I'm gonna buy a welder

[brans87]

I have used linclon,miller,hobart myself. Own a Hobart 140 but still looking at miller 215 vs ESAB rebel 215

They are nice machines, and the rebel is a new machine with a new price point to make them more competitive with the other manufacturer's out there.

I would buy one if I needed it. And it was a good deal.

Looks like the rebel is around 2, Miller around 15, and the Lincoln around 12.

Guess it comes down to if buying American is important to you then.

I've got a Miller 180 autoset. Happy with it. Have a old miller 220v buzz box stick welder as well. I will have a tig at some point.
