Looking at a Miller 330 A/BP set up for Tig & Stick. Comes with water cooled torch, stick set up, and Miller 2 cooler. I know its a big machine but that's about it. It's a single phase 220 set up, but don't know what size breaker i need. Currently I have a 30 amp breaker for my Lincoln 225 AC stick, and air compressor. Seems to work fine is that big enough for this? Oh ya he wants $500.00 For it. Any other pros & cons would be helpful. Thanks, 66plymouthLast edited by 66plymouth; 12-10-2011 at 04:01 PM.
Reply:500 is perfectly reasonable, but I pop my 50 amp now and again. full power requires 107 amp available, so 30 would not get you enough power output for over 1/8"Dynasty 200DXPassport plus w/ spoolmate 100victor 315c oxy/(act and prop)Miller digital elitemilwaukee power tools
Reply:Thanks Turk. Other than that are they good machines? Is it to much for home use? Thanks, 66plymouth
Reply:No such thing as "to much"! Yes, they're great machines, also run 7018 very nice. I hard wired mine right to a 90-amp breaker.Dont pay any attention to meIm just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400
Reply:Workhorse!I run mine on 100 amp hardwire and have zero issues with it..Once you get it dialed in to your liking I think you will love the machine.....zap!I am not completely insane..Some parts are missing Professional Driver on a closed course....Do not attempt.Just because I'm a dumbass don't mean that you can be too.So DON'T try any of this **** l do at home.
Reply:I'd buy it at that price and don't need one. Manuals are free downloads:http://www.millerwelds.com/service/ownersmanuals.php
Reply:Awesome machine, I had one. They are huge and weigh almost 1/2 ton on a cart and with accessories. They are very power efficient relative to other transformer machines. I ran on 100 amp circuit and never popped a breaker, several folks here have them and run them at low and medium power setting on 50amp breakers with no issues. 30 is not really enough.Tiger Sales: AHP Distributor www.tigersalesco.comAHP200x; AHP 160ST; MM350P, Spoolmatic 30A; Everlast PowerTig 185; Thermal Dynamics 60i plasma.

Reply:Agreed, Awesome Machine! I aqquired one a couple years ago from a guy that owed me $100. I haven't TIGGED with it yet but it stick welds great! Buy it.
Reply:I've had one for forty years, bought it new. Very rarely will you need to run it on high range. I have a sixty amp breaker on mine and I keep it on mid range, very sweet machine!By the way, if you want to keep it clean, mount it on a stand off the floor. Mine still looks new on the inside.MILLER 330 AB/PMILLER GOLD STAR 130KUBOTA BX24CASE MINI HAY PRESSBENCH MILLHYPERTHERM 45BABY HOSSFELD |
