Thread: I think I want one of these ....

Millermatic® 211 Auto-Set™ with MVP™ - MIG - Miller

I have been looking at MIGs for a while as well ......this one looks pretty universal ...opinions

I have a Lincoln that I will sell you. I want a TIG machine!

i have 2x 210, and i have been using mine for 7 years, very few problems... the only issue i have ever had, and i have 2 machines, same age same model, that i had to replace the contactor on both. other then that, keep it clean and it will run forever.

Been looking at welders and wondered what the least amperage one should get for general/exhaust work?

I have used one of these and it was very impressive for it's size.



Don't wimp out and get a 120 welder, you WILL regret it. Always get at least a 230v Welder. This is a more then perfect welder for Exhaust work and general welding. I even ran mine on C02 (Cheap Boss) and it worked great. For a beginner, the gauges are real easy to read and understand. Miller some times has promotions that when you buy a welder they will include a free auto-darken helmet. It's worth going down to a local welding supplier to compare machines and get a feel for what your buying.

the little 110 volt welders like the 140amp work great for anything light gauge. as far as exhaust work they are perfect.
i have a lincoln 180amp (230volt) which can be picked up at home depot for fairly cheap. takes care of most of my welding projects.
does up to like 3/16" pretty well.

ive used those bigger miller migs like the 211 before. im actually looking for one. they can suite any needs a shop would have.
deff dont hesitate to purchase one of those. if the newer auto sets are anything like the older machines you are good to go.

Well I bought one today .....I thought what the hell , why not ....it might have been the sleep deprivation from the change to the Graveyard shift thats what excuse I used for the wife , she just said sure ....

Here she is in her new home ...temp home till I build another cart
