New Machine

admin

I just wanted to thank everyone here on the forum. I've read a lot of the the post and and gave it a lot of thought for the purchase of a wire welding machine.I was looking at the 110v Lincoln weld paks at Lowes and Home Depot, no offense but deep down I wanted a Millermatic. My wife and I don't have a lot of disposable income, so I thought for sure the Miller was out of the question. Spoke with my wife about wanting to finally purchase a welding machine and lay out the different options and my wife's reply was we cannot afford to buy cheap and buy it again. After a lot of research here on the forum I purchased a Millermatic 211 with the spoolgun while the Miller rebates were still in effect. Just wanted to say thanks to all the great members here and a special thanks to my wonderful and understanding wife. As soon as I start a project I will be sure and post with photos.Regards James

Reply:Be smart, get her a little something that you know she wants, and buy it out of your own pocket not the family budget. Doesn't need to big atall.   And don't link it, just say U saw it and knew she'd want it. ** 42 years and counting,  Here's to Texas gals they R the best fore shore. enjoy, BLincoln Power MIG 215Lincoln WeldPak 3200HDLincon ProCut 25Lincoln WeldanPower 225 AC/DCIf all else fails... buy more tools
