 A good 110/115v MIG welder
Hey folks,
I am really starting to consider getting a little 110/115v MIG. My little HF piece of xxxx buzz box is just not working out too well for me, so I think its time for an upgrade. In the past I have used a little hobart 115v MIG that worked very well, and would run up to about 1/4" thick material. I don't have 220v power in the shop, or I would just go with a nice big millermatic 210 or something of the sort. Plus, it is really handy to have a smaller welder that you can throw in the back of the truck and take places that don't necessarily have 220v access. Someday when the shop gets upgraded I will beef up the power and get some better welding equipment, but thats a long ways off and definately need something in the interim.
So I was hoping some of you who have used a number of these little 115v MIGs could steer me towards a good one. Something that performs well (though I am completly aware of 115v limitations), and holds up well. And to clarify, I am after MIG w/shielding gas, not a sole flux core. Like I mentioned, my only experience was with a little Hobart, think it was the 140 model, and it seemed to work pretty darn good for running off 115v. But I wonder if there are better little MIGs out there.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Graham
