I don't understand!

Guys, don't forget about Hobart, Millers sister company,...both owned by Illinois Tool Works. Lots more technology sharing between the two brands than most realize. If you're not dead set on the nice autoset feature that miller has be sure to shop around and give Hobart a look. I recently bought the ironman 230 with spool gun delivered to my door for $1850,...not bad for a 230 amp mig welder. I spent the savings I would have spent on a 212 or 252 with same setup on some accessories and supplies. Can't knock miller, that's for sure. Good thread!

New baby is home!
I've seen tapped Mig machines before, but never used one. In the farthermost reach of my imagination I can't believe I would put up with that for more than 30-seconds! I don't like people telling me what to do, much less a welding machine. :laughing:
I have the 252 and am very pleased with it.What the old timer said is true in My opinion.Good luck with Your purchase.miller 252. I work for a welding supply company in central N.Y.. we sell a lot of 180 and 252. The 252 is just a better welder. save a few extra $ and go for it. A old timer told me once. Buy a big welder because you can always turn it down. The 252 will be the last welder you will need to buy!!!!!
