I agree with most of what RSTYCHY said.However,for the most part I wouldn't worry quite so much about the duty cycle.I don't think too many home projects require 2-3 mins. of actual weld time for every 10 mins..
It's true that most times the amps the machine is rated for is at a reduced d.c..
I'm also true blue as far as any and all electric welders go (don't care for lincoln electrics).When it comes to portables,I run a Lincoln 300d on the rig and I wouldn't trade it for any other brand that I've used in the past.
Got the 251 huh?Gotta admit I'm jealous,I like my 210 alot but I really wanted the 251. hehe.
