Lincoln 140 / 180 Welder TEST & REVIEW

[@-DIYPRO-]

Test time! Thanks for watching!

[@randomrebuilds]

Straight to the point, no BS review - thank you. Just solidified my decision to purchase the Lincoln 140 as my first welder for sheet metal projects.

[@-DIYPRO-]

Thanks!

[@wargod949]

I built a welding business with this welder best investment I've made

[@-DIYPRO-]

Right on, did you start from a shop or just out of your garage?

[@toonloon8632]

how??

[@DieselDog358]

I've got the MigPak 140 and I love it. Perfect for the home and maybe for work. Just a great little machine!

[@BILL-sb5kk]

What about the lincoln 140 hd ? you didn"t say anything about that welder ?

[@shermanyoung8185]

Lincoln just came out with the 180i MP welpak dual voltage will be available at Home Depot in the coming weeks

[@-DIYPRO-]

Yea looks like they have a new multi process and a new 180 dual. They look expensive so I'll have to start saving up now!

[@shermanyoung8185]

@@-DIYPRO- yeah around $1200, but Husky has a new line of welders at HD one of them a multi process 180 dual voltage $548 with a 3year warranty similar to the Lincoln but at a much more affordable diy price Prime Weld has a similar model to also at HD check them out,I really enjoy your videos👍

THANK YOU FOR A VIDEO WITH GOOD INFO AND QUICK THANKS AGAIN

[@-DIYPRO-]

Glad it was helpful!

[@mohmadelsayes1338]

Question Do you work with gas in the air outside the factory

[@-DIYPRO-]

No, you'll want to use Flux core or stick welding for outdoors.

[@ZR1Terror]

What if I have zero knowledge and zero experience in welding. Can I buy one of these and learn pretty easily? Or is it too complex where you might need to go to school? I just want it for home projects.

[@-DIYPRO-]

Pick on up and start practicing. No need to go to school. Just make sure you read the manual, follow the instructions, watch some youtube videos, and you'll be good!

[@glennbrooks3449]

I have been using a ac 220 amp stick welder for over 40 years. Made lots of carts , wood stoves , chassis repair etc . Bought a 180 6 months ago but I am having trouble getting used to it. Bought it thinking it would be better for thin steel like atv frames. However I am not impressed with it. However I will not give up yet.

[@robp418]

KZbin and some scrap steel and you’ll be there in no time.

[@jdogg5763]

@@glennbrooks3449 I’m the opposite it just got a arc welder and I sometimes forget to push the rod closer

[@garagekeys]

​@@glennbrooks3449 I like this machine takes a little getting used to

[@visualsmaya808]

I have a 250 volts 50 amp breaker. Will this welder be good to plug into ? Like no trips?

[@-DIYPRO-]

The 180, yes you are good to run it on that breaker.

[@melvinwoodruff905]

Thanks

[@-DIYPRO-]

Thank you!

[@mohmadelsayes1338]

How much is it?

[@-DIYPRO-]

600-900 depending on if you want the 140 or 180

[@GidDree]

Love, Love your get to the point reviews ! Liked-Subccribed 👍

[@-DIYPRO-]

Thanks for the sub!

[@wildmanofborneo]

I don't appreciate how Lincoln makes the gas valve open electrically at the same time the wire starts feeding. Guarantees the initial arc has no shield gas. Clarke has superior engineering as they use mechanical valve that opens independently of the wire feed actuation. Can hold trigger halfway and preflow some shield gas. Sorry, Lincoln, like the red paint but you still have a lot to learn about designing a welder. One more microswitch and you can preflow, too.

Home Depot

or online

[@sunnydean9611]

Buy a real 180c from Lincoln! This is a made for home depot cheapy. Look at a real 180c from Lincoln and you will see the obvious differences...

[@cullenequipment8951]

The real 180 has variable control heat, that's the easiest way to tell them apart. Only true welding supply shops sell the real 180, not the box stores.

[@lukaszkoczen]

I just got it but unfortunately my generator with 25A output won't run this machine..

[@-DIYPRO-]

From my experience the generator needs to be way oversized to run a welder.
