Smile BirthDay Present

to me!! Had to try it out today, so I added to my sculpture. Delivered my Millermatic 141 today, just so happens that Travis (snappytravis) was down from WY looking at the Camaro, (Good meeting you Travis!) the UPS truck showed up minutes before Travis.

Anyway .... easy to setup, I used the Auto Set to weld some 3/16, 16 ga, and just for grins I tried some 1/4 .... not enough amps for 1/4", rated at 3/16" max. I will get my wheel house welded in here shortly ...

Here's some porn ...









This clamp isn't gonna cut it ... I'll replace it w a beefier one!

Easy setup, really like the drive roller push and rotate to change! Now I have to get a larger cart ... doesn't fit this one too good!!!

1/4" for grins!

Welded both sides to get penetration .... marginal at 1/4"


Been busy with my school work, man its kicking my ace, only 3 weeks left to this session and then I can work on the Camaro full time!!!

Thanks for looking ....

Very nice but didn't you just weld your DSE subframe brackets together in the last 2 photos ?

If you need to do 1/4" you'll just have to remember to bevel the pieces first.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. Just figured I'd burn some wire since its sitting on the bench .... New welders are like new girlfriends, gotta see what they can and can't do!!

Yes, sorry, I knew those were left-over, but I forgot to post the "sarcasm" icon.

Funny how excited we can get over a welder. I really enjoy having my new Miller unit ! Really looking forward to some updates as the school pressure disappears !
