I am looking at a Lincoln 135 Mig from a local place. $399 plus 175 for the tank with gas. The guy said I could weld 1/4 with it in one pass. I am a new guy has taken classes on mig. I am a landscaper so looking to do smaller jobs with it but want to be able to weld 1/4 max. Anybody have this machine or have input? Thanks

Reply:im assuming its one of their tapped settings machines (pro-mig,weldpak,sp135t) and id suggest looking into the "sp plus" series machines with the continuous adjustments (for another $100 or so). 1/4" in one pass is a bit much. if you have access to 220v look into the 175amp sp175plus its got enough power for most if not all the jobs you would normally come across in a landscape environment.i personally have the sp135plus and i work in a small engine shop, so i assume most of the jobs that come my way are similar or the same as the ones youll encounter. i chose the 135 amp because i can use it about anywhere, and with multiple passes i can get just about anything i encounter done.

Reply:Howdy Howdy! the hobart machines are not junk. even the reconditioned ones are decent, especially so, because they've been gone through thoroughly. In my mind, it is better to have a recon hobart 175, then a new Lincoln135. I myself do not own any hobarts, but I do own lincolns and a century. so my suggestion is in no way name biassed on name alone. brian Lee Sparkeee27
Reply:Originally Posted by Seaside L&PSI have 220 in my shop but I liked using 120 so I can use it at my house and seems to be a better deal. I think it was the 135T.I looked at the Hobart 175 from tool king and it seemed like a low price and might be junk. But I am new and unsure.How much did you pay for the 135plus if you don't mind me asking and where did you get it from. They had the Lincoln 175 there as well but the sales man said he didn't see the point in going to the 175 not much more gains. I am new and would just like a machine that I can get better on and then upgrade. I have taken a few classes and haven't done much since but want something that I can build stuff with.Thanks for the input!
Reply:+1 DanI bought the 135 for similar reasons of 120V. I am now wiring in 220 outlets in the garage and looking to upgrade. I will keep the 135 for thin sheetmetal.I was welding 1/8" angle with it and while it did accomplish the task it was not ideal. I would not even consider doing 1/4" without multipple passes Steven
Reply:Thanks guys for the input, didn't want to waste money or have regrets. How much is the Lincoln 175? I can get the hobart 175 recon for $450Thanks again |
