Hallo,
I am posting here in the miller site but im basically copy and paste from the Hobart site..
Well as some of you may know I just got a used Tig/Stick machine! I returned my HH180 Mig because I wanted a TIG instead... Its a Maxstar 152 with Snap Start II HF unit with it! I got it on ebay and its still in good condition pretty well taken care of! Seller of the machine was very nice!! Smooth transaction and very good communication...
The packaged that came with it are:
-Maxstar 152
-Snap Start II (high frequency)
-Miller Foot Control (14pin)
-CP-300 Pulser Control
-CK 212 Water Cooled Torch
-Ground Clamp
The seller was extra cool cuz, he gave me a free Bernard Water cooler machine, but it does not work, cuz it needs a new pump as per the seller...but ill see if I can get just some of the parts! but what do I know..I have no clue! hahahaa..
And few days ago I got a 80cf bottle of Argon and a Flow Gauge regulator...man how bottles are expensive!
I still cant weld, cuz I dont have an air-cooled torch...basically I cant run the water cooled either cuz the cooler machine isnt working. I am currently looking to get an air-cooled torch.
I do have some questions regarding the machine...I know what the post/pre flows are because someone explained to me, but when does the preflow start? cuz, from my understanding it should flow sheilding gas before the arc starts right? so what is the "trigger" to make is flowing??? Also, how do you use the pulser??? no clue either...haha
I hope that I can enjoy this machine...I am planning on making manifolds, exhaust and some suspension stuff...I took some pics of it...the cart is mine...it was for a MIG but this one fits perfectly!
Thanks for everyone on the board..this is the best board!!! koool!!!
best regards

ps: Sorry to be asking this..but I hope I can get help in getting an aircooled torch. I get confused as to what size and stuff...I read the websites people have told me but I still get confused, it seems like (to me) that the TORCH is the most complicated part?! hahaha..or am I just crazy?!
pps: Someone is selling me a ESAB HW-20 air-cooled torch but it comes with screw type connector in the end and the gas sheilding line is in the middle of the connector. But my machine has a seperate gas outlet and the power
(- negative power).
ppps: Reading from the manual, the size of the gas outlet (female end) from the machine is a 5/8 18 right hand thread and has a Dinse type 50/70 series connector.
Sorry for the long post...and thank you for reading! hehe..
