I'm bummed. My trustworthy Hanson welder just quit without warning. If I touch the wire to the ground inside the welding box, nothing happens. If I touch the wire to the ground cable, I might see some tiny sparks, but not always. I've used this heavy for about 30 years.
So, I started looking at the Millermatic 211. It seems to do the same things I've been doing....sheet metal to 1/4" steel. What is it's reputation? How nice is it to use? It doesn't say if it has a cooling fan.
Any idea what could have gone wrong with my Hanson? I'm not thrilled about shelling out $1000, but I don't want to buy anything light duty.
