Miller Student Package

[iso50]

ever seen a little kid outside a candy store with no money
LOL

It would be like a kid outside a candy factory, you can't see anything, and in the case of Miller, you can't smell anything either.

Miller looks like a group of factory style buildings, and an office building. Not a lot to see, unless you can get on the inside (Like I hope to on the 20th)

fun 4 now,

I am getting a set of the calculators just so I can see how much easier my learning could have been. Hopefully they will hit the shop my next week and I'll post again after trying them.

[fun4now]

cool

thanks
that would help a lot i rarly used my dore chart found it easeyer to play it by ear.
would apreceate the review from a pro on the cal.

started going thruogh the books in the kit hope to have the tig book down pat buy the time i get the dyn.


after i get my dynasty i could use some advice on what parts to get insted of the contractors kit, if you are up for it ill let you know when i'm ready to go.
was thinking about the coolmate 3 and water setup

[lramberson]

Hey fun4now, I went with the coolmate 4 for portability only if I ever needed it. If did it over the 3 would have been just fine and a little cheaper.. I did go with the diamondback torch and am very happy with the choice.. I will purchase a aircooled unit in the near future for that portability issue and leave the coolmate sitting on it's stand were it probable will never leave from. The "BOILERMAKER" promised me a used CK unit he has in his work truck but I am not holding my breath , probably frosty refreshment talk . I really did not save that much money parting my set up rather than going with the contractor kit & spent a lot of time shopping, comparing, and then still going diomandback... Live and learn

James,

Let me know when you are ready and I'll send you a list of my preferences. In short: I use the heavy duty foot pedal, made my own work lead (ground cable), Coolmate 4 with the Miller Diamond Back #20 250 amp water cooled torch. When you are ready I'll be gald to give you part numbers, etc. As for torches the Diamond Back #20 will do 90% of what I do and probably 100% for most folks. I have 6 torches each set up for a specific application. 3 are water cooled and 3 are air cooled. Don't under estimate an air cooled torch for portability and convenience.

Hawk

thanks ill let you know when it is here

[lramberson]

You can learn a **** of a lot by following HAWKS lead, now I don't feel so bad having the four on the floor. Hawk if it is not too much trouble could you pm me that list. Thanks in advance.

Iamberson,

Here is a copy of a post from the old format I had written in response to a similar question: Why not the Contractor's Kit??? If you want additional information, just shoot me an email through the forum or [email protected]

I hope this is what you want. It's not that late, but I am really tired - long story. Let me know. Thanks for the compliment.

lots of cool stuff and a free jacket coopon

P.S. the tig book is the 1 you can download but i was going to buy the book even after i downloaded it

I believe it does. I gave my coupon away because I had no plans to buy a new welder. The 210 is what I bought.

[fun4now]

210 yes

the 210 is 1 of the welders on the list

as for giving away your coopon you should have used your recept from your 210 and sent it in, it said nothing about when you get or got the welder i got mine in Jan. and sent it yesterday.as an afterthought it might be werth getting a second student pack for a new coupon and having a set of books in the shop and in the house . i realy like whwt i have goten to read of my books and am thinking of another set for in the house as it seems anytime i get a chance to read i have to go to the shop to get it or come in out of the shop to get it at $25.00 i think i'll get another set to save me the walk

a 2nd jacket for the lil woman would get me a few "tool" points to boot

[sparky123]

my set of books came yesterday. i sat down and read them all cover to cover. this was the best $25 investment i ever made. being new to the wonderful world of welding these should be a great asset.
