An excellent welder for autobody is the Lincoln SP125 plus, may be
SP135plus now, with continuously variable heat setting. If you visit
a restoration or custom body shop, that's what you'll see at the
workstations.

Ayup..basiclly an updated and improved Weldpak.

Good stuff and check ebay for used ones.


They look similar, but does the Weldpak have continuously adjustable
heat (voltage) vs a 4-position switch?

I think the Weldpak line was/is a consumer "fighting model" sold thru
outlets like Northern and HD. I would not assume that it works as
well as an SP135 Plus for autobody. I also wouldn't assume that it
doesn't; try before buy if possible.
