My old Miller Matic 35 S wire welder has finally just about wore out. Any suggestions on what to buy for a replacement?

I don't do as much as I used to but want something that can handle about the same material the 35S could.

Been a long time since I went shopping for one.

Hi Eddie,

If you could tell us the amperage of your 35 S, as well as any of its most important specs (duty cycle @ full power, etc.) more people could provide personal insight on comparable machines.

All the best, Stan

Eddie, That should be a no brainer. You've had good results with the Miller so stick with Miller.
There are a lot of welders on the market today and most are not worth lugging home after you have used a good one. Even if you do less work that you used to, you won't like anything less than you had. Check and see what Miller produces now that is comparable to what you had, then check fleabay and other sources for a decent used one if you can't justify the cost of new. All I use in my shop are Millers for welding and Thermal-Dynamics for cutting.

I agree Steve. But since it's been quite awhile since I bought one I was wondering if manufacturers had changed from good to bad or vice versa. Even though I don't do as much as I once did I still would like to be able to handle thicker stock if the need arises.

Appreciate all the info and suggestions.

Hi Eddie- I'm not familiar with the 35 S model, but I bought a Lincoln Pro Mig 175 from Lowe's last Fall and like it. I just do small jobs at home and not everyday. It works good for me. Has 30-175 amp range. I think 30% duty cycle at 130 amps.
