New to welding ... want learn ... hobby/crafts only... signing up for night classes soon. Want to weld square tube 1/2" to 4" (14 ga to .125") & round tube/pipe to 2" (thin to SCH 40). Lumber racks, tables, BBQ stands, gadgets, etc . . .Getting ready to buy Millermatic 251. The M25 gun that comes with it can be swapped for a BERNARD gun.Need suggestions as to what configuration would be best for my intended uses. BERNARD lets you build the exact gun you want and length of hose.Would appreciate any suggestions as to what would be the best combination for my intended use. Not to worried about "down the road applications" or "what if application". Most concerned with my intended use.By the way it's really nice lurking here . . .Thanks Steve
Reply:I think you will like the bernard gun. I always go for the 15 footers, but some curse them. I keep the liner clean and don't kink it. I have had a lincoln 300 amp 15' gun for 20 years. Still using it. I clean the liner every 50 lbs of wire or so. I have replaced the liner a few times. GET the hook that hangs up the gun. Handy as heck.DavidReal world weldin. When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.
Reply:I like smaller guns, so I'd probably go with a Q-150 or Q-200, in a 12' length, with a QT2-45 conductor tube, Miller plug, with Centerfire consumables. Either gun should hold up fine for what you want to do. You can configure your gun online at www.bernardwelds.com |
