I'm lookin at getting a MIG welder. I was wondering who has what, what works well, gas tanks, price, etc. Please give me some ideas of what to get.

i have a lincoln pro mig-140, my fiance bought it for me for x-mas last year from lowe's for @ $400......very nice, it does what i need. it is a 110v welder, it came with the hoses for gas, a roll of mig wire, and a roll of flux cored wire too.....it says it will weld up to 1/4" thick metal...i welded my trailer "hidden hitch" onto the frame of the truck & it did just fine. if your gonna do a bunch of thicker metal, i'd go with 220v

millermatic 210 with spoolgun and dual silenoids. welds aluminum and stainless. cost is well over $1500 after all the bells and whistles though. i love it. get what you want the first time and it will save $ in the long run

I lover millers but a 210 is way more than most people need....a 185 is more than enough, and it too can weld stainless, and all of that...

I was thinking about one of the lincoln welders from lowes. Most likely 110v. NYTRDR24 where did you get your gas for the welder from?

A 110 welder requires a 20 amp circuit.....and you can rent bottles from the local gas supply company.
