Miller x-12 suitcase hooked up to Miller bobcat 250

admin

Just want to get some general info on how to set it up and what not. I have 035 wire in it right now and hooked up to a bottle. But just a little confused on how to adjust amperage and everything on it. Welding thicker stuff is beautiful but thin metal is giving me a hell of a time so. Any info it appreciated.

Reply:What gas, 75/25 or pure CO2?  How thin of stuff? For thin metal you should use thinner wire..0.30 or 0.24. smaller the better on lite gauge.Miller TrailBlazer 251Miller HF-250-1Miller MaxStar 150 STLHyperTherm PowerMax 380 plasmaLincoln PowerMig 180Millermatic 252Miller Diversion 180
Reply:If it's a voltage sensing wire feeder running on CC current it's not going to work very well at lower voltages as in short circuit MIG. Welding thicker material runs over about 21 volts or so not a problem.
Reply:You need to have the bobcat and feeder in CV mode first of all. The bobcat 250 says its adjustable from 17-28v, so you are really not going to be welding anything too thin. Reference the chart below (or something similar) and set the voltage on the welder, and the wire feed speed on the feeder to your material thickness. Should get you in the ballpark so you can fine tune from there. Just like a regular MIG welder except the controls are in 2 different places.
