I do autobody to race car chassis items. I was just going to get a Lincoln 140t but then I was thinking I do some heavier stuff so the 180 came to mind. I'm looking for a reliable all around mig welder that will last me the next 20yrs or so. We also do some 4x4 chassis stuff but not often.

Actually they do have parts available and a local service and sales place. You can buy just about everything to rebuild one of these welders if you choose. For me I want to be able to purchase new feed mechanism if it breaks. I've had issues with other welders in that place.

I'm looking to buy a decent hobby welder. I think I need a 220v 180 welder to cover everything I get into. I'm looking at a Lincoln 180t refurb for 650$ . I also see quite a bunch of other welders hitting the market now. Is the Lincoln a solid option or are there some of these more inexpensive...
