Default Just got my new welder in...

And gawd is it big!








Just popped the top on it and about to wire it up and see how it goes.
360amps at 100% duty cycle single phase 208volts
or
500amps at 100% duty cycle three phase 480volts.

Will have to go pickup some of the new high fangle rare earth tungsten and gas lens for this tomorrow to see how it runs. The torch for it is a W18 rated at 500 amps, it is very heavy duty, a little unnecessary for turbo manifolds but I am sure it can handle some high end aluminum jobs being rated to weld 1 inch aluminum

Your going to be very happy with it for sure.

Be sure to check and clean your cooler on these regularly. We had one 350 that's cooler went bad in the first 2 months and miller replaced the whole machine under warranty. The other two machines are getting mucked up pretty quickly in there. Not really fond of the coolant miller gives us to put in them.

James.....lol...wtf.

Life is over guys, the dream is dead, what shall we do....oh hey though by the way, check out my new 12,000.00 welder.

So, by not getting the robotic baller welder you had to settle for this and you were all upset about it to the extent of that other thread? I have a Lincoln PT185...wanna trade?

Nice welder though for sure...very nice, very expensive, very privileged to own it.

Awesome welder! I think I'll keep the box that it was packaged in. I can live in it!!! So this means I get to weld more, right?! At least we can finally weld thicker material. And three Argon tanks TOTAL!!!

Still, a welder is not a robot. That will be next on our list.

exactly what I was thinking, I am not a fan of James, I have a few friends that have been raw dogged by him in his younger days. I hope for your dads sake your not as usless as I think you are.
