The 200 came to market in 78 I believe, and was the top of the market machine in its size and ability in the timeframe.

All you gotta do is unplug one connector and plug in another one.Īs far as the 200 being the best machine Miller ever built, I'll hold to that position. The MM200 can support a remote feeder, any machine that can suport a spoolgun can suport a remote feeder. Well now we both know there isn't a way in hell a single Ø rectifier can deliver the same quality of DC a 3Ø rectifier can, that's just one of them inconvenient laws of Physics AlGor can't repeal.

My eyes are a little too old to play the tunes he can with that machine.Ģ000 hours plus of his work went to the ski slopes of Italy for the last Olympics, and I figure it's a lot easier to let him weld aluminum. I let my bud Danny handle that end with his CobraMatic. Then again, I ain't welding special alloys with a programable power suply. Weldors come equipped with trigger fingers to perform them functions. The spot, stitch, and burn back timers, ain't got a machine with them on it, and always figured them things were primarily for machines operated by robots. Fortunately the machines I already own will last the rest of my life. Somehow I just can't warm up to a machine that needs to be plugged into a laptop for arc characteristics, and I definitely don't like the way Miller is playing the software game when compared to Lincoln. They both let bean counters run the show and lie their asses off about machine capability till you get to the real money machines. It's a lot easier to remote the drive from that machine than it is to move the 200 around.Īs things stand today, I'm not real impressed with either Lincoln or IndochinaThugWorks. Of course I give it a break and let the Hobart 400 amp suply fill in on bigger wire. My MM 200 was born in 81, and still runs and drives every day, and it's never lived in a heated environment for more than a few days. Miller's attempt to upscale to the MM 250 was a disaster, and the company won't recover what that machine did to their reputation till a lot of guys die.

William the consensus is the MM 200 is the finest machine Miller ever made until you get into the inverter power suplys with the programable power.
