    I ready to buy a welder to bag my truck, which of these will be perfect to do anything custom on my truck? basically i'm asking if the cheaper on 180 would do or just go with the 216?
    SP-180T
    or
    POWER MIGĀ® 216

    I have the first one an bagged my truck an a c10 with it. Thickest I've welded is 1/4" an it penetrated excellently. I run a bottle of 75/25 on it aswell with big spool of wire. Nothin worse than doin a bead an runnin out of wire lol
