I have a 130 amp Lincoln MIG. The reason I use it is that I can take it out to the field and run it with my generator when stuff breaks down away from the shop.
For big pieces, I angle grind the part to get heat penetration, then pre-heat with a oxy-acetylene torch until cherry red. MIG is on highest setting "4" and then go. I use mostly flux-core when in the field working on rusty farm equipment. So far, this rig has worked really well. I've repaired the box scraper, forklift steering arm, and disc. Everything is still sticking despite heavy use.
