I'm looking at the Lincoln power mig 140T for some light duty welding. Mostly for sheet metal and exhaust work. The heaviest I'd go is 3/16" thick. This thing will do aluminum as well with a spool gun. I don't have 220/230 volt outlets in my garage so this looks like the most powerful 110/120v out there.

There's a good sale on them right now so anyone have any feedback? I want to stay with one of the big 3.

I have a Lincoln 135T and I like it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it for a 120V welder.

I've been using a 110 mig since they first came out, worked on cars, pickups and motorcycles, its all I ever needed.

I bought another new mig 110 two years ago, but I went in with an open mind to look at millers and lincolns, the local welding supply sold both, and had both of them on the floor.

I asked him to show me the difference in the two welders, even if you have to drive a ways, its worth the comparison.

I'm not going to say which one is better, but I definitely would check the two of them out.

I've got the Pro-140, very good welder and everything I've needed to rebuild my 69. Welds good from 22G to 3/16 w/o gas. Make sure to get a cart at the same time!!
