[QUOTE="inactive, post: 1880849, member: 7488"] I don't have much to add, as I don't weld, but my father does occasionally and he picked up one of the Lincoln 110v Mig welders as an open box pretty cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot. His advise was that if [B][I]you only use it rarely[/I][/B], the 110v was handier as you can use it more places (i.e. don't need the 220v outlet). It makes sense to me - to have something a bit more versatile that he can use at his house, my house, the back yard, etc. It's worked pretty well for him the last few years. Just something to consider. He also mentioned he wanted one with settings that were infinitely adjustable, meaning the the wire speed, etc. were on a smooth dial and not just a know with 6 clicks. I guess he had used those before and got frustrated with the speed he needed always being in-between settings. [/QUOTE]
