first light with the not really new Miller

Are you a very tall person? 36" may be a bit too high. Most people ask for 30" high tables.

Good point. The height you weld at depends on the table height and the heighth of the part you are welding. I made a welding table for light work which had a column instead of four legs and the height was adjustable.

I use a damaged sewer grate on a hydraulic stacker as a welding table and adjust its height to wherever I can stand upright and hold my hands steadiest.

Like this:

It's very handy for working on generators etc without having to squat or kneel awkwardly.

Not tall, but I intend to stand, and I figure if it's too high I can chop it down. The reverse would be harder.

You bought the best. After using other welders its only blue boxes for me. Don't know how you waited that long to try your new toy. of course I seldom go a week without welding something.

I'm olny 5'11" but find I have to sit on a stool to use a 30" high table. Now i have two stools, dpending on whether I'm using the top or bottom half of the bifocals :)

Yep! That old Syncrowave 300 I bought from Ig has just been the 't*ts'.

These old Millers never die on you...

Glad I was of help...

It was sort of weird to use the same model at the welding school and ignore the one at home. A fully equipped shop is more appealing to use though.

I find I can't work at a 30" counter unless I'm sitting and even then they feel too low. If you have to manuever stuff, a stool just becomes another item in the way.
