I was wondering if anyone could point out some examples of popular Mig welder models
used in shops to weld brackets/cages etc.
Thanks.

I have 220V ready to go. Miller does seem very popular.
I'm looking at the "Millermatic 211". I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link. What do you guys think of the specs ? Or save up for 212 which is like 600$ more ? I was hoping to be completely set up for under 1500$usd.
I own the Miller 211 and am very happy with it. I have used it on many of my build projects, including my bumper. You would not be disappointed.

Question for you experienced welders...if I don't have access to a 220v outlet (apartment garage) is it still worth it to get a lower voltage welder ?
Can't go wrong with a Miller. The one thing I have heard about the Millermatic is that the "auto adjust feature" will be close, but you will get better results if you set the heat and feed manually. I kinda think of it as a crutch for beginners that will make you not fully understand what machine is doing. I don't see much benefit to having the 212 aside from being able to run big spools, and you have 5' more reach on your stinger. The 211 can run .024 wire (without buying additional rollers) which makes body work much nicer if you ever get into that.
Great to hear!
Do you have a picture of your bumper by any chance ? Sounds interesting.
