Okay that works too. I thinking it might be worth making a new thread since the topic has changed from "what do I buy?" to "here's what I bought and what I'm doing with it". I suppose you're right though. Thanks for the advice. Will do.

I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to be waking up this old thread, but I just thought I should share - I bought a Mig Welder!!! I bought a Hobart 210 MVP. I love it. Attached picture is of my "temporary welding cart" that I used to do some exhaust work. My new cart isn't finished yet. Will likely...

I am planning on making aluminum battery boxes. And potentially an aluminum floor for the M1009. If I did my floor, I would do it in 1/8" or thicker aluminum with fully boxed steel supports sealed on the ends (to be virtually rust proofed). Thinner aluminum would probably change shape (sag) when...

Yes, the plan with the spoolgun is to make battery boxes and rust-proofed floors. 1/8" or thicker material for both jobs. I would like to get into TIG eventually, but it's just not in the cards moneywise right now. I wish I had the means for a millermatic 250 series machine. However I don't...

I appreciate the input on staying away from hobby stuff, but I think these are fairly serious "hobbyist" welders. They're obviously not intended for an assembly line, but not really tinker-toys either. I have seen Miller 211's (fraternal twin of the HH210) in a body shop (although in your...

I looked at Multiplaz.com and the website seemed rather poorly done and hard to understand. I couldn't find a list of models and specs. Sorry. (Just wanted to put it out there that I did infact look and I do value the input here). I have heard good things about the thermalarc's too.. but as far...

Which inverter welder do you have? I've heard good things about them too.. but portability is not such a big deal to me. I like the "hobbyist" form factor for their price more than anything. And although electronics have come a long way, I still think that there is much less to go wrong with a...

Just to clarify to anyone who reads this in the future and may not know, the Hobart 187 that DeuceNut has is virtually the same as a Hobart 190 (same transformer) except that they aren't made anymore and never had an easy way to add a spoolgun. Thank you guys.

Hey friends, This isn't strictly MV related but you guys always have all the answers and if you help me out I promise I'll use it to work on my CUCV first, haha. I want a Mig welder (with a spoolgun option) for my home shop. I have 240 volt single phase power. I used to use a Lincoln PowerMig...
