I am getting ready to buy a new MIG Welder and have some questions of the group. To date, I have only used two types of welders: the professional ones at the welding class I took a few years ago and

Actually, Hobart was an old welding-machine manufacturer bought by Miller about 10 years ago (as I recall). Miller now tends to sell similar models as Hobart, ofter with a feature or two left off fro

Sorry - let's try it in English this time... Miller now sells some of their models under the Hobart name, but the lesser-priced Hobart model ofter lacks a feature or two that the corresponding Mille

I wonder how true that is, that you can't buy parts for the cheap ones. Haven't tried with a welder, but I've had good luck with being able to source other parts from Harbor Freight. Nothing listed

FWIW, there are several models available that will work on either 220v (full power) or 110v (reduced power). Just another option to consider. Randall _______________________________________________

One point about Flux-core vs Gas: With the wire sizes used by 120 volt welders, you can weld stuff only up to about .100" thick. To do thicker stuff, you will have to switch over to flux-core. So if

But if you're going to do that, why not run 220v instead? The cost difference for the 4th wire is minimal, and with some welders you won't even need a 4th wire. Randall _____________________________

Thanks everyone for the great advice! Based on what I have seen here, I will probably go with the Hobart 140. My choices are not unlimited, as I am planning on using AmEx points to make the purchase.

You won't go wrong with a 110v Hobart Handler 140. I've had mine for 7+ years and it's great little machine. The only precaution I ever take is when welding long beads in heavy material, I put a box
