<VV> Welders

[Dennis Pleau]

I have a Lincoln 110V mig.  I've put a few rolls of flux core wire through
it and it works great.  I have the gas adapter but never got around to
buying a bottle.

Bryan,

I've personally used both the Hobart Handler 140 (~$500), and the Lincoln
Electric MIG 140 ($500+). Both are quite capable, but at the top of your
price range. No experience with the Miller, but if I'm not mistaken, Smitty
uses a Miller.

Speaking from experience, you want to stay with a recognized name brand. I
bought a Daytona MIG at Carlisle years ago, and when I needed parts, Daytona
MIG was no longer around. I cobbled some stuff together to extend the life
of the welder, but I'm looking for a replacement now. If I could only find a
Miller Multimatic 200 to try out.
