There are a couple of recent threads that talk about mig welders. If you dont plan on doing anything bigger than 3/16", you can get into a variety of migs in the 150 amp range for $400-$500. If you can EVER see yourself doing some heavier work, go ahead and shop around for a well taken care of 220 unit with 200 amps+ (provided that you have available 220 power)
