Lincoln Electric K2688-1 Sp-140t Mig Welder Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had a Lincoln Mig Welder for about 5 years now and it works perfectly. I've used up about a dozen or more rolls of welding wire and never had a single problem. I have welded some really bad metal (dirty, oily, rebar, etc) and it still did a great job. I have also talked to a few other people with Lincoln welders and they say the same thing, works great and no problems. Don't buy one of those off-brand welders and expect it to weld properly or last, spend a couple dollars more and buy one that will do the job. This is one tool that has more than paid for itself.

Miller 907335 Millermatic 140 Auto-Set Mig Welder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After years of having to drag any of my welding needs to work, I finally plunked down and bought this unit 2 yrs ago. I'm a fan of Miller products from way back, having cut my welding teeth on a Syncrowave 250 multiprocess machine, and using all Miller products at work from light gauge galv. steel MIG welding (Shopmaster 300 from the 80's, 2 yr old ShopMate 300DX), to running straight SMAW stick welding with a couple of DialArc 250s that range to the late 60's, early 70's. And in my shop environment these things get beat to hell, and little if any repair work has been needed. Miller machines seem to last forever.
That said, this little 120 volt MIG welder has some serious guts to it. It's more than light enough to travel with, and being 120V it can be used almost anywhere. I regularly run it on a 15amp circuit with no problems.
The 20% duty cycle is overly cautious - this machine doesn't quit. Doesn't cut off, either, just keeps going. Welded the doors shut on a demo derby vehicle - nonstop welds. It's insane.
The M-10 gun is smaller but is perfect with this machine. I would probably replace the ground clamp with something a little heavier duty, but thus far it's been fine for my usage. The wire feed motor is a bit on the louder side, but has no problem pushing 0.030" wire at full speed off of a ten lb spool. Spool changes are quick, which is a good thing, I seem to alternate back and forth between 0.023" and 0.030 all the time.
I haven't really had an opportunity to run the Auto-Set as much as I'd like to comment on it. It seems to work well, but I rarely use this machine to weld equal thickness steels. Example - welding 3/16 wall tubing to auto body sheetmetal to replace rocker panels on an off road Jeep.
If you need to do any kind of welding at home, this machine is excellent. And you can get replacement parts (tips, nozzles) at just about any weld supply shop.

Campbell Hausfeld WG2060 90 Amp MIG/Flux Versa-Arc Welder Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had just bought a lower priced model CH welder at Walmart the week prior when I saw this model here on Amazon. I was not looking for an upgraded model like this to weld Aluminum, etc. but the Amazon coupon offer (at the time) made it too temping.
The free shipping was very fast via FedEx ground and arrived well padded and perfect.
I tried it out on some scrap metal and it worked well. The tension control needs to be played with a bit to get a perfect feed but other than that it's great. The four heat settings make welding the right materials a snap. You don't need a 20A circuit per se, but to use heat setting 4 for any length of time you will.
I asked my cousin, aka Big Country (a senior welder), to give me his thoughts and he said it could not have been beat for the dollar and that it was "nice!"
