MrShoeBoy said:My school has an old school stick welder that requires you to "patch" the leads in order to change settings. Its so old its got iron wheels We have yet to find something it cant burn through, highest amp setting is 250A but we think its under rated and has more amps than it claims. Its nicknamed the "hot glue gun". We just got a Miller 210 wire feed with gas. It works great for us in the shop, theatrical set construction which ranges from 14 gauge up to 1/4" and 3/8" thick material.
At home I have a Miller 175 with gas. It works great and I think its the perfect size for the majority of us Jeepers. It will handle pretty much everything you will weld on a Jeep and as mentioned above its not that hard to move around and can had for less than $1000.
The shop I worked at last summer and also going to be working at this summer has 2 Daytona Mig 175 machines with gas for steel and a Lincoln 210 with gas and spool gun for aluminum. Both machines do great and would be good for Jeep use
