.....Just for fixin' stuff etc....

Yeah right. If i can pass on an advice, get a real machine (no need to be expensive) but at least a 220v adjustable/gas mig, (not the 110v flux ones). You won't regret it down the road.

I did this and you will fast find out you reached the limit of what you tought you we're planning...

Think twice, buy once.

Just my 2¢,

Lead.

I was at a pawn shop today and there were 4 there, might want to check one out locally.

Here's where I bought mine from. I bought the SP-100T model and have welded up to 3/16" steel with no problem. Works great for all the bodywork I've been doing.

I'm looking at buying the Millermatic 211 w/ Auto-set & MVP (interchangable plugs 110/220). Anyone use any of the auto-set welders from Miller. Any + or - about them?

I have a 180 Autoset. It's one of the best welders I've used to date. I will say the autoset is hit and miss on really thin sheet metal, but for anything else it's fantastic.
