Alright guys, I'm almost sure y'all can help steer me in the right direction! I'm in the market for a welder this winter for an x-mas present. The goal is 300-400 bucks, which I know is on the low end. I've used 115v Miller migs a few years back. Now, I'm most likely never going to surpass welding 3/8 in and most likely will be at 1/8th to 1/4in metal. I'm mostly going to be welding brackets for my truck. No intention now to be building roll cages, bumpers or welding the frame, as i don't trust my hand that much.
Right now, my garage only has yer standard 120v plugs, and don't want to pay to have a 220v line installed! Now, I'm not totally against it, as I'd love to have a Hobart 175. Now, what i was lookin at was this lincoln:
I know that Miller, Hobart and Lincoln tend to be good welders, but need some experts advise. I was looking at the Hobart 175 and I know it would weld all my possible needs, and i tend to enjoy nice tools, as well as ones that will last. Getting the 175 would manage me weasling this as a joint x-mas/21st bday present, and then get the 220line, and gas...
Anything you guys can help me with? Is there any good 115v welders that will get the job done close to my price range?
Thanks in advance!
Pete
