I am all for buying used but that is always a "beating down point " i like to make with a guy selling something , if i get this thing home and something is wrong your price isn't such a good price and i am stuck with a $500 POS . it doesn't seem like you did bad $600 in a $12-1500.00 machine...

last July someone kicked my back door in just like you have there and stole a bunch of tools and other personal stuff in my house . the cops told me if you don't use your door just board it up and don't use it any more . i didn't want to do that so i put a more secure door in and a bar so it can't...

it looks to me like the part of the bracket that comes down is not the same thickness as the one that mounts to the frame if it were mine i would use those as a pattern and make some the same thickness as the U shaped one and box it in and make a gusset on top of the U shaped bracket out of square tubing...

positioner

you would really be better off getting a lathe chuck because no matter what you use you will have to adapt some sort of gear box and electric motor to turn while you are welding and you will end up cutting this thing apart and you have no way of hanging on to anything, those...

HI ALL ! i have been welding a little with my 252 and have not heard the fan kick on yet . my question, is it supposed to come on only when it gets hot or is it supposed to come on all the time ? i by no means have been working it very hard short beads at short intervals but i do leave the machine turned...

Hold out for a good used one

[ctinberg]

Thanks for the info guys . a little FYI I called Miller tech support today and they told me if i have 6/3 wire i could use up to 100 ft. for a cord ."definitely didn't expect that " something to keep in mind . thanks again Chris

[ctinberg]

AZEDGE thanks for replying ,i wish i had your expertise . the more i read about this the more in depth of a problem it seems i have . as for the wire not feeding when you pull the trigger wire should come out rather you are welding or not right? i have done allot of digging on the net today and have...
