Guest JAMIE T Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Nice! Did you get the pulser? I just picked up a 110 Millermatic 135 MIG for the light work. I still have the big guns, Lincoln PowerMIG 350 with the Python push-pull and the really big gun Miller Syncrowave 350 TIG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 Yes, I added the ACP controls for $227. I looked at the Miller Synchrowave 300DX TIG Runner setup but the street prices were about $400 more then the Lincoln, comparably equipped. Either machine would work well for me but the Lincoln is what I trained on at the Lincoln Electric Welding School. I know what knobs to turn and when to turn them.

jnjdragracing Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 I have an old lincoln Square Wave 175 Tig, and just love it. I would not mind upgrading but the old Tig just goes and goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringIt Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Just wondering why you are trading in the Inverter Style Machine? I know with the Pulser on the new machine its almost the same. Except for the Adjustable Frequency? I love my Maxstar200DX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Just wondering why you are trading in the Inverter Style Machine? I know with the Pulser on the new machine its almost the same. Except for the Adjustable Frequency? I found I rarely used the adjustable frequency stuff on my Invertec. I did use the pulse and sometimes I tweaked the balance when welding AC. The Auto Balance function on the ACP will do a better job them me of optimizing the balance between cleaning and penetration when weld AL. The important things for me are the water cooled torch, additional power, auto balance and pulse. I'm also hoping the MicroStart tech will help me when welding .049" stainless tubing. Its pretty tough getting the bead started without burning a hole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moridin Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 How much are you looking to get for the Lincoln? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Haven't got the new welder yet so I'm not sure I want to sell the old one yet. Me and the new welder might now get a long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 You will. My PT275 rocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnc Posted June 1, 2006 Author Share Posted June 1, 2006 Simply wonderful! Its been a while since I spent a couple hours just welding stuff for the helluvit. Steel, stainless, aluminum, copper all welded beautifully with this new machine. Worth all the pennies I spent. I'll put my Invertec up for sale in the classified section.

Mike C Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Can't argue with that. For the $2149 I paid for the Ready-to-weld pak with cart, torch & cooler, I'd say I'm more than excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
