<VV> Welders

[George Jones]

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.
