Listen to this... Brandi tells me that I should go ahead and get the 180 because it's "only" $140 more, and if I get the 140 she think's I'll wish that I had gotten the 180 and end up having to buy another one later on down the road. I love my wife!

Keep her at all cost Steven!

I would go with the best one you can get the first time. I am going to have to buy another one when I start the chassis for the 49 because I DIDNT buy the biggest one I could get. The one I have works great but it wont do everything I will need it to do later down the road.

I just bought a Hobart Handler 210 about 6 monthes ago and so far I'm very pleased with it. One reason i got it is for the ability to plug a spool gun right in and go to welding.

Guess what I picked up today?





I didn't like their helmets or carts at AirGas, and they wouldn't sell me a tank outright, they only do rentals. So I probably won't be welding anything this weekend, but MAN, I am pumped!

Sweet, cant wait to see some welds!

Shiny!!!

Sweet Steven! Glad you got the one you wanted.

Nice, Steven. Hurry up and get the helmet,cart and tank and start some weldin'!

The helmet and everything else is on it's way. Don't you hate waiting for shipping?

Steven you are going to love that rig, it was a good choice.

I know I'm bringing up an old one, but after enclosing my garage and then getting it wired between trips offshore, I have finally struck an arc with my Miller. All I can say is that with the Autoset on, ANYBODY can weld like a professional. It's been at least 12-13 years since I've welded anything, and I was so excited to try it out that I didn't even clean the edges of the metal, and it still looks like a professional welded it. Needless to say, if anybody is looking for recommendations on a welder, I'd say Miller all the way.

Congrats on the welder, I was wondering how the autoset feature would work. Would love to trade my old mig in on a shiny new blue one.

Thats good to hear Steven, now I just need to round up a trailer to bring some "chassis" stuff over for you to break it in real good! Just kidding you bro!

I like how that is set up and being able to weld up to 5/16 is more than you should ever need, one case where having more power is always better. Ever since you bought this one I have been waiting to hear how you liked it. I bought the smaller lincoln wire feed about 8 years ago and outgrew it 6 months after I bought it. It still works great, but its time to get a better welding rig that I can do more with.

Thanks for the update!

I'm glad to hear that the Miller is doing just what you want it too, Steven. Like Scott, I would love to have a new one, but I'll have to stick with my 'ol Lincoln a while longer!
