110v Welder

[muleskinner]

I dont know why that is so cheap but 400 bucks is what i paid for a used millermatic 135 thats 110v so thats a deal plus if anyone wants this welder from grainger i get a 10% discount for being a parker employee so let me know id be glad to save someone a little coin:greg:

Sign me up! $360 can't be beat. I've had both 110 & 220v and I would get the 220 hands down.

I'll make my old welder my standby

 

[iamsparticus]

sounds good just let me know when you want it and get me the money i can order it anytime or just meet me at their saltlake store after i get off work during the week about 330 or so

 

[iamsparticus]

i just called grainger on the welder my price is 422.95 so they wont give me the 10% off they just pay the freight charge because it come directly from the vendor but i would imagine the frieght charge would be more than tax by far so if you still want to do that muleskinner pm me

So $422.95 is with tax?

 

[muleskinner]

I just called them to get a cash price for comparison. The nice lady on the phone quoted me $1180 + freight. Same item #. She told me I should order it online.

I'll PM you

 

[iamsparticus]

yeah 422.95 is with tax so its a sweet price if i didnt already buy my miller id jump on this, anyone else wants one of these let me know or go on the web and get it

Remember that doesn't come ready to go you still need a lot to get up and going

like what?

wire and gas? what else? on additional info it says it comes with a gun and cable.

probably going to try to get one, if they are not totally sold out by the time i decided.

Explain "a lot"

I already have several bottles of C25 and a couple spools of wire.

Taken from the Grainger website:
Includes regulator, 10-ft. MIG gun, and hose cart.

 

[Marsh99]

I didn't think it came with gun , ground, or plug
I was wrong

 

[Marsh99]

Ordered mine

 

[spaggyroe]

I made the mistake of buying a 110v welder.... and got rid of it...
Ever since, I've been trying to repress those memories. :-\

I saved my coin and bought a millermatic 252. I LOVE it. IMO, you just can't compare a 110 and 220 machine.

The deal Carl posted is stupid cheap.

 

[thenag]

Ordered the 230v from grainger today, pending charge on my card and everything.

they have a 120v on sale too

Grainger pulled the welder off their site. Hopefully I get the one I ordered. That deal was crazy.

 

[Unimog]

Yup. I called this morning and they said it was no longer available.

Did they happen to say if the deal was legit while it was posted online? I'm just hoping the $400 price wasn't a mistake. I don't want to find out next week i'm not getting my welder.

 

[Unimog]

She didn't say, just that they received an email indicating the welder had been removed from the catalog. She also checked to see if it was replaced by another item and it was not.

 

[thenag]

On pirate people are reporting that they are getting emails saying the orders will not go through at that price.

I have not received an email and the charge is still on my card

"if it's too good to be true it usually is"

oh well I'll stick with my stick welder for now.

I just called to check on my order and I guess they only had 12 for sale and once they sold out they didn't bother to stop taking orders. Pretty crappy way to run a business.

Back to the original issue, 110 welders work pretty well as long as you get a nice one. Don't even consider some off brand. If you go with Miller, Hobart, or Lincoln you will be fine.

I own a Hobart and prefer it, but I have used a Lincoln 110 extensively. Both have been used a lot on off road rigs with no failures.

Prep your material well, and use your head. I am very comfortable welding 3/16" with mine, and 1/4" isn't bad. I wouldn't even try thicker, but almost nothing I need to weld is thicker so it isn't and issue for me.
