[TheForge] Engine Driven Welders

Tue Feb 10 18:49:00 2004

I agree with Larry, stay with Lincoln or Miller. I have a Lincoln 10LX. It
is diesel powered. It is a 250 amp continuous welder. It is a 10,000 watt
power supply. It does MIG, TIG and stick. I added a High Frequency unit for
doing aluminum TIG. I am very happy with it. I am really happy when the
power goes out around hear because it will run my whole house, heat, water
heater, lights, fridge and freezer.
