Just read Mr. Milliman's thread about welders, and seek similar advice from fellow 'bolters. My Lincoln 225 is a beautiful tool, but way too hot for sheet metal. Am considering a Hobart 135 with gas tank. Is this a quality product ??

Holbart should be a good name brand welder. I have a SIP Migmate, made in England, good welder but impossible to get parts for. I'd reccomend sticking to name3 brands. smile

My little Lincoln Weld-Pac works fine for most light stuff. Don't get my model though. You can't put a stitch timer on it, which comes in handy doing body work. The Model 10 and 15 come with this capability though. If I was you, I'd get a machine that has 20-25 amps capability. Hobart usually makes pretty good equipment. Have you checked out the TIP website? Their welders are set up for doing bodywork - although they are unusually proud of their equipment. They could probably cut their prices in half and still not lose money selling them. http://www.tiptools.com/
Even though they are expensive, they have good quality equipment.
