- I saw an ad from Eastwood announcing a new MIG welder: http://www.eastwood.com/mig-welder-110vac-135a-output.html The interesting thing is, both outside and inside, it looks exactly like a Lincoln m

- Which Lincoln model? Lincoln's website lists a 140A unit as their smallest, and it doesn't look at all like the Eastwood. Lincoln or not, that's a pretty good price for a small MIG with continuous--n

- It's a chinese copy of the Lincoln. (I don't know where lincoln builds their low end welders these days, for a while they were built in Mexico. Don't know if they still are. It could well come out of

- So if I understand correctly Dave, you don't think that this Eastwood model is worth $300 (more like $350+ with shipping)? And I can most likely find a small MIG for less? Thanks Tim It's a chinese c

- That's just a general comment on Eastwood's pricing. I haven't paid attention to the market for small migs. I do know there is at least one chinese company making copies of lincoln welders, probably

- I don't know about the welder as both my MIG and TIG are Lincoln, I want to get parts TODAY when I need them, not have to order them and wait to weld that broken whatever on my car. And before it sou

- What actually caught me eye about the Eastwood welder was the infinitely variable power adjustment. That is rare in cheaper units. One thing I am still waiting to see is a inverter MIG machine. Doug

- Mostly because Lincoln and miller use it as a selling point between the machines available in retail markets and the otherwise identical machines that sell for hundreds more at welding suppliers. The
