Miller 350P question

admin

Hi guys, I have an opportunity to get a Miller 350P for a VERY low price.  Question I have is how good is it on thinner metals like sheet and so forth ?  I doubt that I will ever use to weld at 1/2" or larger, but when the opportunity does arise, I thought it would be a great to have a machine with the capability.  I especially like the idea of trying the pulse mode.  ever had even tried a machine with that type of capability.I did a search, and could not find much regarding this machine.  Any feedback ?  Pics of welds etc would be greatly appreciated

Reply:Thanks.  I saw that 22ga.  I'm just wondering if its any good at that gauge steel.  Its one thing to be rated, its another if its not in the sweat spot.

Reply:never thought about using a spool gun and smaller wire.  Can you use spool guns with mig wire ?  I thought AL wire is softer and mig wire would have issues
Reply:yes! thats why the small rolls --not just for little weldersand alum.wire does work best in Spoolguns a shorter distance to travelsome have had luck with short whips kept as straight as possibleif going to do alum use a SG less haedachesLast edited by prop-doctor; 11-21-2011 at 02:46 PM.idealarc 250/250 ac-dc tigidealarc 250/250 ac-dc tig #2 used for sticklincoln sp100hh125dual arbor grinder polisher30 yrs of hand tools52 pitch blocks 6p-26prake gauge -pitch gaugeG&D prop repair 918-207-6938Hulbert,okla 74441
