Delay of welding machines?

[doobie]

I truly hope it works out for you guys!!! I’m thinking I’m getting smoke blown up my butt!! Honesty goes a long way with me....

[doobie]

No,no not at this point.couple more days. Lol. I believe in people.(for the most part)

Just really sucks, paid for big blue in full beginning of august, was told 5 business days! Kept getting told 2 weeks by distributor over and over. I Contact Miller and told two weeks, came and went, now still waiting.

[doobie]

Ok, maybe I should rephrase, is there anybody here that personally is waiting? And if so how long? And did you just do a deposit or pay in full? Can msg me answer too. All good, just curious.

[doobie]

So you are a distributor that can’t get machines from Miller? Just looking for context. Thx

[doobie]

Is it just me or has anybody else paid for a machine and been waiting over a month?? Just curious. Thx

Thanks for all the help Rig hand.Yes the wire is innershield(hobart 21B)and it will be over the 6010 root.I have done this before and it works great as long as the flux is ground out of the root.It still is a little touchy to blow through and you really have to move to do the fill pass and have to have...

Sorry i should have mentioned that.Its welded in the field in position and with a 12vs wire feeder with 5/64 fluxcore fill and cap with a 1/8 6010 root pass

[doobie]

i have heard of it but any welder i have ever talked to has never actually seen it happen.I personally dont unhook any thing and i mainly work on heavy forestry equipment that have alot of electonics and have never had a problem but i always make sure my ground is next to me.if the customer expresses...

I use a trailer set up as a portable workshop.If my truck breaks down,i just hook the trailer to another truck but a truck and skid is definately easier to manouver around.I just prefer to have all my equipment handy and enclosed and out of the snow and rain.
