  • The Hobart 140 is the 'sweet spot' in their model line up for a home user
Style: Welder
SUMMARY This is an excellent welder for any home DIY person. I use mine for building and modifying my BBQ smokers and custom steel/wood furniture designs and have had it about 1.5 years. Once you have the ability to 'fuse' metal pieces together there are a wealth uses that seem to come up. From the moment you open the box, the welder is clearly well made and comes with all the necessary accessories to hook up a gas tank and use larger wire spools. You cannot go wrong with this welder assuming it has the power you need for the metal thicknesses you want. 1/4" max steel is fairly heavy duty and should be good for a majority of hobbyist type people and I imagine it is good enough for most commercial light duty. You aren’t going to be welding structural steel shapes, but that was never the intent of this model. The dual voltage on the next model up gets you more power range, but to use it, and any of the more powerful models, you’ll need a 'special' 220v outlet (similar to electric clothes dryers) where you intend to weld. Factor that in to your selection. ACCESSORIES Go ahead and order a large spool of non-flux core (important, see below) wire and weld helmet with auto-darkening. If you have an older style helmet, the auto-darkening is still worth every penny of the upgrade. You will also need a good set of gloves, but I highly recommend trying these on at your local weld supply house. You want the best fitting glove you can find, which you must try on to find. I recommend the thinner leather of pigskin gloves. This material can’t tolerate as much heat (don’t rest your gloved hand for very long on a just completed weld), but will offer much more control and tactile feedback. Finding the correct fit makes your control even better. It is worth your time and any extra expense to try these on and support your local store. You’ll also want a cart for your welder and tank. There are a bunch of these on amazon, available at local places (northern tool, etc), or you could build your own as a first welding project. It puts your welder up higher for easy adjustments and is important for safety with the gas tank. GAS TANK You need to IMMEDIATELY go get a tank of weld gas for your setup. Actually, go ahead and do this while waiting for Amazon to speedily deliver your welder. I am pretty sure they cannot sell a tank to you online for various regulatory/shipping reasons, it definitely cannot be shipped full. This is actually a good thing, because 95% of gas supply places do not want to fill your tank, they prefer to swap them out with already filled ones. If you were to find a nice shiny new tank, you’re going to have a harder time finding place to fill it so that you can keep it and not be swapped for a used filled one. There are typically several welding/gas supply places in any city, and they’ll have other accessories to look at (gloves for example, see above). I got a 40 cubic foot tank, which isn't too bulky at about 20 inches tall, and it has a pretty good life span between fillings. If you plan on welding every weekend (or more) get a bigger one. There will be a larger initial cost the first time to 'buy' the tank, then each subsequent time will be a smaller filling/swap charge. WELDING So why do you need to immediately get a tank and a spool of regular wire? Well simply put flux core wire welding without gas is horrible. It is MUCH harder to do nice welds with and if you haven’t welded before I cannot imagine trying to learn on flux core. I learned to weld back in college on a Miller welder (the blue ones) with a gas setup and got pretty good at it. Fast forward a decade, I had enough potential projects to warrant my own welder and got this one. Being impatient, I initially tried to use the flux-core wire the welder came with and literally thought I completely forgot how to weld. Flux core wire spatters everywhere, makes it very hard not to blow through thinner metals, and is just generally a horrible experience. Flux core wire has to be fed faster because it isn’t all metal (obviously) and I think this leads to less control. This is apparently not a wire type/welder brand/model thing either. Once I got regular wire and a tank with weld gas, my welding skills ‘magically’ returned to normal. I was able to lay down well controlled, perfectly beaded lines. I could even ‘fill-in’ gaps or holes by building up filler metal with the improved control. The wire feed on the Hobart is smooth and consistent. There seems to be enough granularity in the power and feed settings for my needs. I haven’t tried welding aluminum, but will be trying stainless steel soon. BOTTOM LINE I am very happy with the Hobart welder and believe you would be to. It is a good value for what seems to be a quality product. If you have never welded and want to learn, this model is a good place to start and you will likely never need anything else. I strongly considered the Hobart dual voltage model, but ultimately the added cost wasn’t worth the upgrade to weld 3/8 inch thick material. I haven’t needed it yet, and may not ever. The next model down, the 130, doesn’t come with the gas regulator (its an added accessory) and I believe does not have the cast aluminum wire drive system that is in the 140. These are both significant upgrades. This model is the 'sweet spot' in the line up for a home user. ... show more

  • Great Home Shop welder
Style: Welder
Despite already owning a Hobart 210, I decided to add the Hobart 140 to the mix at home for a couple reasons. In one of my work areas, I lack the power necessary to run the 210 so a 115v version (the 140) makes sense … for minor applications. The 140 allows me the ability to tack weld some of my parts together good enough to move these sub-assemblies to my other work area containing my Hobart 210 for final welding. With all this in mind, here is my review of the item: Packaging: Well packaged. It was shipped thru Amazon in just its own Hobart packaging. No additional packaging (aka Amazon box) was present. Shocked a bit by this but ok, it made it here just fine never the less. Assembly: Takes just a couple minutes to assemble the regulator to the welder (adjustable wrench or correctly fit open end wrench required) & mig torch to the welder (no tools required). I opted to setup for gas welding and purchased a spool of .030 welding wire & adjusted the lead connections inside the welder to reflect that I am welding with shielding gas & not flux core. Removed the 20# spool adapter, installed the wire spool, inserted the wire in the gun & adjusted the wire tension. Last step was to install a .030 tip on the gun & go. Operation: Adjustment is easily done on the front of the unit. I did notice that this unit is quite a bit louder than my Hobart 210 but it was quiet enough to not be a bothersome factor while welding. I like the chart on the inside cover of the welder as a reminder of wire gauge, speed, power, etc. based on material. It serves as a good guideline by which to get started. A little adjustment of the 75/25 gas mixture & I was off an welding. Ad-On: The selection of available wire types & sizes for various materials compliments the unit nicely. The small size & portability (as well as 115v operation) were key factory for a lite-duty unit. I opted to buy a small 75/25 tank and Hobart small cart. Next purchase with be a cover. Key Notes: A few things to watch when operating the unit. Keeping it cool. Make sure it is in an area with good air flow. Keeping the unit cool can extend your duty-cycle and possibly the life of the unit. Watch your maximum extension cord length. If you do choose to use an extension cord, be sure to go with the heaviest gauge you can. This will help get the necessary amperage to the unit & extend duty-cycle. Last is … duty-cycle. The higher amperage you weld with, the shorter your duty cycle will be. Example: 20% duty cycle (cycle rates are in the manual and found online for “power” vs. “run time”) means that in normal conditions at a given power output of the welder, you can weld for 2 minutes and allow the welder to rest for 8 minutes. The lower power output of the welder (thinner metals), the higher the duty-cycle will be (longer weld time & shorter rest time). Good welder for the money for thinner metals & home shops. ... show more
