I have a Lincoln now, Pat. I like fairly well, my only complaint is the amperage control,,it goes up in big steps with no fine tuning between heat ranges... I'll be going back to a Miller when I get a new one. But, I've had this one for 10 years or so with absolutely no problems, so I'll say the Lincolns are a very well built unit and should last forever in a home shop!

For the money I like my Hobart Handler 187 http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...8799_200328799 Hobart and Miller share a common parent company, and I have had good results with my Hobart.

I've had both Lincoln and Miller, both work well, are durable, and easy to service and supply. My comments would mirror Dave's; the Miller has a slightly better "feel", user friendliness..........though the Lincoln is not objectionable........it's just a slight preference thing.

You might want to wait to pull the trigger til next week when you're at SEMA. Both companies usually have large displays and will likely have promotional sales going, they have in the past. You might be able t swing an even better deal there.
