DirtyComanche Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Yeah, I'm converted, I think. I was at the local welding supply because well, I dunno. I gravitate towards those sort of places. Anyways, push came to shove and I started looking at their millermatics. MM140 is about 800 and the MM180 is like 920... Think I should pony up the extra 100 and change for the better one? Hmm... (I think I've got 1000 for the cherokee... hence, I'm going to buy a MIG) I might go and look at other places too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyComanche Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 No worries... That quote included the bottle filled, and a pack of tips. I could talk him into some wire too, probably... I think for the extra money I should get the 180. I'll need the extra duty cycle if nothing else. I'm somewhat limited to what I can buy locally (or close) becuase shipping is such a b*@$£.

JOMJ87 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I can see you are kinda set on the Miller but the price between the lincoln and the miller seems to big pretty big of a diff. I just thought i would bring up the lincoln cause i personnaly have loved it since i first welded with it. I shoudl have one by the end of sept. too. I think my buddy said he got his to the door for about 700 or so. Just a thought on your ability to get others. Let us know what you do and how it works.

DirtyComanche Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 To buy one locally is about the same price as a miller, near as I can tell. The selection has been lacking at the other stores. I have a lincoln tombstone, got nothing against lincoln. And job? What's that? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't been to one of those in over a week, such a long time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oizarod115 Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 we have the lincoln 110 pop box MIG... usin flux core right now its just to damn picky man. if the surface isnt 100% clean it doesnt like to bead well. but i think its cuase of the flux wire... gotta get abottle and some gas the welder has the hookups for it but welding on old steel and jeeps isnt exactly the most clean surface to weld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 I'm a prep nazi anyways. Even with the stick. Then I go help somebody weld something and it's like 'don't worry about the paint, it'll burn off' and they wonder why it looks like $#!&. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepcoMJ Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 sand blaster. tape off what you don't want blasted, or smear grease over it (grease absorbs sand so metal underneath doesn't get blasted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyComanche Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 I use lots of stuff... I've got a speed blaster, I don't use it much unless it's really weird. A 5" angle grinder with flap disks and wire brushes. A die grinder with sanding drums and a wire wheel (it's crazy with a wire wheel). And a wire wheel to go in my cordless/air drill. And lacquer thinner. Lots of it... I don't worry about prep being a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 I use my 9" grinder and the big flap wheels :D ... and the 4.5 grinder actually has a grinding wheel in it, and the trusty S/S wire brush.. Just turn the heat up and break out the 6011 :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
