Input for a multi process welder.

[dickfoster]

I need to get a decent welding setup for fab work so decided I should get one of the new multi process MIG/TIG/Stick setups. Who has what and who makes a good one for a home fab shop setup? I have 220 power in the shop and the garage so will be going that way. Later on I'll pull 220 out to the shed. No I won't be doing it for money, just fabbing up my own stuff. Think I'll get a gas rig too. There is always a need for basic gas.

I have a Lincoln V350-Pro, I couldn't be more satisfied with it.
I understand Miller's XMT 304, and XMT 350 are great welder too.

Very happy with my XMT 304. Didn't come cheap, though.

+1 on the XMT's.

I just recently got the Lincoln 210mp. Like it so far. Comes gas and stick ready at around $1,065.

Add more if u want spool and tig.

If you plan on aluminum tig I don't think it will work for u. I found it to be good value for what u get.

I've had the 211i for about 2 years now and really like it. Nice to be able to switch mig to stick when needed, and played a little with tig. Someone showed me this just today, $885 price, I paid more back then.

I'd include the ESAB Rebel in your search.

Rebel

Price is around $1500

Check out the Powernation TV show "xtreme off road" episodes. Ian Johnson, the guy who builds off road rock crawlers on that show uses a Rebel.

Yeah I've been looking at that one. Just playing it safe by looking at everything out there before I plunk down some money. The only fixed criteria is multi process. A little TIG and a little MIG mostly but sometimes ya just gotta pull out the stick.
