XMT350MPa

[HARRY BARKER]

DC only tig
i thought i could get the best of everything in one package

[Frank_Cox]

It would be an awesome setup if it had A/C. oh well what you gonna do now?

[Smokeone]

Well Harry i guess you will have to another one

[HARRY BARKER]

im lookin at the 350MPa with the dual feed with aluma-pro-plus gun.( dont know how to insert the brochure)
tig for what little i do can still be my lincoln 225

thoughts?

i demoed a mp 350 lincoln a couple years ago....it was sweet....they let me have it for a month,but i want an inverter and......................

and, and, and

The miller dynasty has AC high freq.

[HARRY BARKER]

holy moly......the thing is $122001!!! list price!!! good news is i found one for $10,000 but thats gonna cut into my drinkin money.

[Blazer]

Yea the 700 is that much. the 200 is around 3000. The 350 is around 8000. Come on, go dig up some jars and buy one.

[HARRY BARKER]

i gotta find my shovel

[Smokeone]

I'd look in the shop ;)

[HARRY BARKER]

damnit.....i dont see one out here

[KILLSWITCH505]

are you sure you need AC tig? most welders around here use a spool gun on their aluminum. but on a side note its only money so spend it

[Frank_Cox]

+1 on the spoolgun. I can do the tig on aluminum with my LTEC250 but boy does it suck the power! I plan to get the spoolgun set up for my lincoln255 mig

[HARRY BARKER]

my plan was a dual feeder with a push-pull gun on one side regular gun/mild steel on the other......for 10-12K i thought it might have AC and then i could sell my current TIG.

[Blazer]

Yea it seems that they got away from the machines that would do mig and ac tig, that way they could sell you two machines instead of one. I have used the lincoln powerwave with the dual gun setup like you mentioned with the pushpull on one side,it welds aluminum great especially on pulse. Miller made the shopmaster 300 years ago it was a mig,stick, and ac tig. I'm not sure if you can hook a pushpull gun to it but i would say a spoolgun would be no problem. ;)

[Frank_Cox]

Ok so I have never heard the term "push pull gun"before, i'm assuming it means the gun both pushes the wire and pulls the wire ?

[Blazer]

It uses the normal drive wheels and the gun has a small set of wheels that pull the wire also. Aluminum wire is soft and likes to birdnest. The pull wheels help with that.

[HARRY BARKER]

for the price....i think im gonna sleep on it,although i been sleepin on it for a couple years ever since i demoed that pulse machine
for 10-12K i could have 3 dedicated welders

[Blazer]

Yea i know what you mean, a pushpull gun alone is around 2 grand.

[Frank_Cox]

Good Lord! I think I'll just stick with the old spool gun. dont have one yet but i plan to get one for the lincoln 255 in the future

[HARRY BARKER]

Good Lord! I think I'll just stick with the old spool gun. dont have one yet but i plan to get one for the lincoln 255 in the future

but for $10,000 more you could have an inverter with pulse welding,stop bein so cheap!

[KILLSWITCH505]

10k damn what would you be using it for? i would buy a 250 and a plasma table for that kinda dough

[HARRY BARKER]

i want to be able to feed MS and AL without changing anything,hence the dual feeder one side with a push pull and the other with a regular gun,the pulse feature is the balls on AL

[KILLSWITCH505]

okay i just googled it and yeah i want one too (i dont know why but i was envisioning something similar to mine but in a 350 ) i'll go in halfers with you but we'll need to keep in at my place

[Tom_Heath]

LOL at KS.....sounds like a deal. For one of ya anyways.
