Good Mig/Tig welding machines I am looking at a Miller 240V with a 60% duty cycle (out of a ten minute interval you could weld for six minutes straight) I don't think I would weld for six minutes straight, but it is good to know that things would never overheat. So...is Miller a good welder?

Re: Good Mig/Tig welding machines I didn't buy a industrial MIG, but I tried the Lincoln Mig Pak series (runs on household current) and wasn't impressed with the weld quality. I bought a HTP- that mo fo makes me look like I actually know what I'm doing- real steady feed compared to the Lincolns that I've tried.

Re: Good Mig/Tig welding machines Miller welders are great, we run 2 miller TIGs0 Syncrowave 250, an old school dialarc HF, and one Lincoln 355 squarewave. The millers need a tenth of the attention and work of the Linclon.
Next TIG on the list is the Miller Dynasty
We also have 4 Miller MIGs none of which are newer than 4 years old. Simple maintenance and care and they last for ever.

Re: Good Mig/Tig welding machines Don't overlook Hobart welders, our mig and tig in the fabrication shop at the airport were both Hobart (and a Lincoln migpak 100 for small jobs or travel). I like the Lincoln's as well, I've used several migpak 100's (with gas conversions) and they work great for me (it is definately not operator skill....). Just my thoughts.

Re: Good Mig/Tig welding machines
I have a Miller 185 MIG and a Lincon 175 TIG. They are both 240V and they work wonders. They are both 5 or 6 years old (but then again they are only used a few times a month....).

Re: Good Mig/Tig welding machines I personally like the Lincon better than the Miller.
The Miller rattles, shakes, and reminds me of an old rust bucket (but it gets the job done so I don't complain) I absolutly hated the Miller TIGs but then again I hated the Lincon MIGs so I got the best of each company (or what I thought was best).
