It's time to get myself a welding machine. I am not a welder by trade, but I have been welding what I needed using machines at work. Since I no longer work that option is over. I need suggestions on what machine to buy for my home garage. Would like to spend no more than $1000 for the machine and accesories.. The two below are easy to get, but I am open to sugestions.
I will run a dedicated power line to it, so 120 or 240 doesnt matter. I prefer to MIG weld using gas over flux core rod.
Home Depot has a Miller 180 for $669

Then there is Harbor Freight Vulcan brand MigMax 140 for $649.99
