which welder is better Lincoln 140t or lincoln 140c?

Here is a description for both. Not sure which to buy. Need it to do all kinds of projects around the house and will not be building roll cages or HD bumpers. I don't have 220V at home either.

Which one do you guys think?

IIRC, the "t" model has amperage presets, while the "c" model is variable amperage, which gives you a bit more flexibility. If they're the same price go for the 140c, otherwise you probably won't notice the difference.

Where's the description, btw?

For the same amount I can get the Lincoln 175. Should I just go this route?

Will I still be able to weld on the body panels with this without destroying it?

That depends more on you than the machine. Output range is 30-140A on the 140 and 30-175A on the 175, so your low heat is the same.

I'd like to see a place where the Lincoln 175 and the Lincoln 140 are the same price. Around here it's about a 20% price difference. Go with the 175 for sure

get the 175 plus if you get it.

You can get both of them for about the same price on ebay. Not the same but if I don't buy lunch 2 days I can get the 175. Only a couple of bucks difference. I just saw a couple on them before I posted here.

OK, The sp-175 plus is a lot more than the 175hd. Should I just go with the 175HD for $450 or or stop eating lunch for 3 weeks and get the sp-175 plus for $750?
