Miller, Lincoln, Hobart... mig welder.

Both my father and myself have the older 175 Hobart machines and they have been very reliable over the years. I would highly reccomend the Hobart machine to the home hobbiest. I believe the new models are up to 180 or so amps as well. My friend has the 220 volt Lincoln and its nice to weld with as well. It has a smaller nozzle on it so it will fit in tight spaces. I don't like that the nozzle is a screw on though, I'm used to the push on one that the Hobart has. I think you will be good with any of the machines you have mentioned, just stick to a 220v power source and you will be golden, good luck.

i just bought a lincoln 175 i think its pretty bada** i thought about miller but it was a quick decision and im happy , my brother works at a steel mill and they only buy lincoln stuff for thick ass metal and heavy machinery and never have any problems

i have a miller 175 & it kicks ass, you need at least a 30% duty cylce & would go higher if your doing a lot of fab, hobart has smaller internal wiring but made by miller, lincoln is same quality as miller so just ask your self do you like blue or red...

i actually was going to powder coat mine with that chrome stuff lol
