Basically, life is weird. After reading all these posts and asking for recommendations to buy a MIG welder for myself, one of my engineers brought in a Hobart Handler 180 after lunch today. Brand new, fresh in the box. He had bought it a year or so ago and never unpacked it. We're going to get a gas tank and set it up in one of our shops. It appears that the unit is made by Miller as there are Miller logos on the handle.
