The SP-135T Lincoln Mig Welder is a MIG & flux-cored wire feeder/welder that has been specifically designed for home workshops, auto-body repair, and light-maintenance. It can weld stainless steel and aluminum. The Lincoln SP-135T mig welder is lightweight runs on residential (120V) power. The SP-135T Lincoln mig welder is great for the occasional welder.
The Lincoln SP-175T welder is great for MIG and flux-cored welding applications on virtually any light gauge material including stainless and aluminum. It is compact, portable, and can be used for home, hobby, automotive, truck trailer, and farm.
I have a lincoln (sparkeler) 110 volt and its cute at best give it a good once over.....the amp adjustment knob broke on the first day but it has always worked to my satifaction for the small things i have used it for.

I have an SP 175+ and it is no fun trying to weld aluminum with. The power mig 180C and 180T are set up to run a spool gun. The SP 175 and 135's are not. There a couple of websites you can find these on. E-bay and weldingmart.com are two that come to mind. If you still are wanting a SP 175+, mine is for sale with everything that came with it brand new. And the aluminum welding issues are why. Chris

Thanks for the insight. Is it the same welder I was looking at? I was looking at the 175HD from home depot. Thanks
