That's cause Chuck don't need no stinking welder!! He just shoots laser beams from his eyes, and shoots cutting torch flames from his rear!!

Yup just playin, i've used both plenty of times in competitions, i've found that lincoln has a good mig welder, but i prefer miller stick and tig welders and older lincoln stick welders.

Metal just welds itself together as soon as Chuck Norris enters the room.

The best stick machine Ive ever used is a Hobart 250. Im not a professional welder by any means but it was better than the Lincoln 250 AC/DC I learned on and the 250 AC/DC in my shop. I loved using the miller mig and tig but for some reason (either me or the machine) I couldnt tig worth a shat.

could have been you, but the machine could have been set incorrectly. pulse makes it harder to use sometimes.

My brain had a hard time telling my foot to back out of the pedal once the metal heated up and wanted to burn through. Then when I backed off I stuck the tip.

Its been years since Ive tried again though.
