Do not think I mentioned Lincoln by name just said RED, I do not remember the brand name. I just know what I saw and that was just one of the reasons I decided to go with the best MILLER. If that is the way your baby welder is then so be it, But I will bet you your next paycheck that the Miller weighs more and more then likely will out last your baby welder. I bought a 110 and then got another one 220 and as this thread was saying, in the beginning and I agree with from experience that having more then you think you need is a wise consideration before the purchase. That 210 is a nice unit cause it has both of the best worlds 110 tap and a 220 tap. I have found that for sheet metal the 110 is the right welder , but beyond that the 220 is more capable and easier to get the penetration needed for a secure weld I try to live by that assume thing, before I call someone out ..... again just my HO ..........

You responded to the discussion in the post immediately prior to yours - Lincoln(red) vs. Miller(blue).
My statement still holds - no plastic rollers in a Lincoln.
Enough said
