Whats a good mig for cheap

I was updating here because this particular TIG machine was brought up here.
I'll post more about it here: https://www.miataturbo.net/fabulous-...-welder-72401/
Not sure if that's the TIG welder thread, but it's the one I found last night that had the most recent activity.

The weld for tig is very nice im just worried about the learning curve! To many switches lol. I want to make parts today so I need a mig but eventually maybe I'll take a class for tig if needed?

TIG is definitely more precise, and I prefer it for smaller parts. I would not have wanted to build my bumpers with TIG. It would have taken years...
Youtube and Google are definitely your friend for learning TIG. It's still a learning curve, but you can really get a leg up with what you can learn online.

My Eastwood MIG175 experience has been nothing less than stellar in four years of ownership. They stood by their warranty (no fault of the unit) sending me a complete replacement. Because it comes as a complete welding solution, I've been able to stick together anything I've needed short of AC lines, which I brazed.

I'm considering buying their 200amp TIG ac/dc which is ~$800. I'd like to learn how to weld stainless.

Ah, ok. It actually caused us some problems while it was happening. We were using the machine on a commercial job (lol) to weld ductwork. With all the other **** going on at the job site, you wouldn't hear that is was leaking - like you would in between welds in say, your garage. We burnt through two decent size bottles (125 or 150 size?) in a single shift before realizing what was going on.

So I've had the Lincoln MP210 on loan for a few months now. I love the thing. Easy to navigate menu options, plenty of *****, and Lincoln did a heck of a job getting the setting close right out of the box. Have run both .025 and .035 wire through it so far without any issues. The only thing I don't like about it, is that the feeder doesn't have a feed button next to it, so you have to shut the gas off and jack the WFS up when changing spools or liners.
