I have been looking at mig welders lately. Current pick is a Hobart 187 (220v) or a 140 (110v)
My question is, some of the lower priced (import) 220v units have an amperage rating of around 120 amps.
Some of the more expensive 110v units are rated 135-140 amps.
So are amps amps? Duty cycles are roughly the same.
Whay would you pick? Remember I am just a hobby welder rarely ever having to weld anything bigger than 3/16".
