What do you think of the Lincoln Electric 145amp mig welder sold by Home Depot? Received gift cards as gifts and this one looks like a good option in my budget (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif)

If you read my entire EG33 build thread, 99.9% of the welds done in my shop are with the same unit your looking at.
The other 0.1% was with an Eastwood TIG. @MB911 I got all excited about the possibility of dropping to one machine, until I found out the MP210 is a DC only TIG, so no Aluminum. But if I did not want to get into welding AL, I would go with the MP210 Congrats on the certification, that is a tough one to pickup. |

I am actually the one giving the certs so even tougher @914forme .. I think miller has an all in one with AC but the beta tests I saw recently had 10 units delivered and all 10 needed new boards within the 1st week and most were never turned on and they discovered the issues. Just an FYI @914forme https://www.cullmantimes.com/news/wallace-s...ba06ba55a1.html |
