Need welder advice...

[deereman75]

All my welders and plasma are on 65-amp breakers, haven't thrown a breaker yet. Now the Miller 330A/BP was on a 95-amp breaker, but it was capable of 460-amps output. It has been retired, and setting way in the back of the barn. The Miller Dynasty 300 did that machine in.

Do you have 3 phase?

 

[Shield Arc]

No, single phase. I have a 200-amp service in the shop, I do have a phase converter but haven't used it in years. I wish I had 3-phase, but I get by in my little one man hobby shop.

 

[deereman75]

so your old linde mig is single phase? I have only ever seen 3 phase ones..

 

[Shield Arc]

Yes it's single phase, 200-amps at 100% duty cycle. That's one sweet Mig machine. The variable inductance really gives you control over the puddle.

Here's a vertical up, with .045 Lincoln L-56 wire.

wow I have never seen a single phase one. I would love something like that.

I would love something like that.

I have it up for sale, along with a Cobramatic. But shipping to you would be about 4 xs what I'm asking!

Upgrading to one of these. I have the construction model, and was so impressed with it, thought I'd get the upgrade / newer version, with pulse. My Invertec V350-Pro is hands down no doubt about it the best SMAW machine I've ever used! Dam impressive with GMAW too, and a really nice arc with GTAW. I'd love to get my hands on a Miller XMT-350 to compare them side by side!

Nice!!
Another great addition to your shop.

I would have to mortgage the house to buy one of those. :laughing:

Oh that's just suggested retail price. I got the welder, spool gun, spool gun module, control cables, and a 100-feet long remote for $5,607.00, with free shipping from Weldingsupply.com
