All-

    My uncle is going to loan me his Lincoln stick welder to build the =

legs on my new bench, etc. so there's no rush. I've seen tons of owner =

reviews on other welders. Once again, I'm looking for reviews of the HF =

models. Good, bad, or go for something else. I'm looking at a purchase =

I'll have to live with for a long time. All input appreciated.

                                                    Bill

Hey Bill...

It was years ago that I bought a HF welder and sent it back due to makin=

g low quality welds. I have also worn out a Daytona Mig welder that was =

better at welding sheet metal rather than heavey stuff. I now have a Mil=

ler 135 amp welder that works beautiful. It is 220 volt which helps make=

 better welds. The Lincoln welders of the same size are very much the sa=

me. It depends on if you like blue or red...    Once you have spent the =

extra money for a quality machine, it will be money well spent.

HF welders could be better now, but as with most all of there tools, you=

 get what you pay for. =

Bill,

If you have the perspective of wanting a good welder for service life, 

I'd recommend you look

at the Miller line, specifically the EconoTIG.  It's got a good range, 

capacity and is based on

a good design.  I believe it replaces or is equal to the Syncrowave 180 

that I use. I really like

that machine for all round welding AC-DC and TIG.
