Looking to buy a welder

What do you guys think of the Lincoln hd 3200?

I can pick it up at home depot for just under 400 dollars

 

I love mine, when i added gas it was great. Only downside is that its not super great on thick stuff (1/8) but still havent tried flux for the thick. Ever since i put gas i never went back.

 

Hmm says its good for up to 5/16th thick mild steel

 

I think the 5/16 is for flux core wire only. I also have the same welder and don't have any complaints. I have never used it without gas shielding, so I can't give you any opinions there. The little welding cart it comes with works great.

anyone else

 

Lincoln customer service sucks, if you ever have to deal with them in that manner, or getting the machine repaired. I have a Lincoln mig and it gets the job done.
