220v welder

Post by Fraser »

I've had a 110v Lincoln MIG welder that has served me well for the last 20 years or so. I'm considering upgrading to a 220v unit. Any make/model recommendations based on experience?

Lincoln Powermig 180C. This unit has worked flawlessly. Has an all metal wire transport system that has never jammed. Amps and feed are fully adjustable and voltage is auto regulating to a point. Makes me look like a good welder.

I have a Hobart Ironman 230. It comes with casters/wheels, and a platform on the back to hold the Argon/CO2 tank.

I got it on sale at Farm and Fleet a year ago, I 100% happy with it. There is also room to set my Lincoln Pro-mig 140 on top of it.

Have had good luck with my millermatic 210. Probably overkill, but we have never needed to stop work to let it cool down. The Millermatic Autoset 212 looks like a good machine also. I think Praxair carries both miller and lincoln. Also looks like they now have their own brand (ProStar Avenger) might want to talk to Barding and see what the reviews and pricing is.
