wasted ink Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 It looks like I am going to go for an Esab 203. Anyone need a spool gun? I have a brand new (no box, but all there) never used Miller spoolmatic 30a. I got it in trade and never used it/ have no use for it. im not a huge fan of esabs to be honest. never liked welding with them. do you plan on welding alot of aluminum? the spoolguns can put down tons of material, good for some aluminum jobs when you dont have the time to tig weld everything meticulously..

No, I don't use aluminium for much. I mostly weld steel like frames and such. I was going to get into it but figured I waisted some space on a tool I haven't used.

I'm going to try craigslist. I would love to end up with a big ass miller, but so far the money situation dictates other wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randerson Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I Work for a steel fabrication and custom welding shop and me and my boss use a lincoln power mig it is the best welder we have ever used. but make sure you give it max power when you absolutely can. it seems to weld pretty shitty some times if you run it off of inconsistent power. the power mig is pretty awesome tho with the pulsed mig option you can really weld fast and lay down some wire. i would recommend it but iv never used a miller or others.

Airborne Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 I am going to look into lincoln, but from what I have seen they have a heavy price tag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted October 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I just ordered an ESAB 203. Be here in about a week and will get a write up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Got the Esab, now I need to get a bottle of gas. No one stays open past 5pm and the Army works untill at least 5pm so it is going to take a few days before I can lay a bead. Fuckin' sucks!
