Ive been using a Lincoln weld pak 100 (110V)
w/ no probs for 6+ yrs.
the 110 V makes it easy to use anywhere as long
as you have a 20 amp service.
I normally weld stainless, alum. and steel.
if your going to weld stainless get "SS pulse"
gas as it works better than straight Argon in
sm. machines.
if you intend to do long job (2-3+ hrs.) welding
then put another pocket fan in the trnsformer side
and the % duty rating is increased.
