no free shipping?

:rainbow:

well for the cost of shippin to my place, it was still $10 less than any other place that had free shipping, so call it what u want, i'll pay for the "shipping" if the total is still less

I have the 175. Good welder for the DYI on a budget. If you going to be dooing a LOT of work and in a buisness....get the Miller. If it's just for your garage at home. Good welders. Yes those are built by Miller but they are lower grade than the simular Miller. Drive for the wire is composit plastic where the Miller is all metal. Miller gets a variable power setting ect.
You didn't say what one you are getting but if you can get the 220. 110 welders tend to be a little light on power for doing stull like bumpers and skids.

yea, i'm gettin the 220 and its just for my garage here in college station, mostly light duty stuff, the major stuff i'm doin at home this summer where my dad has an arc and a 40x60 ft shop, i've got plenty of nice toys to play with there
