Hi Artie. From what I read about it, the amp or heat selecter is a clicker but the wire feed is an infinity adjustment.
The cheepee Campbell Hausfeld I have now is just like that. I used a Solar 175 back in the late 80's that had fully adjustable settings and it was real good for fine tuning automobile sheetmetal. In the late 90's I was using a small miller that the boss bought and I never did like that machine. I don't remember the model.
I took my welding test for auto repair on a Lincoln 180, I think it was. Small machine, but it welded great and we broke the metal, welds never did come apart.
That Hobart 210 MVP is the machine Jody did a video about and he liked the machine. They say it will weld 1/4".
Since I posted that, I found out the same place had that welder on sale for $754 back in November.
I know Jody said Northern was offering a 'Welders Tips' discount but that was some time ago and Northern is $899 now.
I'm going to wait through January and just watch the prices. I definitely need it by March 1.
