I currently have a Miller 230X Mig Welder. I have had this machine for two years now and I am still trying to get it to work properly. I weld mild steel round tubing and manufacturer race car chassis in the north-east.
I was using .035 wire, but I was having trouble with the machine starting smoothly. It would splatter real bad and never make a good start. The tips were burning up and I was always messing with the machine. I switched to .030 wire and it seamed to help, but recently I was using a Lincoln welder that was actually a lower end machine compared to my 230x and that machine was great. It started real nice, never splattered, and was real smooth. I could never weld with my 230x like that.
I there anything that can be done with the machine to help this problem out???
Thanks,
Bob Balaam
