[QUOTE="ridefast, post: 607463, member: 10033"] Need some advice regarding new welder purchase please. Currently using Hobart140, love it, it has always treated me well, but I am getting into bigger projects and need the amperage. I'm going to get either the Eastwood Mig175 or Eastwood Mig250. Main question, is the 60% duty cycle worth the extra cost of the 250? Alternatively, with the added benefit of being able to burn thicker material, AND being able to run off 120v should I need to take the machine on the road with me, is there any real reason to consider the 175? The 175 comes with a spool gun, but I really don't see doing much aluminum work, plus it can always be added to the 250 down the road. Thoughts, opinions? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
