But as usual i have a question!!!
I am looking at a MIG welder.
No 220V available.
Does anyone have any insight into using a 110V welder and what the results are?
There are too many mixed reviews out there...
A friend has a Millermatic that can weld anything and it is sweet to use.
He also swears by it but i don't have close on $4000 to spend on an occasional use welder...

Andrew,
You don't need to spend anywhere near $4000 to get a 110V welder. Here are some links to a Millermatic 140 and the bottom link is to a Hobart 140. Both welders are made by the same company. The Miller brand is the more industrial brand and the Hobart is the lower end for light industrial and hobby use. I got a Millermatic 180 but I suck at welding so can't give you a review of Miller products other than the fact that it seems to be universally agreed that Miller is one of the better brands out there, amongst others.
