I bought a new lincoln SP-125 plus, probably 8-10 years ago, for packing upstairs on the back deck to do final installations on railings. The little guy does okay in the shop, but I quickly noticed that electricians just can't see the merit in running a #12 wire with a 20 amp breaker upstairs to the back deck of any house. The little lincoln really doesn't like 15 amp breakers and #14 wire supply. I bought a Miller Bobcat portable with a Miller suitcase Mig set-up for it. The suitcase is real nice, even with the inconvienience of running cables from the Bobcat. I haven't used the little lincoln in over 5 years, I reckon I should take it to the next hammer-in and sell it for gas money.
