Apologies if this has been covered ad nausem. If so please link me over. I would like to pick up a 220V welder...but also need to but it on 110. So that leaves me the Hobart 210, Miller 2100, and a Lincoln 210MP. What would you do and why? Any of them more American than the others? Any reason to look outside those brands?Last edited by LarryLarry; 02-08-2015 at 09:58 PM.
Reply:There has been a couple postings on this within the last couple of days, Farm and Fleet had the Hobart 210 for $794.00, today was the end of sale.http://www.farmandfleet.com/products...l#.VNgj9_nF_T8 I don't know if it is still available online.
Reply:That sale comes up regularly. I got one six months ago from them. I have been happy with the Hobart 210MVP as a hobbyist. I've run some 3/8" steel with good results, and lots of 1/8".
Reply:From my expierence the Hobart machines are very durable. I purchased the HH175 14 years ago and just sold it recently to purchase the Lincoln MP210. The Lincoln so far seems to be a good machine but time will be the judge. I must admit i got caught up in all the multi process hype. It really comes down to determining what you REALLY need. For me i can mig weld 99% of my projects. With that being said i now wish i had purchased the Lincoln 216. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. I know that sounds like a cop out but thats what you get when you listen to the ramblings of an old man.
Reply:I wish I had purchased that Hobart 210 from Blains Farm and Fleet. Its not $100 more expensive so I definitely won't be getting it. If it ever drops again I'll be on it. Looks like the ideal machine for me as long as its purchased on sale |
