Don't waste your time with 110-115v...

Buy a used lincoln or Miller that's 220v... You can find them for $300-$1000... And they'll kick that sorry little welders *** (For performance and reliability).

I second this. 20% duty cycle @ 88amps or whatever will really **** you off when welding anything over 1/8" really.
