and I love it, I sold my stinkin lincoln a while back and the coulpe Ive borrowed were lincolns and I just love the way a Miller welds over a lincoln, with the lincoln the guns and liners are touchy, the rollers for the wire are tiny and make for splattery starts and if your cord isnt layed out right the rollers have a hard time shoving the wire through.. these are the pro mig from home depot lincolns the not the power migs that they sell at the welding store so that has a lot to do with it. Plus I needed something of the 220v flavor so here she is all shiny and new, now I have no excuse to not finish my turd air bagged truck so I can sell it and use the cash towards a down payment on a house!!!!! It feels like christmas again!!!

Nice! ya I used to have a lincoln but i upgraded to a miller 185 and really could tell a difference... even after phil used it like a $2 whore in chico...


Get that truck sold already!!!

how bout the 251 or 252
miller in genral has always treated me rite
true blue brotha :thumbsup:

good choice. I have the same one and LOVE IT!

sweet, I have the 210 and so far so good!! I got the blu too!! lol

Once you go blue you..........lol I had the 210 but......my old business partner bounced with it but thats a sore subject, the 210 is a great machine but I was kinda buying just what I needed at the time for the best dollar, I felt like a 140 was a waste of money for my use and the 210 was just a bit more than I wanted to spend right now expecially trying to save for a down payment on a house... but it accepts the spoolmate 100 now so I can still do aluminum and stainless shit so it'll be good for around the garage. If I had the money to burn I would have gotten the 252 but I wanted some longfields too so the 180 it was I wont be welding over 5/16" hardly ever so it will do and in the case I was welding 3/8" or larger I can cut the edges and burn it twice no biggy

thats the same one i just got too, i paired it with a nice camo thermal dynamic cutmaster 39 plasma too! sweetness!!!

man kody save a few bucks and get some longs brotha!!! right on! how does the p cutter work? I was looking at that one when I was at Harris....I really love the Baliegh Iron worker in there for its size 8400 isnt bad but I dont think I'll have that kinda money burning a hole in my pocket anytime soon

How much did you have to give up for the new welder?

Out the door was over a 1000, once you buy the welder get one with a cart cause thats only 20 more, buy a roll of wire, a bottle and tax your there, but the alternative was spend 600-700 on a used one with no warranty (not like millers break but peace of mind is good) buy a bottle, and wire and tax on those 2 items your still sittin at 900-950 so I got a newbie plus it has that new welder smell..... :thumbsup:

Kody... what are you putting under your rig? let me know how the cutter does how thick does it cut?

Forgot to mention the new line from miller has auto set kinda a dumby poof deal you pick your wire and metal thickness and the machine does the rest, you dont have to use it but its there I usually burn things in a little hotter anyway but Im gonna try it and see what it does, it has auto shut off when you ground out the tip, you can run the spoolmate 100, I think even on the 140 you can also, new cooling features, I think there was a couple other small impovements too I cant remember.

sold my miller plasma it sucked , but kept the good ol torches with a steady hand , the rite tips and set rite works just as good

Im a fan of the torch myself but to never have to fill the bottles ? maybe for the right price for sure... what miller did you have

last time i talked to my buddy they had them on special for like 850 at harris, i'll call my buddy and see if they have anymore and seee how much they are runnin now

spectrum don't remember what size , but always had to buy new tips , 50 bucks for five , and didn't like running the noisey ass compressor all the time plus you need two 220 outlets ,you can't cut 1 inch and thicker solid stock like butter , scarf off old welds when stripping things , or heat to bend , and even brazeing

I think I will be building a set-up ... torches that is!!! :thumbsup:

My dad has a set of torches he uses once every couple years I think Im gonna try and get those off of him instead of a cutter... :kranker:

True fabricators use torches
