I've had several "low cost" MIG's over the years. what will add up with time is the cost of the parts you WILL have to replace. And availability. If the Century uses common parts I'd say give it a try. What you will have to replace, in order of wear, is: Contact tips(lots), sheild nozzle, and cable liner. If you can't get the part (happened on my first one when I needed a liner) throw the whole thing away. I'm using a Lincoln now, and they use industry aftermarket standard Tweeko(yes thats the brand) parts. I have yet to find a welding supplier that did not carry Tweeko or Lincoln parts.Miller and Hobart are the 2 other major builders I have used.Miller parts seem to cost the most, but Hobart is a little harder to find but low cost.
