want to make sure that the welder you buy has an overload protection. If it gets to hot it shuts it's self down until it has had time to cool down to a safe working temperature.
