Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559

Argon/co2 75/25 is the recommended gas mixture for welding mild steel with the Hobart Handler® 140 MIG welder

To run the Hobart Handler 140, you would need a generator that could put out 20 Amps and 3000 Watts continuously.

The Hobart Handler 140 is designed to weld up to 1/4" steel. Ultimately, you would be able to achieve 3/8" with multiple passes but we would not suggest using this welder if you will be doing 3/8" often.

The Mig gun needed for the Hobart Handler 140 500559 is a Hobart H100S2-10 245924. http://store.cyberweld.com/h10miggun.html

The Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 will not run on dual shield. Hobart advises that its recommended for FCAW and GMAW welding processes.

Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 has a 5/3/1 warranty .Here is the link for the Hobart 5/3/1 warranty: http://www.hobartwelders.com/pdf/warranty.pdf We do not charge sales tax when shippint to Washington

The Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 and the Millermatic 141 MIG Welder 907612 are very similar.They both run on 110 volt .They both have a max output of 140 amps. The mig guns are basically the same model and both models have cast aluminum wire drive systems. The biggest differences are in the weld output controls.Both units use an infinitely variable wire speed control. The Handler 140 has a five position tap switch for voltage control. The Millermatic 141 uses an infinitely variable voltage control. The infinitely variable voltage control allows for more precise control of weld output.. The Millermatic 141 also has a feature know as Auto Set. This feature automatically sets the correct wire feed speeds and voltage when using .030 and .024 wire. Both units will do a good job when welding auto bodies. The Miller because of has Auto Set and infinitely variable voltage control will provide a more precise control of weld output and will be a little better when trying to control heat input on thin body panels

Hobart advises that the Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 can weld 1/4 steel in one pass but only with flux cored wire..You would need to make multiple passes using solid wire

The Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 will require 2.5KW if your generator is a 10KW (10000 watts) you should not have any problem

Hobart advise that the Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 can weld up to 1/4" in a single pass

The Hobart Handler 140 MIG Welder 500559 is the new upgraded version of the HANDLER 140. The upgraded model now uses and aluminum wire drive feed system rather than the plastic drive system used in the previous model. the upgraded 140 now has a 5 step volage control switch rather than 4 on the older model and the upgraded model uses a steel ground clamp rather than a copper clamp
