I love my Miller Blupak 45

admin

Hi guys, At work they laughed at me for keeping my Miller Blupak 45 mig set when everyone else was getting new water cooled Parweld sets.  For you guys that don't know the difference heres a stock picture of a miller blupak 45 Isn't that a thing of beauty ??Now they want to replace these excellent work horses with this!!! But the 2 new sets they bought NEW! have now packed up and my trusty miller is still working non stop.I've told them its a false economy to buy new, cheap when money would be better spent buying decent brand, secondhand.I've done so much with my Miller over the years, no one is going to make me change as long as theres life in the old girl.I've got a back up spare miller set and one of the guys that was using the Parweld welder asked me if he could use the spare set, I set him up and he told me before i went home if they get the parweld sets repaired he still wants to keep the Miller!Quality Speaks

Reply:That's the same way I feel about my old Miller Shopmaster and the S52 feeder unit. The machine is right at 30 years old and the feeder is even older than that.

Reply:Originally Posted by 7A749I can't find any US info on your machine Gerry. I'm guessing machines manufactured either overseas, or for overseas sales are a different division on Miller/ITW all together.I imagine its a standard SCR fired solid state power source. You feeder is very similar to the 22A unit sold here in the states. The Access is the closet thing I know of that resembles your machine that's sold stateside. It runs three phase only but only supplies 42 volts AC for operating a wire feeder, which is specially manufactured for use with that machine.Sounds like a reliable unit. I remember you looking for a board for your feeder awhile back. Those units have few problems.
Reply:Spec wise looks like a CP-302 with a 22A wire feeder would do nicely
