Miller 211 any good?

admin

I will be welding mild steel as well as aluminum no thicker than 3/8 would this machine along with the spool gun be a good purchase? Or is there a comparable Lincoln that may be better?  I like the price that is for sure!!http://cgi.ebay.com/MILLER-MILLERMATIC-211-W-AS-SG-MIG-WELDER-PKG-907422_W0QQitemZ350161841726QQcmdZViewItemQQptZBI_  Welders?hash=item350161841726&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14  &_trkparms=72%3A1205|66%3A2|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1  318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50Thanks for any info.
Reply:The welds I will be doing are for little projects that I hope to sell for an at home (garage) type of business by the way.
Reply:looks like a great welder i like thats its 115 and 230you can hook up a spoolgun and 74lbsand cyberweld sells it for $970.00no shipping or tax
Reply:I think it's still too new for any of us to have actual experience with it, but it appears that it would do the job you describe.  The price is hard to beat for a 210-amp dual-voltage semi-portable spoolgun-ready mig welder.  I think Miller has a real winner on their hands with the new Millermatic 211.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I agree. I think they got a winner too. Im looking into buying this later on. I hate to go from red to blue but im liking the 110v/230v on the 211. Alot of my welding is with 110 but i could use the 230. Seems like a reasonable price too!Ya gotta spend money to make money!
Reply:You will love the dual input voltage if you use the machine on mobile jobs.  I like that feature on my Passport.  I think the 211 will be a great lower-priced, yet higher-output (on 220v) alternative to the Passport, with the only penalty being the 211 is a bit heavier to carry around.   Someone on the Miller board posted that the 211 has Passport-like arc quality.  If that's true, you will love welding with it!MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:Found it for $970 online, the shop up the street from me charges $999.00, but he said he would fill the tank for free, so in the end that will save me $15 dollars off the total to get it going!!! Ordered today should be 3-5 days, I will let you all know how it is, THANK YOU ALL a thousand times for all the help.
Reply:Congrats on the new machine!   You'll probly be the first on here to own one!   Let us know how you like it.  MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:I just checked the ad to be sure the spool gun was also a part of the package.  Yup.  You're getting a good deal.I bought my Plasma Cutter from Indiana Oxygen.  I have no complaints from them.  In fact, they were $200 less than my LWS with the shipping, for the same machine.
Reply:PAWeldor, who is selling it with the spoolgun and for how much?MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
Reply:Sounds like Indiana Oxygen, a big Ebay welding retailer and storefront retailer in Indianapolis, IN.  I bought a Victor torch kit from them and was very happy with the service and price.Benson's Mobile Welding - Dayton, OH metro area - AWS Certified Welding Inspector
