Re: MIG Welder decision
It really depends on your future in welding with said welder. If you are dead set never going to weld above say 1/4" thick metal then I'd go with the mm141 or equivalent from Lincoln but if you think you might start welding thicker stuff I'm telling you the mm211 will be a good buy a three reasons.
Miller - name sells itself
Mm211 - highly sought after welder = resale value
Good welder - I own one it's a good welder and that's coming from a mig welder by trade
You cannot go wrong with the mm211 your in a situation of like buying a chainsaw which i have a funny story coinciding with a welder when I bought my last stihl I was talking to the salesmen saying I wish I would've bought a bigger chainsaw the first time he replied "The chainsaws that are on sale which are supposed to be good deals are the ones you don't want, buy the next one up". I thought about it and he was right lol same goes for a welder you can't use what you don't have.
I just built a 28' flatbed with it and after counting it up there was over 400 welds that I welded up in a 10hr span it gave me no troubles in terms of duty cycle. Buy bigger you won't regret it especially if you got the extra cash.
