Find a Miller 175 or Lincoln and dont look back. Youll only have to buy it once.

FWIW I have a Lincoln SP100, ESAB 253, 300amp Miller TIG and a 320amp LINDE 3-phase welder. Each have their place but the big LINDE will weld sheet metal better than the 110 LINCOLN.

Those 110 lincolns don't have variable controls. But I'm pretty sure the newer ones do, plus Lincoln had a plastic drive wheel for sure three years ago.
