[QUOTE="CrossJ, post: 1880494, member: 9685"] All of the smaller mig welders have a short duty cycle. Your looking at 20% to 30% in most machines under 200a. Truthfully, this is not a big problem; if it is, you need a bigger machine. Cyber, I would recommend the miller 140. I weld for a living, and prefer blue machines. There is nothing wrong with lincoln though, especially in the smaller machines. First thing to do is check out your local weld supply store, see what they carry. You will want easy access to consumibles. Talk to them about bottle leasing also, because as has been said, you will want to use a smooth gas sheilded wire for most applications. Fluxcore has its uses too, so keeping a spool of fc wire handy will proove handy. Maintain [/QUOTE]
