Re: anyone have /had a Lincon powerCRAFT 191C (not the Lincoln powerTEC) There are other options as well, like weldclass and bossweld. Although in these cheaper ones warranty can come into it. An acquaintance bought a Cigweld cutskill 60 plasma cutter and maybe it did half an hours cutting and the magic smoke poured out of it. It was replaced with a new one. I have a unimig 250MTS welder. It is in the same class of welders you are looking at. Made in China, on the medium quality sort of chart. I really can not fault it for the price point. I just burned through about 30kg of 4mm 8018 welding rods on a project and it never missed a beat, I never hit the duty cycle cutout despite burning rod after rod at 180 amps. I know it is a bit bigger then you want, but it goes to show that these medium quality machines are still OK. I found one thing these machines lack are quality earth clamps and often the rubber parts on the cables perish quickly.
Re: anyone have /had a Lincon powerCRAFT 191C (not the Lincoln powerTEC) Since you haven't gotten any useful feedback, I have a powercraft 250c, it's not a high end machine, they're cheap and the quality shows in everyway, but at least with the 250c you do get a lot of machine for your money, I paid $1150 for mine new at total tools, and there's nothing else on the market that comes close in output to cost ratio.

Re: anyone have /had a Lincon powerCRAFT 191C (not the Lincoln powerTEC) I dont think the 191 has the 2T/4T function. https://weldingtechnology.co.nz/site...g%20Manual.pdf The 180i does. https://assets.lincolnelectric.com/a...t_180i_mig.pdf Attachment 1731246
