I splurged today and bought a Miller millermatic 135 115v mig welder. I've wanted one for so long and now I got one!

Anyways, what kind of welder do you have? Do you like it?

 

I just researched it since I was thinking of getting a welding machine also.



Yours cost a lot of dinero!!



Around $500 right?

yeah, about that ($549). Where did you do your research? I think I might have over paid a little but now I'm in good with the local welder supplier. He gave me a 10% discount on everything else I bought from him.

The way I see it is you might as well buy the best welder you can afford because it's going to be with your for a long time. I had to get a 110v welder because I don't have 220v out in the garage and don't feel like welding in the laundy room I think for the regular guys garage you don't really need anything more than a good 110v welder anyways. Now if you have a big shop and you are welding all day long on thick material a 220v might be the way to go.

 

I have the Lincoln SP125. 110 V Argon gas Ultra Mix w/ Harris regulator.



Also an old Craftsman arc welder from my Dad, for the big stuff.

I have a Hobart Handler 135. Picked it up off Northern Tool for 399, free shipping and 6 months no interest.

I have 3 Gas Bottles: Tri-Mix for SS, 90/10 for body work and Argon for Aluminum.



I am getting a TIG machine this summer, probably an inverter type machine.

 

PS, miller and Hobart are all owned by the same Company now.

 

Im going to be going in on home welder with my dad pretty soon, I don't know the specs, but he has several nice ones at his work.
