Mig Help Please
What to buy ... I got it down to 2 welders.....
1) Hobart 140 with cart for 485.00
2) Miller 135 no cart but with Infinite voltage control with wire feed speed tracking for 542.00
I want to weld body panels with the welder I buy. Is Millers Infinite voltage control with wire feed speed tracking worth the extra money? The Hobart does not have that feature but comes with a free cart.. Both come with everything needed for gas hook up... I am an amature and will have to practice alot under the supervision of a friend before I attempt my first panel... Just want some opinions for the best of the 2 welders for a beginner...
Thanks alot

Both are made by Miller, your just paying for the name. I would get the Hobart if it has a cart and is a hair more powerful. Just my opinion though. 60$ might be worth it for the Miller if your not too squashed for money.

Both machines are big names in the welding industry. I doubt the extra 5 amps the Hobart provides will ever be an issue to you but the infinite adjustment could be.
If it was my money, I'de go with the Miller.
