I did a little research already and was thinking of getting a Lincoln 140c. I'm going too use it when replacing rear quarter panels on my civic.
But before I buy one, wouldn't mind hearing a diff. opinion?

 

I like my Lincoln hd mig welder I got at homedepot, just get gas

 

lincoln sells direct on ebay. their refurbs run around 399 for a 125 or whatever model was pre 140.

if you want to spend more i like the millers the most but lincoln and hobart have the best deals,

 

I've had a lincoln 3200hd for a few years, never let me down and works good. And I agree about getting gas

 

The Hobart 140 mig I had was great.

 

dont buy a harbor frieght lol
i like lincoln and hobart

 

lol. yea harbor freight welders suck. lincoln is good. hobart is made by miller, which are good also

 

hobart and miller are the same when i bought mine at TSC it had miller instrustions and a miller gun on it lol

 

i got a lincoln and i love it. i got a used one for pretty cheap.

 

i just picked up a brand new miller 211mvp. it is the nicest small mig welder i have ever used. i usually use a miller xmt 350 day in and day out & the qualty of the 211 is up there with it. i was a bit skeptical about buying a smaller welder cause we have a miller 140 in our shop that my boss bought new about 2 years ago. we have had nothing but problems with the wire feed being super jerky, & you can never get a decent bead going with it. i guess you should probably see if you can demo a few units & see what you like best.

 

thanks you guys, so I've reading online about the welder Capabilities and it's saying it can weld aluminum up to 12ga if you buy spool gun for it. I really never seen anyone weld aluminum with dc current? but then again I'm not sure that's way I'm asking

 

ya the 110 should be perfect for quarters.... Thats what I bought to do body work on my lude. Cheers!

 

Get the Lincoln hd3200 it's perfect well so far for me it's good

 

You should try checking out Craigslist. I've been searching for a Miller, but Ive seen a lot of the Lincolns go for $150-200 used.

 

I've had great luck with my Lincoln Pro Mig 135 for years and years. I actually just picked up, about 8 months ago, a brand new Lincoln 216 power mig 220v unit that beats the pants off of my old miller also. I've seen/had great success with many brands though too. Just research and don't be afraid to let the sellers know you're looking at other models elsewhere too! They'll cut you a deal if they know you're a serious buyer and buying new.
