    Lincoln it is, I ordered a Power Mig 140C Today...I couldn't help myself....Under $550 at the welding supplier, Millers were $700+ everywhere else I went today...

    I got my new machine today...if I didn't stay up till 1 am watching the race last night, I'd be out in the garage welding everything I could fine. Man, what a difference a quality machine makes. Not that my 25+ year old Miller wasn't quality...but my new Lincoln is amazing!!!

    Kind of late now, but Hobart is the consumer brand of Miller. We have three Millers. One is a stick welder built in 40's and still works hundy dunky. If you want a Miller, but like the price of the Lincoln, buy the Hobart.

    I looked at Hobart, they are all pretty much the same. I went with a "continuous" control for the heat. Plus the Lincoln has a spot timer, or making spot welds.
