Two of my friends just bought Miller 211's. I've used them a bit and they're great - it's nice to know that some one has an alternative when I get tired of stick welding or my 110v wire feed isn't enough :D

Craftsman 120v mig. It will weld up to 1/4" plate on a double pass.

My dad has a gas powered stick welder.

I like it. I learned to weld with it and it works great for what I need right now.
Same one i got. I welded together both my bumpers that are made of 3/16 and i think it done a pretty good job. the front bumper has my 8500lb winch sitting on it too and the bumper hasnt tweaked or let go yet.



and it doesnt look too bad for flux core.


for stick welding i got a miller thunderbolt 220v. its awesome

I have a 140 amp mig welder from Harbor Freight. I am super impressed with it! It's pretty easy to make a good weld with it.

My first welder just arrived a simadre CT-520D. Took me a while to figure out the plasma torch needed to be grounded..im new to welding take it easy lol. and after a little bit of google research I was able to get the 220v plug wired up. I can melt the crap outa metal..today was just fun mess around day, ill start learning tomorrow. I cut a bunch of things with the plasma torch so I can attempt to weld em back together tomorrow. I havent tried out the tig as I dont have an argon setup, workin on it though.





First and second weld that actually held anything. Second is on the left.

you can see my machines in the background of this pic:

Millermatic 212 Autoset, and Hypertherm powermax 30



I have built quite a bit of stuff with it since I got it. Not any offroad fab yet, as I purchased it before my diesel project, but here is some of my stuff I built with it:







some stainless to mild:

My welder count is 3. First was a 120amp Harbor Freight stick welder, pain to work with most of the time. Second was a Wards AC/DC 220V stick welder, that thing is a BEAST, and a steal too that I got at Goodwill for $20, looked almost new but from the 70's or 80's :). Third welder is a 90A flux core from Harbor Freight, it's my go to machine now since the Wards welder is at my moms and I don't have a proper extension cord at my place for it at the moment.

If I need something beefy welded we have an old Lincoln Ideal Arc with a wirefeed setup on top of it at work, now THAT is a welder!

This is a miller wildcat 200 amp gas powered stick welder, a dynasty 200DX stick and tig welder, and a Spectrum 375 extreme plasma cutter.
