Dun..
I was going through the motions last night on that Miller 175 Mig unit, still want a TIG. 914RS' comments were good enough for me on using a tig for the car (granted some projects will be tough and tedious). So I did it.. THERMAL ARC PRO-WAVE 185 TSW TIG STICK WELDER WooHoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I got it from http://www.indianaoxygencompany.com/ as suggested. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...item=3856054252 Has most all (if not all) of the goodies that others have commented on and tons less than the miller Squarewave 250 unit, albeit at 70 less amps. Have read some BBS strings on various sites about it and it appears to be a fine welder for the money. AC/DC CC Tig Stick and Pulsed Stick 230V (40Amp) Inverter design makes it only 42lbs, draws less amps at full tilt than the big units at idle. 5-185Amps Output 185Amps/17V at 30% Duty Cycle 160Amps/26V at 40% Duty Cycle 100Amps/14V at 100% Duty Cycle 38Amp draw at rated load, 1.6Amps no load Tig Lift Start HF Start True Square Wave AC Output Pulsing Spot, Repeat and Spot functionality Pre Flow 0-1.0 second Post Flow 0 to 60.0 Seconds Hot Start 0-70A Up Slope 0-15.0 Seconds Spot Time .5 to 5.0 Seconds Pulse Width 15-80% Pulse Freq 0.5 to 500Hz (.05 to 20Hz in 0.1HZ Increments, 20-100Hz in 1Hz Increments, 100-500Hz in 5Hz Increments) Wave Balance 10-65% Down Slope 0-25.0 Seconds Crater Cur. 5-185A Digital Meters for Weld parameters and weld current when welding (w/8 second hold) Digital Meters for Amps and Voltage Digital Meters for self diagnostics Intelligent Fan Control Electrode holder for Stick Tig Torch Regulator and hose Foot control Voltage Reduction Device, which reduces OCV when the power supply is not in use |

In my shop I have a miller 330 A/BP tig machine and a miller pulstar 450 mig.
Major overkill but these things get used constantly and they don't complain. |
