Hello, looking at buying my first mig welder, way over do ! I still gas weld like there's no tomorrow, even hammer weld old school style, and used to stick weld years ago. That should give you a hint of my age. So what do you guys recommend ? I will be using it for body work and light fabrication at home. 115 outlet use a must. Am leaning toward the Miller 135. Please give me the pros and cons. Thanks, Jesse
Reply:140 - tapped voltage = easier to dial in - cheaper - Wire Speed tracking actually helps the machine work.135 - variable voltage= more difficult for beginners, but can be a must for certain applications with experienced operators. - Wire Speed Tracking can get in the way ( it doesn't bother me on mine except with aluminum.) - a little more heavy duty- more metal and less plastic Unless you just like BLUE, the HH 140 is the better deal. Both are practically the same machine, made by the same company in the same plant. The Hobart may be the hobby version, but it is just as tough and capable, plus easier to use. If you like BLUE, to make the MM 135 easier to use, just treat it like a tapped machine and use the wire speed to dial it in. The door chart will get you close to the ball park. Start there and dial it in.
Reply:I love my MM175, so the 135 would be good, however, if you are going to do sheetmetal work, the 140 will go lower.... |
