Lincoln Welder?

You may not lie the autoset. I get a lot of them in the shop because people canno get the setting where they want them and think something is wrong. I would agreee that Lincoln has come out with this home user crap that they sell at Lowes and Home depot but if you go the a welding supplier they carry the pro models (powermig series) that are just as good quality wise as the Miller. The flux core wire is good for ding farm type jobs, traier welding ect. It does not give a pretty weld and will remind you more of stick welding with a slag that needs to be removed along with a ton of splatter. The gas shied will give you that pretty -out of the box weld. Also you will be able to get a smaller diameter wire (.023 or .025 depending onthe manufacturer) that is better for the beginner to do sheet metal work. One thing to remember- if you pick up a used Lincoln- They did sell them with or without the gas set up but the conversion kit will run you $100 plus the bottle.
