Good 110 welders.

[Buffalo Phil]

I want a good 110 welder, a small welder that can be transported and one that I don't have to rewire my garage or my house in order to use.

It's a simply concept. The things I want welded aren't big, in fact the things I wish to weld are things I would normally stick weld with Oxy-acetylene, so I don't need a 220 or a 440 welder.

So here is a novel idea: Don't suggest a 220 welder, dont try and convince me to get a 220 welder, in fact dont even talk about 220 welders, unless of course you will come to my house, free of charge, and install a 220 plug in full operating condition in my garage.

MIG also, no flux core. Miller? Lincoln? New, used?

School me up and down on a nice 110 welder.

I just got a Lincoln electric from Home depot, it a 140 amp it works pretty good but I suck at welding, so yeah.

get a 220 miller lincoln hobart are all good companies i think a decent 110 can be had for around 500 new, i just saw a few decent ones on craigslist for 300 to 400

I'm droppin some coin on a 180 amp lincoln from ABCo, they work out a real nice package when you buy a welder through them. Not only do you get a higher grade welder than the scaled down models they sell at home depot and lowes, but i got my tank for half price (because i refuse to run that flux cored shit), the first fill up was free, and they gave me an extra large spool of wire for free too.

Plus if something broke i'd much rather deal with their warranty/replacement/service than with somewhere like home depot, lowes, or some internet order place.

the cool thing about most of the models they carry too is that even the smaller 140 amp and 180 amp models that run on a 110 have adapters and adjustment settings so you could use them on a 220 as well. personally i like TIG the best, but they are too expensive and a good quality MIG can be just as good.

Really can't go wrong with Miller, Lincoln, or Hobart. I know a few people on here have gone down to Tractor Supply and picked up a Hobart 140 for fairly cheap brand new.

I personally would look around on craigslist, because if you ever decide to sell it for a larger machine down the road, you aren't going to get anywhere close to what you paid new.

Stick to name Brand- Miller, Hobart which is Miller, Lincoln, stay away from no-name knock off junk like Astro etc. As for Used machines, look it over real good, if it looks clean, was taken care of, test it out. I prefer to purchase something like this New though, unless you know who your buying from. Indiana Oxygen Company on Ebay is a good seller with good prices, free shipping on most machines and they have good deals!

Oh yea I forgot that.

If you buy used, make sure you run it through all the settings before you buy it.

best bang for your buck in a 110 package is a hobart 140 amp

i got mine refurbished for around 4 change. couldnt even tell it was ever used.

X2 on the hobart 140
I have the 135 the older version going on 8 years of abuse with no issues.

You need a good plug to get enough power your welder can only us as much amps as it can get out of the wall. Thick extension cord or no extension is even better.
I've brought my welder to peoples houses and it welds like crap it is like having it on power 1 when it is on max.

If you have the coin buy this one

Battery powered you won't need to rewire your garage to get good penetration and you can always bring it on the trails.

Or just go with the battery powered ready welder, flux core but enough power and you can take it on the trail. Buy a big welder down the road.

I should ask my buddy what his dad has. It plugs in to a standard outlet so I'm going to guess its 110, but I don't really know. However, its a pretty nice welder (except I can't weld while under a vehicle, I really need to work on that).
