So my Miller Maxstar crapped out on me today...
It was welding just fine, but when I was ready to weld up my next runner, it just wouldn't start an arc. It didn't overheat, or do anything unusual. It sputters kinda like I need to sharpen the tungesten, but it does the same even with a brand new tungsten.
Thank god for the 3 year warranty I guess.

Yup their tight. I've checked everything, so I'm pretty sure something is up with the welder itself, especially because it just suddenly crapped out.

The breaker's fine, and all the cords were fine. I was running out of time to take it in, so I just dropped it off last night. I'll find out soon enough what's wrong.

FINALLY...I was able to pick up my welder today. Apparently the PC board was fried. 
Thank god for the 3 year warranty though. I'm sure this would have been a costly repair
