really that is the exact machine i want where did u find it for under 600 i believe iirc there like around 800 i have the 145 i believe it does 1/4 plate pretty well how does your 180 deal with the 5/16

Found it onsale locally. I have no need to weld 5/16.

Nope. I've never hit the duty cycle on it yet. I spent a 2 weeks worth of nights replacing all the floors in my 72 mustang with it (constant stitch welding) and never had any performance problems. Built a bunch of bumpers for friends, rock sliders, etc with it. Awesome little machine.

i got a little fluxed core lincoln i picked up for like 400 canadian a few years back my only problem is when im welding thick plate i blow the breaker the welder it self hets the job done. used it too make a one person dune buggy havent had a weld fail yet and i have jumped that thing and got it stuck and had too pull it out with a toyota. this was before i bought a ranger

Probably because you have it plugged into a 15 amp 110v circuit when it needs a 20 amp 110v circuit.
