I have an older 140 that doesn't have the auto-set. Works awesome for thinner material and small tubing. It will do frame rails, but it doesn't like it very much. You have to go slow because it runs out of duty cycle and shuts down.

We have a newer 185 at work. In addition to the auto-set it has the automatic voltage switching feature. This machine works really well for sheetmetal up to 1/4" (if you lay on it). Doesn't like 120, but on 240 it will run a bead as far as you can reach without a problem.
