Miller 212AS

admin

Anyone have or use the new Miller 212AS?  Just curious as to how it performs and to its limitations.
Reply:I read over on the Miller forum , one of the Miller Tech guys saying that the 212AS has the exact same transformer and choke design as the older MM210 . They wanted to duplicate the older MM210 arc characteristics but update the machine with AS and a solid state contactor . I used to have a new MM210 and I liked it a lot . 3/8 was about it's limit on a single pass though . Nice smooth arc and it could just get into spray transfer if you ran the machine wide open ( short intervals though ) . The newer  MM212 would be even nicer with an infinite voltage control too ( the older MM210 had 7 taps ) .I think it would be pretty hard to go wrong with the MM212 . I looked VERY hard at this machine this week but ended up buying a new TA 210 Fabricator instead . More features , more power , more duty cycle , and some nice value addeds was what convinced me .Miller MM252 with Q300Hypertherm PM1000Everlast Powertig 200DXMiller Syncrowave 200
Reply:Thanks for the reply Tigster.  Today I broke the heart of a 212 but I gave a new home to the 252.
