Hi everyone,
I am almost ready to purchase this welder. Millermatic 210. There is a Miller promotion going on right now, and this welder is better priced than the Air Liquide, Hobart etc Therefore I am leaning towards this unit at this time. The local dealer is offering it to me for $1759 Canadian. plus tax. From what I have read to date, it appears to be quite a machine. And Miller has upheld an excellent reputation of being the "Caddilacs" of all welders.
I have been arc welding for many years, but have only tried MIG welding a few times, quite some time ago, therefore I really don't know what I am looking for.
What I intend to use the welder for:
Fabrication of offroading gear. Bumpers, roll cages, frame welding etc. Ocasional sheetmetal welding as well.. Mostly will be welding 2" DOM tube.
Is this welder considered overkill for my needs? From what my local Miller dealer tells me, is that the Millermatic 210 is twice the machine that the Millermatic 175.
Is arc welding not good for tube welding?
Looking for any kind of feedback. And thanks a bunch!! :0)
Gord,
