Eastwood Mig 175
For the money that welder great. I have been running a large spool of lincoln. .030 flux core wire. I have welded the floors (ollie my 10 year old did most of it), I have built my bumpers, fabbed a stereo box, and a bunch of othe stuff around the garage. I cant tell you how much of the spool I've gone through because I haven't had to open the access panel up for any reason. It just keeps welding. I have been wanting to get another gas bottle for shielding gas to play with but honestly it welds so well with flux core and I don't mind cleaning the slag off.
I haven't used the spool gun yet.
Hope this helps in your decision. I would recommend the 175. I've been looking at their plasma cutters now.
looking good.
How do you like that eastwood welder? I've been looking into getting one myself.

Thank you very much, it was between the lincoln 180 and the eastwood 175 so I think you just helped me make up my mind.
