Welder of choice

White_monster · May 28, 2013

What's everybody's welder of choice? Brand, model, etc.

My choice is Miller. I have a Diversion 180 tig and a Millermatic 211 mig. Hypertherm plasma coming soon.

I love my miller 252. I've used comparable Lincoln setups and choose my miller everytime. Also run a miller bobcat 250 on my truck.

I have a small Millermatic 135 and I have a big Snap On mig.. I also have a Lincoln stick welder that I use most of the time.. I do mostly farm equipment/trailer welding and I think the stick makes a better weld on thick steel.. JMO..

Same. My 252 is by far the best machine I've ran. Like Shane, ill be staying loyal and going with a Diversion 180 TIG soon.

If anyone wants plasma from miller look at hypertherm. They make millers plasmas but they don't let miller have the most current technology.

XMT350s w/22a feeders

The 350p is by far the most diverse all around machine. Also have some old school synchrowave 500 at work that get all the aluminum inside 53' reefer trailers welded.

Been running a miller 251 for a long time, we have a Lincoln of the same size at work and I can't stand it. Hypotherm for a plasma and love it.

Yeah the 350p has been an awesome machine. Had a 210 and an old 200 copper winding machine. They wouldn't weld the size of material that I needed. Not the case with the 350P.

The syncrowave has done well. But i am far from a master at tig.

miller dynasty 200 DX

Lincoln 180C

Super08Duty · May 29, 2013

Miller 135 for mig, Lincoln cracker box for arc, and miller dynasty 200 for tig...although I can't figure out why it won't run good clean beads.

hawgdoctor · May 29, 2013

All lincolns here 135 pocket mig for quick stuff, 180 square wvae tig on the bike side, and water cooled 275 precision tig on the truck side. Not gonna hate on the millers though. Have used them, and like them just preffer licoln.
