MM 210 or Power Mig 215 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

admin

Hey Guys _____ After some research and digging around, I finally narrowed my choice down to two machines, the Millermatic 210,or the  Lincoln Power Mig 215. It seem that for my needs (auto fab., bumpers, sliders ,cages  and some aluminum down the line )these  seem to fit the bill, also I don’t want to get a machine that’s not powerful enough then regret it down the road. So, what do you think?????? WHICH ONE ????????????_____ THANKS BAYRUNNER
Reply:I have a powermig 200 and really like it for my home shop stuff similar to what you want to do. What would influence me next time (and probably toward a MM210) is it costs an arm and a leg for the aluminum spool gun and adapter for my powermig (don't know about the powermig 215). The miller may be more straight forward.Sometimes miller puts the 210 on sale with a free spoolgun. If you can wait for that deal then I'd get the miller.I'd also look into what kind of local support there is from your local suppliers if there is a problem. My local guy was great on the powermig. They would have been great on the miller too. The hobart/miller website offers a lot of support. My personal experience with trying to get any info from Lincoln via their website is they PLAIN DON'T RESPOND.

Reply:The MM210 is spoolgun ready, too.  Hook it up, plug it in, hook up a gas cylinder to the spoolgun gas inlet, and pull the trigger - off ya go!  Gun-on-demand (a nice Miller feature) lets you use either the MIG gun or the spoolgun siply by pulling the trigger.  Dual gas solenoids on board!I love my MM210!
Reply:I got the Miller 210 with the spool gun.  I love it and would recommend it to any one.  It has more power than most people really need.   If you want the best get a miller.Lincoln 300 Vantage 2008300 Commander 1999SA250 1999SA200 1968Miller Syncrowave 200XMT350MPA/S-52E/xr-15Xtreme 12vs Millermatic 251 w/30A  Millermatic 251 Dialarc 250 Hypertherm 1250 GEKA & Bantom Ironwokers
