honestly though you couldnt give me a 220v microwire welder selling for
$500. welding equipment isnt an area where you want to cut corners.

Re: Body Work & Welders
Thanks for all the info and input! I'm not looking at the following:
Lincoln 135T or 175T (175T on sale for $600 CDN plus regulator and bottle)
Hobart 140 and 180 series.
I'm leaning towards the 175T ...about $850-$950 after I'm all done with
accessories/taxes. Double what I'd hoped to spend but from the sounds of it,
it's a pretty decent machine for a beginner doing bodywork on a rusted CJ
....unless anyone thinks this welder is a mistake? Also, how much of an
advantage is the 220V over the 110V ...is it worth the price difference
(about $150-200)?

Re: Body Work & Welders
I will give you one vote for the Lincoln 175T. Plenty big to weld auto
parts with, will be great for body and sheet metal work. Yes it is an
investment, and yes it is more than you wanted to spend originally, but with
this option you will have a useful tool that you will not soon outgrow. You
just can't get enough heat (amps) out of a little 110V welder for jeep / fab
type work. The 220V opens you up to take on those type of projects. That
price sounds like a good deal, is this from an online place or a local shop?

Find out if the 175T is refurbished for that price, that's a heck of a deal.
Nothing wrong with refurbished, same warranty etc. just nice to know up
front when comparing prices. I'm not positive about this (double check
before basing a decision), I think Miller/Hobart warranty work gets shipped
to the US while Lincoln is performed in Canada. This is not likely to be an
issue.
I'd rather spend $600 on a 175T than a 135Plus (around the same price).
