Dang, GMB; I got suckered in by another "NGRZT" - I hate when that happens (New Guy Resurrected Zombie Thread)... Steve

wb4rt - Sounds like you have the older transformer version of the MM211 - That was my first mig about 10 years ago, then found a MM252 for less than half new and sold the 211 to a friend - later I missed the portability and got the (current) MM211 inverter version - not only has a better drive system...

MM252 display reads whichever gun you last touched the trigger on - mig gun readout AND adjustment is all done on the big knobs on machine panel, but the spoolgun has that remote wire feed knob on the bottom of the grip. The WFS DOES read out on the machine, but WFS adjust happens on the spoolgun handle....

The 200 amp spec is at 100% duty cycle - miller doesn't spec maximum amps at less than 100%, but the MM252 is only rated 100% up to 160 amps - at 200 amps, the 252 is only 60% and at 250, only 40% - So my statement that the 30A can take anything the MM252 can put out, still stands...

Another...

Oh, and you better HOPE that "A" doesn't mean Amps; those guns can take pretty much anything the MM252 can put out and are rated for 200 amps at 100% duty cycle - I've used mine with .035 steel wire at over 180 amps and it barely gets warm... Steve

Keep in mind that's a 15' gun - if you need 30, you can replace the cable for only $340 or so
