My Wife bought me a new Miller Wire Feed Welder for Christmas. It is the DVI model. I have been working on my new garage and rental houses all year and finally decided this weekend to make time to get to use it. I am very impressed with it. I had to do some work on my 16 foot equipment trailer. I only had the current turned up about half way which on that welder will be about an 80 per cent duty cycle. The nice thing about this welder is that if I have to take it to work on something it can plug into a regular 115 volt house circuit without having to do any changes to the input wiring. To change the voltage on it all you have to do is plug the proper adapter into the power cable and plug it in. The unit automatically does the rest. I bought one of the auto dimming helmets that they sell at Harbor Freight. These helmets are inexpensive and have a control to set the level of darkness it dims to. This is the first time I have used a welding helmet that you can set the level of light it allows through and it was a lot easier to use. For someone that makes a living welding it might not be heavy duty enough for them but for someone that uses a welder to make projects or repairs it works pretty well.
