1981 HTP Auto Mig 140, the best mig welder for auto sheet metal repairs. Continuous, spot, stitch. I missed a lot that machine, no longer in the market, non in the market today, compares.
We do offer a MIG 140: www.eastwood.com/eastwood-140-amp-mig-welder-welding.html with a 3 year warranty.

Matt, I think you do a great job with these videos. Thank you and Eastwood for sharing this information. I picked up some great tips on your welder settings. Knowing the recommended settings and seeing how you altered that and how far off you ended up helped me understand that I need to not be afraid to get that far away from the recommended settings. Many thanks!
Thanks Matt, you're a busy guy. I have to do this to a back trunk panel, your tips will help, especially turning up the heat.
I'm working on a 1978 harley davidson sportster with the mig 135 and it's great, I've done a couple projects with it and it's been plenty big enough. I love it.
I have the mig 175 and a 78 Monte Carlo! bought the welder to build the car, and I'm completely satisfied with it! bought the 25 foot cord as well and it works great together! I love your videos, no bs, actually showing and explaining the process.. I bought my welder from Eastwood because of these videos! I can't wait to own more of your tools!
Great video guys, very helpful for the unskilled like myself, cheers and G'day from Australia

I have the Eastwood Mig 180 and a 1985 Fiat X1/9. I just purchased the welder from you last week!
Got a great deal on the Eastwood MIG 135 should be here on Saturday. I have to replace the inner roof panel on my 68 Chevy C20. The windshield seal has been leaking for years before I bought it and the rust is terrible Someone filled it with bondo from the L visor mount to R visor mount and the mirror mounts are gone. bought a OER replacement patch panel. So I have to spot weld from the vert position in a horizontal direction. This video has helped me plan for this project.
Thanks for your really helpful videos. But could you please include metric measurements as well, so viewers from outside the US can understand what you are talking about? Thanks!
Thanks guys, very informative, just what I needed to know.

Thanks so much for this instructional video and tips.
I don't have a welding machine, but I would love to add one to my tools! And learn to do it as good as you!
You can do it!
Great videos guys and a great range of products. I'm in New Zealand and have just discovered an outlet that sells Eastwood products here. I can now buy the tools that you promote in your videos. Great ! Btw there is a lot of restoration work happening in NZ.
1996 Sonoma body dropped with SBC and new patina paint. loving my MIG 175. All new smoothed firewall, Bed floor and sides. This includes all new sheet metal dash and doors. Hotrod style.
sounds awesome! why a sbc instead of ls? I'm pulling my 350 to go to 6.0..
I had a freshly rebuilt motor ready to go and wanted a really clean and simple install.
Fantastic video!
Thx for sharing this
I'm using the Eastwood Spot Weld kit with nozzle and clamps. My MIG is a 110v. I have the heat all the way up and I am not getting penetration. What am I doing wrong ? The welds are as you say very proud.
What do you mean by "I have the machine set high" ? When I set mine to a higher voltage, it just hisses instead of crackling. Or if I also speed up the wire, then I get way too much wire in the spot weld. I would love to see a better explanation if possible.
mig 135 1976 fj40 land cruiser my " spot" welds are only like 1/8" wide and too high...what am i doung wrong? BTW 2nd day welding
Do you make a slip on nozzle for spot welding kit? I have a Hobart handle that has the slip on nozzle.
A question about buying the eastwood 135 or 175 mig weld: I live in sweden and we have 220-240 voltage here. Is it possible for us here in Sweden to use this machines then?

I just purchased the Eastwood 135, how do you like it so far? I haven't used mine yet
Is there a kind of trick to determining power and feed speed? It makes sense to assume that a better penetration is achieved from a higher power setting, but when do you know to change your wire feed setting? When you're trying to either cake on or be sparse with filling a weld?
Matt, Please tell what your CFH setting is at. This affects temperature too!
Love the videos. Great presentation and information. That being said! Get another camera for the close ups! Can't see your work
don't currently have a welder but will be trying to purchase one soon, mainly for body work. can't afford anything special and don't have 220 so I gotta get a cheap little welder and hope she does the job, truck is a 1981 chevy crewcab 2wd, hopefully getting dually fenders and an lb7 dirtymax motor. offer me 10,000 for the truck and I'd sle3p on it, but id still probably find myself saying no. labor of love for DAMN sure! lol
How do I spot-weld a light frame and an ironing board please? What tools do I need for the small piece.. One is like a thinnish wire and the other is a +-3cm bracket that came lose. I would really appreciate your assistance

Hey mat what's going on with project pilehouse ?
Can you do some videos using the mp140i welders
Great shot of those spot welds. You should probably back up. It was hard to see with the camera that close….
I use copper bronze welding primer hardly no splater other tip is clean grinding or oil contamination before using weild heat primer
I have a 130 flux core mig which I changed to D.C.

how do you set your welder so you don't blow holes
what is the longest extension cord for 220 would you use.And when you spot weld a bed panel do you skip every other hole to weld to stop warp age
Well, we sell a 40ft one, so I'd say that's a good place to start. Ultimately, if you find you're not able to penetrate your weld pieces with the same settings as when directly plugged into an outlet (or at all even when compensating), you'll have to adjust accordingly. One of those things you'll discover with more experience.
1970 Boss Mustang , while mig welding I keep getting burn back into my welding tip. Amps seem ok and the Argon mix is at 15psi. What could I be doing wrong. Thanks.
Burn back is very common. It results when a weld forms in the contact tip. It usually occurs when the wire is fed too slowly or the MIG gun is held too close to the base metal. To correct burn back, increase the wire feed speed and lengthen the distance of the MIG gun from the workpiece.
Eastwood makes notebooks, is that 20 Amp book or 30 Amp?

You mention "turn it up" several times. Is that the heat "F", the speed "4" or both?

Will the spot weld nozzle tip work on a Lincoln 180?
It will work with Tweco consumables, which I believe Lincoln uses. The Spot Weld nozzles threads / screws onto the torch.
Ok. The reason I'm asking is I bought your spot welding kit but the nozzle doesn't screw onto the gun well at all. It feels like it's cross threading and won't screw on all the way down. Any ideas?
what is lapping an how it is done
Why no welding coat?

if your restoring a expensive car just buy a spot welder, a diy spot welder cost around 500 bucks and will weld up to 2+2mm, comon car uses 1mm or 1.2mm metal sheet, so you're good with a diy spot welder, much better than plug weld with a mig.
This tool is designed for the guy who doesn't want to spend $500 or much more for something he may only use a few times. For about $35 or less, this kit will be very helpful for a lot of people.
Jp 135 excella n t video
News Flash Someone has invented welders that specialize in spot welds. They do a much nicer job.
Ummm.....yeah. He stated that in the video.
No project at this time
Could be a nice video if the camera man was a little more attentive
Sound and video are way off

Maybe its just that this video is 7 years old, but like c'mon - who does spot welds flat on the welding table, that allows massive heat shrink away from sheet metal, allowing you to use higher amps to weld. Try these settings done on the weld table with the sheets in the air and you will just blow holes. I get any experienced welder will know this, but when a video is titled "how to" its assumed this is a tutorial for beginners who don't know, and not even a mention about this nuisance from the professionals here..
too much talking and the camera doesn't show the stuff a lot
nice tutorial , too bad its such terrible video quality. like watching a satellite tv channel in a bad storm !
Can’t see shit in your video. Trying to show welds from 5 feet away.
