[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3274706, member: 26737"] A friend of my dad's is an old oilfield welder, and he said 120V welders are just toys. My dad normally welded with a 220V welder, but didn't have 220 to his new shop, so he was trying to make a 120V unit work; all he needed to do was run a bead around the inside of a bearing race to get it out, but that little welder just couldn't cut it. When he finally gave up and took it to his buddy, he said, "well there's your problem right there, trying to weld with a toy." [/QUOTE]
