A friend of mine bought a Century Quick Fix 120 volt wire feed machine at a garage sale. He doesn't know how to weld. I am going to teach him. I have a Lincoln 125 Plus. The Century has only two heat settings and the wire is electrically hot when the machine is on, even when the trigger isn't pulled. The Lincoln has both heat and wire speed settings. Anyway, no matter what the wire speed is on the Century it just welds kind of jerkily. The wire fed smoothly but the voltage seemed to vary. The Lincoln welds super smooth. So smooth in fact that I am not going to let my friend try it so that he won't know how bad his machine really is. When he can make good welds with the Century I'll let him try the Lincoln. Just to make him envious. The Lincoln really is a good machine. ERS
