I came up with a good excuse to buy a aluminum mig gun for my miller welder
nice box, everything there. a caution, there are two prices, one with the switch you need, one without. This came with the switch
my miller 180 - what a great machine, does everything I need, not too big to do sheet metal, not to small to be unable to weld a car trailer
the aforementioned switch
installs in that blank spot with the sticker
wiring diagram inside - this gets updated
to this
maybe I should blow this out.... once every 10 years.... whether it needs it or not
I love that they have that yellow tag there that says "these are the wires you need to install the switch in"
I'd call it fool proof, but I got them.....
note the switch itself doesn't mark on or off? 100% chance I'd get it wrong and sure enough
and a weld
and another
review
it's really easy to use, and kind of easy to jam up. I like how well they thought out the documenting for the install, I wish they'd spent as much time on the wire feed. I've already eaten 2 tips (fused the wire) and had to pull the gun apart once to unspring the wire. Add to that that the rollers don't come far enough apart and it could have been better. That said, I did learn you can pull the drive wheels out with the gun intact and (once) get the springed wire out*
*what happens is the wire fuses to the tip because it was either going too fast or too slow, that stops the very soft wire dead.. the motor doesn't stop so the wire coils in front of the liner that goes to the tip.... with that said, even the brief bit I used it, I started to get the hang of it so I hope that jamming is more a newb thing then anything else
