Anything welding

Auto loader...those boys are set up to produce!

Imagine getting all your tube laser cut. No more trying to use a hole saw on pipe. LOL.

 

Do a lot of welding at my college, they have a nice metal working room with all the bells and whistles. They have a bunch of the Lincoln invertec V205 ac/dc tigs. A lot of fun, anyhoo, I'm saving up to buy a tig, and was looking at the miller diversion 180, for my applications it's perfect, nothing thick, mostly sheet metal and aluminum. Anyone have any other suggestions for around the same price?

 

wait so it's basically a laser tube notcher?! Awesome!

 

It notches! It cuts designs! You could sign your name in pipe

 

Oh yeah bud that thing is bad ass!!! I'm going to have all my slider legs and notched sections done on the laser to save me time.

Oh those guys... I saw one of their flyers last week down at the CNC waterjet shop over here. Apparently one of their sales people was looking for gaining business from up here in Reno. Pretty sweet!

Is that a decent welder? I'm mainly looking to do small projects around the house, welding my sliders on, maybe build a rear bumper.

I have an older fender guitar ill see if he would trade for.

 

Never heard of Cornwell but that is NOT a Hobart welder. I have one and the face looks nothing like that. Also a brand new Hobart 190 is only $700ish, that looks overpriced to me

 

I paid A LOT less for the guitar, but cornwell is a tool manufacturer like matco.

Would it be a decent welder though?

 

He probably has the torch head and ground clamp but I don't see either in the picture and for never being plugged in, there's sure a lot of wire sticking out of it.

 

Here it is on cornwells site, doesn't say its 110 compatible there.

But honesty I have like $280 in this guitar...

 

It doesnt look too bad, especially for $280 lol. they def have their product overpriced new but if you could pick it up for that it may not be a bad deal. As said above make sure he has the leads and anything needed to get warranty if it breaks

 

If there's no MIG gun, you're looking at 200$ to replace it. Maybe another 40$ for a ground clamp. If that stuff is missing, I'd be really curious about the rest of the unit.

IDK. If it were me, I'd probably not buy/trade for it.

 

K, thanks for the advice guys!

 

I agree that I would be very careful. Maybe even ask for a receipt to make sure he really bought it

 

Nice looking weld Adam!

 

Nice! I tried out my new welder the other day and could tell right away that it's been a year since I welded anything. uugh.

 

Pulled my LE Mig pak 140 out today and voila, it doesnt work. No arc. the fan runs and unit turns on but even straint to ground clamp I have no arc. WTF the unit is less than one year old and had been used less than one hour. Im planning to weld on my rock sliders eventually, would be nice if this worked.

 

Did you check the connections for the gun under the wire feed to make sure they were plugged in? Where you change the polarity.
