What are you welding with?
miller mig 140, 40yrs old, and still welds great,
for remote/ fencing/light weight. I bought a "yes" mig/tig welder, 250A/ -110/220
dog gone , that thing welds good! trouble free, gasless. and can carry it anywhere, and run it off
my generator, (doing fences, couple miles from nearest 110v outlet)
