Yesterday I finally decided to pull the trigger and order a new welder, this is the first brand new welder I've ever bought, I'm still using my grandads old Lincoln Idealarc 250, have a couple older mig welders and a small tig machine. I grew up in a family of farmers and iron workers and started learning to weld about 12 years old and at 56 I'm still learning, in my family if your were a teenager and couldn't weld people figured there was something wrong with you.
I have a job coming up to weld about 30 pipe rail panels and figured a new welder was in order, my old mig is getting a little tired, so after all the research I could do I ordered a Lincoln Power mig 210mp, has anyone here had any experience with one of these machines?? I was able to test one out at a local welding shop where a friend of mine works and it welds great but I wonder about durability.
I know there's a lot of guys here with a lot of knowledge, would like to hear opinions on this machine, I know Lincoln had a problem with the drive rollers "wobbling" leading to inconsistent wire speed with these machines but they say that problem has been taken care of.
