    Get something 120/230v capable and get your garage wired for 230.

    I have the Hobart 210 MVP (multi voltage plug) so I can go back and forth from 120/230v

    Pretty cool.

    Yes that's the one I'm talking about! I really like it!

    Miller is Fantastic. They actually make Hobart. The Millers are just kinda pricey. But they really reflect the price. Great machines

    What about a Clarke? Never heard of them, but what I read they are British. Good deal near me too..

    Well, I think I'm going to decide between that Hobart MVP; Hobart Handler 140 or, the Lincoln weld pak 140. At some point in the next week.

    Mods are starting to require welding!

    Miller 211 is my suggestion. You'll be wanting to upgrade shortly if you buy just a 110v machine.

    I think those are all good choices man. It's really great to be able to weld stuff whenever you need to. Just finished my BAMF shock relocation. Needed the welder for that.

    The Miller 211 is an awesome Machine. I completely agree with this. Especially since you have 220v already hooked up at home it would be best to get something with 220 capabilities

    Damn, that thing isn't cheap!

    $1,149. The Hobart MVP is looking like the winner.

    That looks really good!

    That's one of the main reasons, I require a welder, and TC cam gussets...

    That's what I meant by Miller is great but expensive. That Miller 211 is sick! But it's not cheap. I think that you'd really like the Hobart 210

    I'm just thinking of all the possibilities!

    Hobart MVP 210 will most likely be the end choice.

    No idea why I looked at 110v, I just didn't want to get an extension for the 240v to move around the garage if I needed to.

    Hmm..

    One thing I do not know, MIG doesn't weld aluminum, correct? I need a TIG for that?

    Anyway I could fix a little aluminum tab for a fog light on my AP bumper?

    Haha oh yeah! So many possibilities! Cool man you'll like that welder. What you can do for aluminum is buy the "spool gun" attachment and you can weld aluminum that way.
