I ended up buying a new Millermatic 140 MIG for a great deal. Love the thing works great, by far the best quality welder I have used.

I'm thinkin about the Millermatic 140 also. Has it had enough power to weld up thicker material like 3/16 etc?

You should do some more research. Welders are rated as to what they can and can't weld.

The Miller 140 Autoset has a welding range of 24 gauge on the thin side and 3/16" MAXIMUM for a SINGLE pass... and that's MILD STEEL

This will handle almost everything a hot rodder will be doing.

I prefer a lot more capacity - because I've found that I use my stuff to build shop tools and fix other stuff... Once you can weld - and have the equipment - there's no reason to limit yourself.

I bought the Hobart Handler (many Miller components like the gun) and I'm very impressed so far...it's the 140 and it'll handle 1/4"
