I have a 210 MVP, and love it! I do need to get a different lead, but the machine has never let me down!

I run a miller 211 at work and home. Dual voltage, any welding shop has parts, Fastenal is the cheapest for tips ar a $1 piece. The HF vulcans do have good reviews. The tig machine you can swap leads and torches out for better ones.
X2 spend the money!

Buy a good welder, you will NEVER be mad that you bought a good machine, but you will be mad a hundred times that you didn't! Save some money, or take a loan, you build enough stuff that you could pay it off in a reasonable time if you market right. And I'm not talking about going full bore, just here and there! Good luck. This! ^

A Lincoln is great answer !!! Pricy just like Miller. He wants inexpensive. Best one for budget is Hobart. They're proven and parts readily available, but still more than he wants to spend

Btw Miller makes Hobart. Their gun parts interchange. Correct, Hobarts are a great machine just lower quality control counter part of Miller company. Been machining the drive rollers, drive gears, and spindle shafts for Millers for a long time at the shop so I just choose to support Miller products.

I knew there was a reason for the price diff, and assumed what you said was why.

Tit The Titanium and Vulcan are supposed to be decent. I have a Titanium from Harbor Freight and a Hobart 180 and it seems I use the Titanium more. HF has a good warranty on the welders they sell
