I am wondering something about the output of Migs. I have a Miller 210 and also have a 140 that I bought for one recent job (the job alone paid for the Mig ).I've noticed that the 140 tends to perform much better at thinner 24 and 22 guage material than the 210 ever did. I've also noticed that the 210 does much better at 1/4" than the 140 does.My questions are about the rated output of these welders and how they perform at that output, either high or low end. In other words, do welders not perform as well at their upper and lower limits than one that has room to spare, or is this just a myth? It makes sense to me, sorta like having a Hyndai and pushing it at 100mph vs. a 600hp muscle car doing the same thing. I've only used the maximum capability of my 210 once, and most of the time I never go above 5 on the tap switch. Would a 180 perform as well at its maximum output as say, my 210 does at tap 5 (Which I think is around 180 amps) ??KevLast edited by Dkevdog; 07-30-2007 at 01:58 AM.Miller 210 and 140 MigsBernard Q-Torches on bothMiller Syncrowave 200Spoolmate 3035 for sale, excellent condtion- PM for detailsThermal Dynamics 38XLShop OutFitters 20/20 Bending SystemLots of other cheap and not so cheap tools Still have LOTS to learn, but got some nice stuff to learn on!
Reply:Not sure about all the ratings and performances but we had some pretty good discussions going on the output of the 110 mig welders. I can only add a short part here from my experiences. I believe the 110 migs do a better job on sheet metal for one reason. I think they have less hitting power when you first start the bead. After the arc is started I think they are about the same. I personally only use 110 migs for sheet metal for this reason. You might also find that the heat setting are off a little so when you think you are comparing the same amps, you actually are not. Hope this helps some.Miller DVI2Lincoln Precision Tig 225Thermodynamics Cutmaster 38Everything else needed.
Reply:I think the 110v migs have different inductance than the bigger ones. Both of your welders shine in their application. Regardless of what it says on the panel, I think most 110v migs will only put out 100 amps at a reasonable welding voltage. 19v?DavidReal world weldin. When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:The 110-120V MIG machines are usually good to very-good at sheet metal thickness workpieces.The 210 will absolutely out-power the MM140 on thick stuff, to the MM140 'thick' starts at about 1/8 inch and the 210 won't even be breathing hard at that thickness. For 1/4 inch thickness workpieces, the 210 will easily do that and still be at a much greater duty cycle than the MM140 would be on 1/8 inch work!Sometimes you need the big hammer or machine, and sometimes the smaller one is the proper tool for the job. |
