new welding machine advice

admin

Ok I've decided I'm going to make a new welding machine purchase around December 8th.  I'm going to do one of 3 things and i cant make up my mind.  I already have a 250 am AC/DC stick welder.  Anyway I cant decide if I should get a Thermal Arc Fabricator 252i or saving a bit more and getting a Millermatic 211 and a Maxstar 200 or the 150.  I really am liking the Thermal Arc however I also like the Millers.  I may even do the Thermal Arc and a Maxstar 150.  6010 is not required as I'm not welding code.
Reply:Do you use a translator to write your post? I suspect English is not your primary language, don't worry it's not mine to... I will try to help you from what I understand...You want to buy a welding machine around December 8, you already got a 250 amp AC/DC stick welder so what you need it's a MIG and a TIG. You’re not fix yet about what to purchase. You like the TA Fabricator 252i ($1950) and a Miller "Combo" composed of a 211 Millermatic and a Maxtar DC TIG ($2500 for the 211/150) .Don't forget to add to the price all accessories you need  (AKA TIG torch/Spool gun/Foot control) I never been a big fan of Mutiprocess Welders but many have try them and are inpress, The new Miller Multimatic got good review and TA unit got plenty of fan too. Between those two brand name I stick with Miller but I have to admit the Fabricator 252i offert a lot more for a extra $100 over the Multimatic 200..I hope owners or testers help you make up your mind.Good LuckLast edited by OldSkull; 11-15-2012 at 02:03 PM.Miller MM211Esab Mini Arc 161LTSEsab Handy Plasma 380Duck tapeTy- rapKool-aid
