Thread: Welders?

I have a smaller 110 volt Hobart that works great. Good quality!

You are correct, Miller and Hobart are owned recently by the same parent company. My Brother Dan had a Hobart like this for years with good results. Here are the specs:
•Welds 24 ga. up to 3/8 in. mild steel in a single pass
•Operates on 115V or 230V input power
•7 voltage settings which help fine tune for precision welding (7 voltage settings at 230V; 4 voltage settings at 115V)
•115V 25 to 140 output amperage; 230V 25 to 210 output amperage
•Duty cycle - 115V 20% at 90 amps; 230V 30% at 150 amps
•Special choke design offers unbelievable arc characteristics on all metal types
•Quick change drive roll system - no tools required
•Dual groove drive rolls make it easy to switch between 023/.025 in. and .030-.035 in. wire
•Self-resetting thermal overload system protection with exterior LED
•Built-in contactor eases use and is an excellent safety feature which makes wire electrically "cold" when not welding
•Spool gun control circuitry for the optional SpoolRunner™ 100 direct plug-in spool gun which alleviates feeding problems with aluminum wire
•Manufacturers limited warranty
These are off of the Tractor Supply Website and they sell it for $899 as well. Looks like a Win Win for you and you do not have to worry about the guy who is 4 hours away with the Miller you discussed earlier. Good luck, this looks like a winner to me. Don Jr.
