Reply:I so wouldn't recommend that thing. Hobart makes a sweet 210 for about that price, and one of the best mig machines ever made, the 187 for well under it. Even tho its been improved and is now called the 190...Anyway, if you really wanted to kick it up a notch, why not look up the Thermal Arc Fabricator 181i? If you really want an unknown, questionable quality MIG machine, pick it up at HF and pay 1/3 of that...JMHO...[Account Abandoned 8/8/16 Please Do Not Attempt Contact Or Expect A Reply].

Reply:You'd really want to go up at least one more class rating if you want to do 3/8" steel. You want a machine in the 200-210 amp class minimum if not higher. The HH190 tops out at about 1/4".For that money, you can get a MM211 from Cyberweld, or for a bit less get Hobarts version the HH210MVP. A better unit for just a bit more would be the Hobart Ironman 230 from Cyberweld.http://store.cyberweld.com/migwelders.htmlThat's not that great a deal on that Craftsman either Northern Tool has the same one for $800 I believe....No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size.
