mig welders

#1 Post by shadetree » Fri Jun 29, 2007 6:31 am

I have an old Lincoln weldpack 100 mig.
I've been looking for a 220v, probably a Miller
even though my old lincoln was a good welder.

I'be got my eye on thier Millermatic DVI 2 #907323,
but they have a Millermatic 212 #907324
for a couple hundred more.

The DVI will run 110 or 220, just not sure the reliability on them.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I broke down and got the millermatic 252.
Wow is it nice, at least i have something i can't outgrow.

What size wire do you guys usually run?

I bought some .030, but some like .035 for
roll cages and stuff.
