Hi, I've got a Miller 120/220 volt. Can't remember the model off-hand. You won't get enough power to cut anything over about an 1/8" thick at most out of 120 volts. I've been running mine at 120 just for the portability but you need 220 to get anywhere neear the machine specs for performance. I've found 120 works OK for car gauge sheet metal though, which is most of what I've used it for.

I've looked over a bunch of them on ebay. A couple of questions for anyone that has one or used one.> Some of them come with 120/220 input. Does the 120 model work good?> Most of the ones I've been looking at usually have a "40 something" model or "50 something" model, like 40DX & 50DX. Are the 50's that much better?> What do you have?> I would be cutting up mostly thin sheet metal.> Thanks,> Cal _________________________________________________________________ Helping your favorite cause is as easy as instant messaging.
