Well, Dan, I ended up w/ a Miller 150. That model is the smallest 220 volt
model in their line and I think it's the best, at least for me. It is powerful
enough
to do heavier stuff like trailer hitches but can be dialed down for body panels.
I use straight CO2 instead of the CO2/Argon mix. It is considerably cheaper
and lays down a flatter bead which is better for body work. My welding
instructor told
me "Anyone can be a grinder--I'm trying to teach you to be a welder!"
That's my opinion and it's worth exactly what you paid for it!!
