[AT] Wire welder question

[Larry D. Goss]

You've hit the nail on the head with the smaller units, Dave. I have one
myself, but I'm starting to save my money for a larger unit.  The wire
drive and the duty cycle limitations will make you absolutely tear your
hair out.

Fortunately, I have access to a much larger unit that can run 100% of
the time, but I want to have that capability in MY shop also.

Don, in my very humble opinion, you won't be happy
with the Hobart.  They vary all over the place, mostly
the wire drive I think, but it's real hard to work
with.  Unstable as all get out.  I used to work with a
variety of Millers and now only have the Hobart.  If I
was to do any work other than equipment repair I would
tear my hair out!!  I would get the best Miller (or
Lincoln from what I hear) I could afford, even well
used will be better than new Hobart.  Again, only my
opinion, good luck!
