Yup, Lincoln and Miller ( and whoever else ) have those little 110v migs. Great for sheet metal. But if you plan on frame work or hitches or whatever thicker steel work, those little machines won't cut it. The Miller 220 is a nice all around machine, but you won't find it at a big box store. It's best to find a local welding supply for a decent machine. Just like you can find Delta table saws all day long at a big box store. But you won't find too many Unisaws for sale there.
