can i use a miller wire feeder with my hobart Stickmate® LX 235 AC / 160 DC? if yes which would you recommend? sorry i screwed up on the title.
Reply:You could run a Suitcase VS on your stick welder, but you will spend more on the feeder than you will on a real mig welder and have poorer welding results with the stick welder and wire feeder than you will with a real mig welder.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op

Reply:Because you'll be trying to mig with constant current rather than with constant voltage. Mig power supplies have constant voltage output, whereas stick and tig power supplies have contant current output.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
