no, the 140 is 110v only, but it's badass for what it is. the DO make one, though, that is dual range

yeah i guess i can just make the wiriring, i kinda wanted a lil 2 foot jammie already made?  im not sure if they make em?  unless its like $100 i can just buy the 2 ends nad I have 300' of 220v wiring.



also i wouldnt buy a 110 welder EVER
110 welder = fruit roll up

When you use a 220v mig you realize how true that statement is. The heat and penetration control is amazing. 110v mig is good for hobby stuff, but when you start glueing thick stuff, 220v is so nice and consistent. But 110v welders,especially that millermatic will defiantly get the job done for most car guy stuff.

I can't tell if earl is asking or carbum.

I have just started to get into 110v/220v wiring for these airstreams I'm renovating. But i have the luxury that i start from scratch and make it how i need it, not bandaid something. There was some talk that if you needed  a low amperage 220v circuit you could bridge two 110v but it would have to be done in the fusebox. Or I swore I read you could use the neutral wire as the opposite opposing wave 110v and get 220v but it's not ideal. Go read up on home wiring, and if your scared in anyway. Don't touch it, get a professional. This ain't no 12v shock, 110v and especially 220v can cause serious damage to you squishy parts

Meanwhile that Miller 350P I've been using will take teeth off of the spider gears if you turn it up all the way. So rowdy.

most of these cheap welders (lincoln included) are made in China.

Get a gas setup, or one that you can add it later

Speed wire, or flux core is so dirty! And just isn't nearly as fun to do

That northern one is a really good price for all included, has a regulator, all you need is a bottle and solid wire.

I just bought a miller 211 with dual voltage and its amazing. I've never welded with 110 before it works fine will be nice if I take it somewhere that doesnt have 220 but of course welding with 220 is a lot better.
