Swapmeetcrazy,
How do you like that 180 autoset? I'm looking at the same machine and just looking for some feedback. Seems like a good machine for the money and would handle just about anything i could throw at it. It goes up to 5/16ths right?

jmac -

My friends at Divers just kicked all their Autosets to the curb... they hated them and had nothing but problems with 'em...

I don't know what the problems were but they quit using them. Just for what it's worth.

Why don't they just use their "auto-sets" in the manual mode? I've been looking at the Miller 211 with Auto-Set & the MVP option so I can use it elsewhere without having to worry about having 220. Is having an auto-set with a manual mode any different than having just a manual mode machine?

I love my Lincoln Power Mig 140C and 255XT. I've never had any problems with them and I really like how easy it is to lay a nice weld down.

Sorry it took so long to respond to the question - I missed your post.

The problems they were having was with the electronics... blowing boards and repairs etc. Not that they couldn't bypass the auto set - it was a RELIABILITY issue and in a shop where guys depend on their welders working it was a problem.
