.....Just for fixin' stuff etc....

Yeah right. If i can pass on an advice, get a real machine (no need to be expensive) but at least a 220v adjustable/gas mig, (not the 110v flux ones). You won't regret it down the road.

I did this and you will fast find out you reached the limit of what you tought you we're planning...

Think twice, buy once.

Just my 2¢,

Lead.

Here's where I bought mine from. I bought the SP-100T model and have welded up to 3/16" steel with no problem. Works great for all the bodywork I've been doing.

I ended up buying a new Millermatic 140 MIG for a great deal. Love the thing works great, by far the best quality welder I have used.

I'm thinkin about the Millermatic 140 also. Has it had enough power to weld up thicker material like 3/16 etc?
