[QUOTE="Parks 788, post: 4259167, member: 14646"] I'll give you my novice welding experience. Novice but still real life legitimate experience. 20 years ago I bought a Lincoln Sp135 Mig welder. Super happy with it. I believe it technically will weld up to 5/16" steel. I've fabbed some 1/4" and turned it up hot and seemed to get good welds. It does/is capable of doing 75% of what I'd like to get done. Have done a ton of projects over the years. That being said, I wish I'd have spend more on a welder capable of doing at least 3/8' plate and a multi process welder. Miller and Lincoln make good machines but to save a little money and still get a good machine for your shop you could look at Hobart. I'm not in the market at this time but if I was I'd be looking at something in the class of the Miller Multimatic 215. With that you can expect to spend in the nighborhood of $2500. [/QUOTE]
