I never heard of bluepoint. I would stick with Lincoln, Hobart, and Miller. At least you'll be able to get parts and service.

Bluepoint was a Snap-on product line.

Most Blue Point welders were made by Century which in my opinion is not top of the line like the names Jim Bow mentioned.

crenwelge,

I agree with you..Century stuff is made in Hang Chow province while the rest are made 30 miles east in Fung Dow province, plus the case is a different color. wave
