Who owns what?

admin

I have a 200sm, a 550smp, two wire feeders(power drive 2), and a push/pull wire feeder. Dunno the model# off hand.Who uses their stuff often?
Reply:I have a 300 SM in a blue case that I keep at a neighbors farm.  It is only used a few times a year and saves me dragging something there when needed.  I really don't like the way this machine welds but it gets by.I also have a 300 ST in the shop that is used a little more often.  My go to machine is my XMT 304 or my Trailblazer 301G.  The power switch being on the back of a Powcon is a PITA with how my welders stationed.  My Powermax 45 even has the the seitch on the back.

I also own a HF 80 amp inverter. It may be a cheap piece-o-crap, but has saved hours of lost production on the construction site.

Reply:300 SM that is mostly used for dual shield wire.
Reply:400 SMT.  Used mostly for field repairs joining fine stainless wires (.047 to .047, .062 to .062).  Because the machine is stable down in the 12 amp range, it has worked out great for that really fine work in ugly places.  Can't have too much coffee before doing those welds, though.  But damn, I sure wish it had a HF start instead of that scratch crap.
Reply:Hello all, new to the forum as a poster. I run a 300st almost daily. Very portable in our shop. And it does carbon gouging!  I'm after a 400sm or a 300 eventually!Last edited by stevenopolis; 01-16-2015 at 11:32 AM.Powcon 300st (my favorite)Miller Goldstar 600ssLincoln Idealarc 400/400Miller 12vs2 LN25'sMiller Deltaweld 302Miller Bobcat 250 G EFIMiller Bobcat 225d Plus (Dropped a valve, up soon)Everlast 255ext (ordering soon!)
