Several years ago I bought a Lincoln 225 Tombstone from a friend .

Up til now I've relied on the little 110v Lincoln Weldpak 100 . But
there have been times lately when a little more power would have
been nice ... and now I have it !

Ive got one of t hose little Lincolns..and for certain things..they
certainly are damned hard to beat. But they just dont do rough work
very well, or thicker materials. 1/4" is about where I start reaching
for one of the bigger machines if Im not at the welding table

I was having penetration problems with the 110 unit welding 11ga 1" square
using .025 ER70S6/CO2 . .035 flux core was better, but still not optimum ...
next AC cage I'll try the stick machine .
A 220v MIG machine would be nice , but that just ain't in the budget for
now .
