View Full Version : harbor freight mig-110
anyone have any thoughts on this thing? will i regret spending $119.99 on it for light jobs? i use a 220v arc for my structural stuff, but i don't have a mig for doing thin steel. it's only going to see occasional use for the most part.

Got it at my work, it's a POS. I can't seem to ever get it to burn right. Can't control wire speed very well.

what harbor freight item don't you have to mess with out of the box? i had to glue the rubber bands back onto the wheels on my hf portaband after about 5 minutes of use. :rolleyes: let me know if it keeps working out for you. i guess i'll wait on some more feedback until i totally rule it out. thanks.

I got one a few months back, you can take it back for a full refund within 30 days, which I did. But go get it and see if you can get it to work half decent, I couldn't.
