I have been about to buy a good 110v mig for a couple months, but
spend too much time reading the web... Seems people find the Miller
135 or similar not 'hot' enough to weld thicker than 1/8" and too hot
for much sheet.

How do these alternate solutions compa

1. Braze the mapp/air for the sheet to 1/8" and an Arc for thicker?
Can that for $400.


2. Can a 220v mig like a Hobart Handler 180 go lower better for thin
than
a 110v machine? Obviously it can go 'hotter.' $650-700.
