Re: MIG Welder decision

I'd get something that has the 220 option. You can always turn the welder down but you cant turn it up past its max setting. I know some people weld 3/16'' with a 110 but I wouldn't recommend it. You wont regret getting the bigger machine.

I have two helmets. I run a harbor freight one for my mig work. I have a Speedglas for my tig. Without a doubt the 3M helmet is nice but with the amount of out of position welding and slag I get from mig I don't want to mess up my view for my tig work.
