Which Suitcase Would You keep?

admin

Looking for some opinions.  Just picked up a Miller Xtreme 12VS for a very fair price. Functional, has meters, definitely rough on the outside.I have a S22P12 without meters, but with remote voltage.  It's super clean.  I have the 14 pin extension cord for it.  Power supply is a Cc/Cv XMT 304.   I like the Xtreme for the meters and the CC option.  I can take it to my friends yard and run FC off his Bluestar.   I like the S22 because it's clean, works great, and can remotely change my voltage.  The resale value on the Xtreme will be higher.  I'd profit on the sale.  I'd be lucky to break even on the S22.  I'm a hobby guy only.  Opinions?TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum

Reply:Like everyone said, keep both.The s22 is really a shop feeder, handles bigger rolls of wire.  The 12vs is truly a "suitcase" feeder, portable and can run on cc and cv supplies.  You didn't say what welding machine you intend to use these with.For a "hobby" guy either would be great, you need to ask yourself what kind of work you intend to do and what you want to have for equipment in the next few years.  Therein lies your answer.Wish I had your dilemma."The reason we are here is that we are not all there"SA 200Idealarc TM 300 300MM 200MM 25130a SpoolgunPrecision Tig 375Invertec V350 ProSC-32 CS 12 Wire FeederOxweld/Purox O/AArcAirHypertherm Powermax 85LN25
Reply:Let me help with the decision....I'll give you $100 AND pay shipping for the s22p12
Reply:I'll give you $100 and pay shipping the the 12vs...You decide!For a hobby welder, you have heavy industrial equipment with an xmt 304 and a suitcase feeder!Suite package though.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720
Reply:Yeah, like my toys.  The Xtreme arrived last night.  Looks like it sat in mud all day and had showers of sparks flying all over it.  Definitely rough as can be.  Good news is its clean inside and is a 2011 machine by build date.  I have to clean the whole thing up. Works fine.Got around 20# of 1/16 ESAB Dualshield wire and a Tregakiss gun to boot.TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum
Reply:What is the CC mode best used for?I know it can't adjust the speed fast enough to mimic SC Mig,  so what kind of wire do you use if u only have a CC source?  Only flux core?  Only heavy Dual Shield?  Spray arc only?Is this a case where regular SC mig will be ok, but just not as great as a CV machine?TA Arcmaster 300CM3XMT 304S22P12 suitcase feederX-Treme 12VSOptima pulserTA161SMaxstar 150STLHypertherm PM45OP setupStihl 020AVP, 039, 066 Magnum
