New 120V MIG

Mark @ Everlast · Apr 24, 2014

Guys,
I'd normally post this in the Everlast thread, but several people have asked me about when we'd have one in the US and wanted me to follow up where it will be better noticed. If it's not a good place, then the mods can move it over I am sure. I try to be sensitive about putting up dedicated threads like this.
We do have a new IGBT (not mosfet like others) inverter MIG that is 140 amps @ 35% duty cycle. This is a conventional MIG setup, not some mickey mouse design. It is setup like standard transformers, but has key advantages. This puts out a higher amperage. The transformer units like you see are usually only about 90-100 amps...even though they are rated for 140...The 140 amp is a theoretical possibility for a brief few seconds but cannot be sustained. I look for this welder to change a few minds about the capability of a true 140 amp, 120V MIG.

It is designed for MIG only, and will support an optional spool gun. Tim Robel, (some of you may remember him from other videos), has his own thing he is doing now, and he asked for an advanced copy. This is our new 120V Mig.

It will be here in about 4 weeks or so. We are already taking orders but for TBN guys, it is 379.00 shipped (plus tax if you live in the state of CA) to the lower 48. Same warranty.

We've not cheaped out on this unit as it still features stepless control and a heavy duty wire feeder. It also features the easy to connect Quick connect coupling which is easy to change out to other gun brands. It doesn't feature a digital readout and doesn't feature a choke control, but it is still a very capable welder.

That looks like the welder I need. I havent welded since High School and would like to get into it. Very good price.

It will definitely give you "more" power than your average equivalent 120V machine and on top of that it weighs a lot less.

When you say MIG only, does that mean it won't do fluxcore?
Or do you mean no stick or TIG welding.

No stick or TIG welding. Flux core capable.

I have no idea what the older Lincoln 135+ Plus welder I started with had as far as insides , But I do Know that it welded quite a few implements I built around here and even with the abuse I have bestowed upon those implements , No Welds have broken . Being that it was a older model , I think it was more robust than the newer models , But if Your Welder is Similar or better than that , For almost $150 Less in price , Then that will be one Heck of a Deal :thumbsup:

As You Stated Mark , I Think most people will be surprised at the Capabilities of the 110/120 machines and it really nice to see that You Guys are bringing a model into that field !! Good Job !! :thumbsup:

It was a unit we wanted to completely develop with our factory...it wasn't something we wanted to outsource to another factory with a ready product that every one is selling or piggy back on another company's product to gain an instant reputation. We wanted to make sure it met the standards of the US and Canadian market requirements. A lot of testing has gone on before we've gotten to this point with this unit.

Here's his "one" month update. He's had it for a while so the videos aren't exactly synched up in time lapse between them, so that is why there is not quite a month lapse.
