    Got a spool gun already on my Miller 250 that I will be able to swap over to this one. I see you been staying busy and all. Liking Reno and the surrounding areas? Will be heading up that way for Christmas, well going to Susanville anyways. But will be dropping off our son with his grandparents for New Years in Reno.

    Have a Merry Christmas Eric

    Probably not bumpers (maybe? ) but more likely things like suspension components in the future.





    Yeah I've got one on my older TA Fabricator but I've been wanting a 2nd one around the shop.
    Yeah Reno has been treating us well, and I've been busier than can even handle.
    You should swing into the shop when you're up around new years and say hey. Should have a lot around the shop to see.

    Sorry for the newb questions...

    Been reading all these posts/threads and just confused me more haha.

    Want to get into welding and no clue where to start or what I need. Mig, Tig, Stick, Gas, ???

    Wanting to weld smaller stuff for my motorcycle (crash bars, exhaust, etc) and bigger stuff for the truck possibly, like sliders, bumpers, exhaust as well or whatever.

    Can one welder do that range of stuff? Not looking to spend more than $500 for a setup. I've done some welding in school but that is pretty much long forgotten and don't remember anything about the machines.

    I would like to keep it 110 outlet.

    Thanks.

    I wouldn't trust the welds from one of those to make sliders or bumpers though. If you want to weld 3/16" and larger you are most likely going to need a pass on each side of the joint to get a strong weld. Look at the video I posted a little while back. It demonstrates the capabilities of the small under $500 units.

    I use a millermatic 140 works great for me...I welded many things with it. Lent it to my friend he welded the frame of his jeep with it. So I guess you can say its a good all around welder...you can find them on Craig'slist cheap just make sure you use gas unless you are just migging sheet metal .

    I have a millermatic 140 too and they are great little machines. For sheet metal you should use .025 wire with C25 (25% CO2/75% Argon) gas. Right now I just run what came with my machine, .030 wire and tank of co2 (got tank and co2 for free).

    I used flux core when I first got it, then I bought the gas and wire for it. I literally thought I was just a bad welder before I got this machine. Now if the weld comes out bad, I know it's just me:rolleyes:

    Hahaha well that's an awesome deal. Some people get discouraged from using flux core for that reason, and all they have to do is read a manual Lol

    Yup, I know he bought it from some crack head for 100 bucks, then thought it was broke. Simple fix, I also was given my Mac tools plasma cutter for free...it just needed to be hooked up properly. I love people that do not trouble shoot things.:)
