Now that I have adequate power to my new shop, I'm thinking of adding an
AC/DC stick welder. The ones I'm looking at are (and the prices from
various local dealers):

Miller Thunderbolt XL 225/150 ($541)
Lincoln AC/DC 225/125 ($449)
Hobart Stickmate LX 235 AC/160 DC

Has anyone had experiences, good or bad, with any of these?

Thanks.

Jerry


I bought the Lincoln AC/DC from a guy locally using Craigslist.
Near new condition, and think I paid around $150 for it. Bargains are
out there if you have patience.
