Anything welding

You can get a 212 new for that price.

 

what should i offer them? 800? might go check it out this week some time

 

Agreed.
Or a brand spankin new 211 with autoset and mvp for $900.

 

Price seems fair with the gas. I'd want to know testing status of the bottle too. If you have to pay hydro on top of asking, it's way too high.

 

Different machines.

I guess a better question is what do you want to do with it?

 

i want to build bumpers, and just different projects. Lights fabrication stuff.

 

Then the 211 is probably a better choice.

 

That sucks.

 

Yeah he was pretty bad off the last few months he was alive.

 

Been looking at these welders for a bit. looking for a multi process unit that is 110/220 optional. Exact same parts and pieces that all the familiar name brand welders use. 5 year warranty protection, ect. Income tax will kick back a nice chunk,,so maybe.

My cart is almost done, well enough to be usable.



Still need a handle, some hooks, and something to go on the bottom.

 

To the people in the feild, how's this look, Flat V-groove, 6010 root, 7018 hot and cap. Im in school learning the trade.

Top


Back

 

I'm not in the field but to me, the top looks good but the back looks like it might be cold in a few spots. Again, I'm no expert.

Jason--your cart looks cool!

 

is this a good deal?

How can i tell if the bottles are legit? not airgas rentals trying to be passed off as owned. I dont want to go in to fill it up and have it be taken

 

I think the rental tanks have 'Rental' cast into the top of the bottles, and sometimes even the name of the store its from if its an independent store. If its an owner tank, it wont have any of that.

 

Is that a decent welder for the price? Im not going to be welding super thick material, just light fabrication like a bumper for my truck and projects for friends.

 

Looks like they go for around $500-600 new + tank and cart so I think its fair.

 

i think i might go check it out tomorrow, it cant hurt. I would love to have a miller 211, i just cant afford it. It has a 20% duty cycle. So is that for every hour i can weld 15 mins?

 

12minutes. But on a lot of little projects it'll be run a few welds(like 5 minutes of trigger time) then fit some more pieces(allowing machine to cool), then weld some more, etc so for a beginner/hobbyist that probably isnt a deal breaker.
