is this a decent trade??

admin

I have the opportunity to trade my lincoln precision tig 225 all setup for a miller 330 a/bp in good shape that is set up for tig with pedal water cooler and new weldcraft torch, now there will be some cash coming my way also just wondering how much i need to get for this to b a fair trade the reason im wanting this machine is for the increased amps and the water cooler not to mention the cash. I run my own welding business with tig compromising about 5to10% of my yearly revenue at the most but i do use my 225 ocasionally for stick welding but that is not a must, just wondering what some of your guys thoughts who have used these machines and know what they are worth thank you for any input in advance.RS
Reply:As long as everything works on the 330, its a great trade,  however I am Bias as I own one.   Ask Zapster though.   Its his machine of choice and if you look at some of his work, it will prove how capable of a machine it is in the right hands...You are really going from a small transformer to a big transformer.   getting a water cooler and some cash on top of it.   they are bullet proof reliable too!!On the right set of wheels they move around pretty easy.   however, keep in mind they weigh about 850lbs..Last edited by soutthpaw; 01-21-2013 at 09:29 PM.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250

Reply:Yeah several folks run in on the medium setting on a 50 amp breaker.  I am on a 100 amp circuit and can weld on KILL no problem..  amp for amp its more efficient than his lincoln. or a Dialarc for that matter.. probably due to the huge amount of copper in it.Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
Reply:I believe I'm on a 60 amp now but we are getting ready to do some more work on my shop (add 220/110 outlets) so if I get this deal done getting 100 amp service shouldn't b a problem. I just wanted to make sure I was getting a good trade value and function wise.
Reply:You are getting the better end of the deal for sure...Tiger Sales:  AHP Distributor    www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P,  Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.  For Sale:  Cobra Mig 250 w/ Push-pull gun.  Lincoln Wirematic 250
