Dallas, I am looking at a wire feed welder also. I have seen the farm supply types, and was almost sold on the small Lincoln model but I went back to the industrial welding supply where I got my stick welder. I trust the guys there because they steered me right on the stick welder. Lincoln makes a small industrial wire welder that looks like the farm store type but has better windings, better wire drive, comes with the gas soleniod,longer duty cycle, etc. It sells for about $640.00. I also want to look at what Miller has, but I'm going to wait until I can buy the industrial model. I've been dis-appointed too many times by trying to save a buck and going with something that is "almost as good."
