    Miller Spool Gun - China Replica

    The only thing the SpoolRunner 100 and the Spoolmate 100 share is the plastic molded handle and barrel. The motor, gear box, and power pin are different.

    Lincoln 210 MP versus Millermatic 211

    The 210MP and Multimatic 215 are more of an apples to apples comparison...One other thing to add is that the 210MP is a made is Mexico and the design came from Poland. The 211 and the 215 are made in Appleton Wi.

    Saw Homak box for the first time

    I have the H2Pro 56 top and bottom. For an auto mechanic I would look at other drawer layouts.......But if you dabble is all things fun....auto, electrical, pluming, wood working and general tinkering, then this isn't a bad box.

    Need a new air hose for reel

    One of the first things I did was replace the junkie hose. I found a deal at Tractor supply like 2 years ago 50ft 3/8 fexzilla hose with 1/2in fittings for like 30 bucks clearance. If I remember I will take a picture when I get home. In the end best decision I made and I love it!

    In a bit of a bind

    So the duty cycle on the compressor isn't for the pump but for the motor starting and stopping? lately when I am blasting the compressor will run almost continuously for like 20 min or better.

    In a bit of a bind

    I bought a Puma PK6060V air compressor last year. I bought it with the mind set that I would be using it for air tools light sand blasting and of course filling tires and balls and that sort of stuff. Well fast forward to now and I use it quite a bit for sand blasting and in general it gets...

    Lincoln 210 MP welder opinions

    I have HF 50ft reel....love it! original hose that came with it is junk I changed it out for some flexzilla 1/2in hose with 3/8in fittings (hose was on super sale at TSC) with HF coupon its totally worth it.

    Mig welder 120/230 Lincoln Dual or Miller 211

    The 210MP is an interesting machine (I personally have used it.) With it just coming out and being imported from Europe I would worry about parts availability. That is one of Lincolns down falls with some of its other machines. Miller on the other hand......we make our bds here in Wisconsin...
