New toy

[428]

Finally got a welder for the garage. No more dragging stuff to work to weld.

Miller 175 MIG?? If so, we've got one of these and it is a great machine for the money!

Actually it's the Miller 180, the 175 was discontinued last year. I wanted a 220 and this seem the best bang for the buck. Kinda wish I'd gotten two small tanks instead of the midsize one.

Feels good don't it!

 

[428]

Yeah, except I wrenched my back setting it up. Now I can't use it for a week or so

I got the 220 put in for one. More importantly I got heat this week!!

I'm jealous! I want one sooo bad.

You want 2 bottles instead of the big one, why? Cause of the weight?

Still has that "new welder" smell doesn't it? Congrats.

I want a second one for when the big one runs out on the weekend.

So handy to have a welder around.

With two you don't have to return a nearly empty bottle to make sure you have enough for the next project. You can completely empty one bottle and have the next in reserve and keep rotating.

I was going to trade in my 80 for the next size up, but I think it will be easier to have 2 80's. They're also easier to transport.
