Seeing as my unit is past its warranty period and I've absolutely had it with these terrible cables, I'm going to put some Dinse connectors on the front panel. Since this is the 180A model, should I look right past the small 3/8" connectors and jump right for the large 1/2" connectors?

Heck I have an old Lincoln Sq Wave TIG 175 that had one and never leaked in 14 years... bet if I dusted it off and tried it now it would be fine...
Maybe somebody else like Cruizer has other opinions... but my experience was trouble free...

Personally, I don't see the point, torches and parts are cheap. Why try to make the unit into something its not. And if it breaks, your not making it any easier for us to repair..
I'd refuse to repair the unit if someone modified it. people try to modify stuff all the time. Being a welder repair guru, what do you think I'd tell them, and where they can go.....

What research of this welder would change anything about what he said. He merely stated that as a certified miller tech, he would prefer it to be in factory condition. If I was you, I would just sell that little diversion and get a dynasty, then your torch dilemma, and underpowered machine dilemma are both solved.

You may not like Cruizer's response... but he is a very knowledgable TECH that provides helpful ... valuable advice on a daily basis.... and his was a very valid viewpoint
your nasty response will not encourage experienced folks to waste their time responding to your questions..
When you slammed that door you appear to have slammed your oscar mayer in it at the same time....
good way to impress the troops when you introduce yourself in a new neighborhood..Last edited by H80N; 11-02-2014, 04:43 PM..
