Finally got my Welder!!

[Butch 194]

Finally got my Miller 211. Now I hafta learn to use it. I bought lots of accessories for it too. Below is a pic of the welder and the cart. Below that is my 1st project!

It plugs into either 110 or 220. The plug dictates the voltage.

I appreciate all the help and feedback I received about buying the welder. I did buy a 150 cf bottle with 75/25 argon/c02. $190 for the bottle and $40 for a fill.

You can never go wrong with a Miller, I have one of their mig's and a plasma cutter and love them both. Their support is excellent.

That beats the hell out of my $39 cart that came with bolts and nuts that were neither sae or metric. We looked at that welder at work, but went with another style. Bet she will do a fine job. They went with the 110v portable, at work, with flux cored wire, does ok on the light stuff. Where did you get your bottle set up?

People here talked me out of flux core. I got the bottle at South Jersey Welding Supply in Vineland, NJ. They have 3 locations but this is the main one. 1000s of bottles in the warehouse plus they must deliver to welders. A lot of company trucks loaded with bottles.

They had the best price on bottles. If you rented a bottle the deposit was $150. $40 more and you own it. The receipt they give you is kind of like a title of ownership! They will give you a new bottle for the price and you can have it filled while you wait but I didn't wanna go that route. I just wanna swap them with no waiting.

Here is their flyer.

I looked at Tractor Supply, mainly because they are open 7 days a week and open late. Theirs is a bottle exchange type of deal, but it was kinda high to get started so, for now, I'm just using the flux cord wire. It does really well on mine, I have the Hobart Handler 187 in a 220V.
