looking for a mig welder

Plasma cutters and welders are 2 completely different tools. I've used a few 110 volt plasma cutters with great results. I cant say the same for 110 welders.
Right now I'm using a Miller 251.(220 volt) For small sheet metal work I switch it over to .025" wire and it works flawlessly.
I just did the spring relocation on my car and it sure was nice to have as much heat as I wanted without a worry of taxing the machine.
Go for the bigger machine and a name brand too. One more thing, if you ever need customer assistance or repairs on your machine I know that both Miller and Lincoln are there for you. I dont know about the imports?
