Yeah, I figured it wouldnt be quite enough for structural frame and chassis welding, but I can't see myself doing anything other than patch panels, replacing quarters and filling holes. I dont mind upgrading in a couple of years if and when my skills and needs increase. The other welders I was comparing it to were a clarke and a hobart handler 140, but everyone told me to stick with either a miller or a lincoln and the price is 299.00 about 150 cheaper than the others. I just wanted to make sure it's going to work for what I want to do.
