Re: Welder

Why does the Lincoln say it will weld up to 5/16 inch metal with 135 amp and the Hobart 140 only says it will weld 1/4 inch metal with 140 amp.....are the conservative in there claims or am I missing something

Also miller seems a little higher priced than lincoln or hobart what brand would you buy

I have had an HTP welder for over 10 yers now and never had a minutes trouble with it. When I looked at the time I bought it the Millers and such didn't seem as good for the price. That may have changed now. They advertise in the magazines, you might want to take a look.
