Default New MIG welder! Hobart Handler 210MP
I just picked up a new welder to replace my old Lincoln 175. Man this new one is really freaking nice!!!! It is very easy to use and puts down some nice welds! My old one must be really wore out. I am really happy with it! It is alot bigger size wise than my old one, it barely fits in my cart. Also the fans on it really move some air.

First try welding 3/16. I am not the best welder so be gentle, i stopped mid stream because i wanted to look at it.

What did that set you back? I have been looking at them but need to get a couple other things first.

But it was $300 cheaper than the Miller 211

It is a multi plug so either 110 or 220! That 3-16 weld was on 220

Also it appears the regulator feed has a solenoid internal because i have the bottle turned off and it is still hold pressure. It has been like that for about 3 hours. Very nice because with my old welder i left the bottle open and it emptied it overnight
