If you go with an all-in-one compact unit, and have a need to lay down quite a bit of weld metal, a 180 amp unit might just be a better choice, due to its superior duty cycle. The MM 180, HH 187, and PM 180C are all very good units.Last edited by Danny; 10-26-2007, 08:17 AM.

I would rather use a suitcase with a decent engine drive than a 115v machine anyday. Might be why I have three suitcases.Why not just get a smaller gun for the suitcase and go that way?
But, if you must get another machine, I would get a Hobart 140 over the Miller. Tapped units can be easier to dial in...plus they are cheaper than the Millers if money is an issue. Just a thought.

Any way you go is good.
Any way you go is good with the exception that if something major goes wrong you may be better off local. This is of course remote. As far as the delivery truck is concerned Miller welders are not ginger bread houses and take the jiggle and their warranty backs it up. However, with that aside you may want to look at the new MM180, awesome machine and I think you get a lot more for the buck$$!!

Millermatic 140
I have a good size job that's made of thin wall tubing, .049 to .062 thk and was thinking about getting a millermatic 140 for the job. My other option is to try running .023 wire through my suitcase feeder and a 200 amp gun. That seems like it could be a headache.
My question is how are these machines? I got a price of $650 from my lws and found them on line. IOC had them for $591 & cyberweld had them for $630. My only concern with online buying is the dreaded ups ride doing some damage after waiting a few days.
