Looking for a dual voltage welder and if it can run on a 6k generator that's a bonus.
MM211: Was looking at the MM211 but saw several online posts where the board fried due to shop dust or just gave up the ghost.
Lincoln 210 and 180: Look like they might be the only real options around me.
I'm in Hawaii (Oahu) so no Harbor Freight and the used market (facebook, craigslist, etc.) are showing stupid prices for abused welders or basically new...including the price.
This leaves me with HD, Lowes, etc.
I'd like to MIG out the gate and TIG (AC/DC) later on as my skills increase; will use flux for most and gas later on.
Use is for my jeep build and around the house repairs like thin metal baker's rack.
So this means thin and up to 3/8s.
Not a pro by any measure but has to be durable and reliable.
Budget is around a $1,000
