    WOW!

    The initial string of comments that I made cannot be posted here.

    AWESOME!

    The MM135 is all tricked out with .023 and CO2 for the little stuff. Now, next year, a 180SD, and we be doin' it all!!

    Later, I gotta go play...

    Mm210?

    Congratulations Hank. I'm sure you're totally stoked, but for some reason (I have no idea why), I thought you already had a mig machine in that class.

    Weld on,
    Alex

    Thanks for the good wishes guys.

    This is a very impressive piece of machinery. Since no instuctions came with the dual-cylinder rack, I had a few momonts of head sratching, but the long steel rod that looked like an axle was a big tipoff! I'm kinda glad I got to put it together myself - it gives you some perpective on how things work. I now see why a 3035 cost so much. Very nice tool.

    33# of .035 is a lot different to handle than an 8" spool of .030! Got it all ready to plug in, and WHAT? 6-50P? My face got red. Not from being very mad, but from realizing that I've known that was the plug configuration for a year from posts on thes board! Is there a 6-50R anywhere in the Gadget Garage? Of course not. I've got a **** box that must weigh 50#. One in there? Nope.

    So, in a few minutes, it's off to town! My kids are coming for the weekend anyhow, so I hadda go to the grocery in any case.

    Whacked up some 3/8 coupon material last night - report to come later.

    I know you will love it mine is a couple years old now and still loads of fun, I still cheese when I open the door and see its shining blue shell.

    Hint: for the 3035 I use 4043 wire and use a tip one size larger than the wire, for .030 wire I use a .035 tip. My airgas supply didn't stock the spoolgun tips till I bought mine now they stock two packs of each size just so I don't run out.

    Have a blast, I know you will.

    My wife ran into a department store last month to pay the bill and 30 minutes later I found her buying shoes. I don't complain; she has put up with a lot of tool buying the past 35 years.

When he returns, he tells me "It's in the box. I'll give you an in-the-box-deal: $1600".

    Couldn't stand it. Produced the magical plastic money card and left with a NEW MM210 IN THE BACK OF DIRTY HARRY!

    I've had my 210 for 3 years now and I still enjoy pulling the trigger. My MM210 is one of my best investments, I've never regretted it.
    I slid mine down a 2 X 6" because I couldn't wait for help to unload it. I earned my money back within 3 months with the jobs I took in. I also still love the torch holder and the spool gun hanger, They are so usefull. I'll be right back, I gotta go give my machine a hug!
