Posted by SteveB on May 10, 2008, 7:00 pm Please log in for more thread options I want a Lincoln 140 wirefeed. I see there are 140C, 140T, 140 Plus, and maybe more. I want the one with the variable power and not the jumps. I don't want the cheapest one that HD sells. I'll buy it from my steel supplier. What's a quick commentary on the various 140s and their differences. I'll probably just buy the best one, but would like to understand the differences. Thanks.

Personally, I like the clicky switches - those welders tend to be the ones you move around a lot on a big job and when moving them the dials often get bumped. I have the 175T instead of 175Plus for that reason. One thing about the little Lincolns. The guns will bind up if you bend them in too tight an arc. Many wirefeeding problems with mine are resolved by straightening out the gun cable a little. Grant Similar Threads Posted ASME versus EN PQR comparison October 17, 2007, 6:23 am QUICK!
