LT1driver,

The welding topic always brings up mixed views. In my book, both Lincoln and Miller are good equip. The only thing I would suggest, is to step up to 208/230 volt units. They give ya a bit more amps for the heavier metals. For my small mig, I have the Lincoln 155 and it has enough power to do just about anything around a small shop. Many guys have bought the 115 volt units and have kicked themselves for not going 220. Just thought you might want to know.

Craig ;)
