Anything welding

Nice Welds. I like how you layed them smooth vs stacking... Much Harder to do imo.

 

Each day the material would weld different, Being production i'd have to keep consistency as i would have to weld up a left or a right side too.. So i'd review gaps and after time knew where i was going to have gaps with what ever product i was welding and if the gap was tiny and machine/material was metling good i'd weld smooth, if i had gaps i'd have to weave and apply a pattern and make the weld bigger if one side had a small gap and other matching part have a 1/4" gap.. you know.. The hard part was 180* welds that had to start at the bottom and run up word back to down ward and so.. keeping weld convex and uniform.

 

Cool I didn't find that info. I want one BAD! Im just going to buy one.. the time it would take to think about how I would make one I would be better off buying one (maybe unless its a total POS). Time is money. Would be cool to make it more of a folding flat(ish) packed square version.

 

Exactly. All the little details. Takes a lot of practice to get consistently good at any position/fit thrown at you. They say "get comfortable" I say just weld it!

 

I've been wanting to try a 350p for aluminum welding. The pulse settings are supposed to make the welding process easier.

 

The 350p is awesome for aluminum. And even better if you set it up with a push/pull instead of a spool gun.

 

I know.

That's my dream set up. I'm trying to get my local Air Gas to let me demo one of these units when I built my next drift boat.

 

To bad your not closer

350P and the Aluma pro lite is a sweet set up

Do you know who your Miller rep is ?? They are the one who most often authorize the Demo units

Don`t do it you will never use the 30A again

 

Has anybody used/owned a Hobart 210MVP? I'm considering it

 

Yes its what I own and use

 

It’s what I have as my first welder and I like it.

 

Eyes closed?

 

Lol! Yea pretty much. Those were the first couple welds I ever did

 

Thats pretty good for first time burnin metal

 

Thank you, I bought the welder to assemble and install as set of sliders so that was good project to learn on. Still have much to refine

 

Sorry, lost track of this thread.

Yep, I know my rep. He happens to be a good friend of mine as well as the district manager (90 percent of lower Michigan). And he lives 6 blocks from me.

He said the same thing to me. I'm afraid to try it now. If I do I'll have to buy the damn thing.

 

I'm confused. Is this post negative or positive?

For a 1st timer, this is pretty respectable.

A bit heavy on the wire, but otherwise very nice.

 

I couldn’t figure that out if that was a douchey thing he said or not as well lol

 

Hey man. I think you’ll be super happy with the Hobart 210. I have that machine and it’s been great! Build all my sliders with it.

 

If your buying New Go for the Hobart 210MVP!!

I see so many used that are trashed that people want almost new prices
