Re: Welders!
The 20% duty cycle will bother you if you start to weld anything thicker than what the .023 wire is doing. Also the older the machine gets the shorter the duty cycle seems to get.
I have had a Lincoln similar to both the machines your looking at and it has worked very well for years on small things.
Money is very well spent on a bigger machine that runs off 220v, they can handle most anything you can get into in a home garage and will last a lifetime.
The duty cycle is based off of a 10 minute cycle. So 20% is 2 minutes constant in 10 minutes but as the machine heats up the duty cycle get shorter also. Ambient temperature will change the duty cycle too.
