MIG Welding Machine

This site usually has good prices. I bought a full bottle of C25 from them and it came to my door like 3 days later.

Also, Northern Tool's line of welders is called "Klutch," they have a multi-process machine that's like the 220i or something. It will do MIG(and Flux Core, of course), Stick, and TIG. Very affordable and actually has decent reviews.

I was about to buy one when a co-worker sold me his Millermatic 185 instead.

I was looking at those Klutch machines earlier. Heard anything good or bad about them?

I just googled this.
Miller Electric Mfg. Co now owns Hobart. The two welders are not the same however. Hobart is a less expensive budget welder. Miller welders are still high end professional equipment you have to buy from a Welding Supply.
My guess is a Hobart will still be a step up from the lincoln

Hmm, that's interesting. I was seeing good things about Hobart, may have to look more into that!

I would reccomend you get a 220V unit over a 120V. Unless you have a dedicated circuit for a 120 V they lack b alls.

I bought a Hobart 210 MVP and I run shielding gas. It will handle anything I will ever do. Get ready to start buying a lot of metal. I build all kinds of crap I really don't need. Now things I used to build out of wood are now steel and will last forever.

Don't buy too much into that BS. Hobart makes a good machine for what you are looking for.

Hobart 210 is my vote. It's both 110/220 rated, so with a small adapter you can run either or. I also have a Hobart 140 that never sees use anymore. It's a great machine for a dedicated 110, and gas makes it even better. The 210 is a much better home machine though. It allows you to connect to a 220 feed when you're looking for better penetration on thicker materials. I've built quite a bit on both of my machines so far. I also have a a Hypertherm PowerMax30 110/220 plasma cutter. Teamed together they make almost any home project a breeze.
