Reply:They are both great welders, by all accounts. The Hobart (same under the skin as Miller Thunderbolt according to the Hobart engineers) has infinitely adjustable current and the Lincoln is tapped. The Hobart also has a higher advertised top end on DC. Do you prefer gray or red?Lincoln 175HD Miller AC/DC ThunderboltSmith AW1, Dillion (Henrob) Mark III, & Smith LittleTorch
