With my very old transformer type welder, if I was not going to be welding for 10-15 mins. or longer, I would shut it off (actually, not even sure if that was the right thing to do). I now have a new Lincoln Power Mig 210 MP with the fancy digital, user interface screen. When I turn it on, it acts kinda like a computer booting up. So I feel like maybe I should leave it on longer, rather than keep switching it on and off. Problem is, sometimes that 15 mins. turns into an hour or more if I'm cutting some steel that doesn't fit up right or whatever. What do you guys do ? And, for that mater, was I OK with the old welder? Thanks, JR49
