I am looking for a mig welder and the specs I am looking at are:
110
thin metal to 3/16 maybe
able to use spool gun on if I need too
looking for portable welder thats why the 110
I have others welders, but not too portable
I want to buy parts easy for it if needed so brand name
I would like a low price as I will not be using that often
lowest price at weld shop for Lincoln or Miller is over $750 without tank and spool gun
A 75/25 40cu/ft tank and filled is $146 and $21 for refill so not too bad on that straight Argon is almost the same price
I was looking at Hobart 140 for example, do not know anything about this one
I hear that box store name brands will work as they are almost as good as welder supply ones
I am just going to use at home since I am retired and on things like car body and hobby stuff
In my opion a hobby welder should not cost a $1000 for a setup
Any help would be helpfull to me or advice on different models
