Lincoln Welder?

I have been repairing welders for 18 years and run a Lincoln warranty shop. You would definitely be better stepping up to the Powermig 140. Lincolns standard warranty is 3 years on anything they make. This is a rebaged Century welder (Lincoln bought them a few years ago) That is why it only comes with a 1 year warranty. Again looking for a used one is also a good way to save some money though most that buy a good 110 v welder do not get rid of them too often. The prevoius SP 100, 125, 135 are very good welders also which when connnected to it's own dedicated outlet will do most anything you want without poping the breaker. One thing to remember is do not run one off of an extention cord unless it is a 10 guage or heavier. It will not perform they way it is desinged to and will shorten it's life.
