New toy: Big A$$ Miller tig welder

New toy: Miller tig

Came across a Miller Syncrowave 300 AC/DC welder, and could not pass it up. The guy is going through some bad times and needed the cash, so I helped him out. It has a new torch and hose, full box of Alum. rod, a bunch of misc. cups, and a mid size Argon bottle. It must have either came off the Titanic, or helped weld it together. Its about 4.5'x3'x2.5' and probably weighs about 700lb. It Will be perfect for the big jobs that I have wanted to tackle. Im sneaking out tonight to tap into the main power pole down the street. This thing can draw almost 100A.

I Hope so! I just dropped $512 on Aluminum, for the Intake runner project. I cant believe how much the price of aluminum has gone up.

that's a great machine and I there's not much it can't handle. I've spent a lot of time with the 250 synchrowave and really liked it. I'd love to have one for the garage.

Sweet, I know I was excited last year when I scored a nice TIG at a good price:thumb::happy2:

Headed out in a lil while to go pick it up, since the rain is giving us a break. Im hoping my cherry picker is wide enough to go around it, and will lift it high enough, to get it on a motorcycle trailer. I guess I cant go wrong for $600, so I'll stop whining now...

Damn! What a deal, no you cant go wrong! Im Jelous!

thats damn good price! i thought i got a deal when i got a old style Miller TIG, $800 last year.

Thanks! The Cherry picker worked fine but had me a little nervous. It was almost all the way up, and the COG was not in the best place (back wheels bouncing). Still on and off rain showers today, so that was not helping at all. I have been looking around on line, and the going price is between $1300-$2100 for this welder, so im happy.

Nice score russ! Think we paied like $600+ for our old Miller Moonlighter, it is like new though, still you got a smokin deal!:thumb:

 

[deHuncho]

Millers are awesome. We have one a little bigger in the shop at work, you can litterally weld anything with one of those if you know how to set it up. Our's goes through argon like a beast though. Sweet pickup on the welder and lookin forward to new parts.:thumb:

Very good deal. I got a 250dx and have worked with a 300 like yours you will have excellent arc control on thin material . how are you hooking it up 3 phase or single with a converter. I think if you take the back panel off there are jumpers you change depending on power input.

 

[RPM Motorsports]

It's a single phaze unit, so it can be used at home (as the lights dim). But yes, it can be changed to several different voltages.
