Let's see your Welders


bought a miller211 about a couple months ago, already put 2 1lb rolls through it and halfway though a 12lb one, badass little machine worth every penny:headbang:

Two of my friends just bought Miller 211's. I've used them a bit and they're great - it's nice to know that some one has an alternative when I get tired of stick welding or my 110v wire feed isn't enough :D
 
Craftsman 120v mig. It will weld up to 1/4" plate on a double pass.

My dad has a gas powered stick welder.

I like it. I learned to weld with it and it works great for what I need right now.
Same one i got. I welded together both my bumpers that are made of 3/16 and i think it done a pretty good job. the front bumper has my 8500lb winch sitting on it too and the bumper hasnt tweaked or let go yet.

I have a 140 amp mig welder from Harbor Freight. I am super impressed with it! It's pretty easy to make a good weld with it.

My first welder just arrived a simadre CT-520D. Took me a while to figure out the plasma torch needed to be grounded..im new to welding take it easy lol. and after a little bit of google research I was able to get the 220v plug wired up. I can melt the crap outa metal..today was just fun mess around day, ill start learning tomorrow. I cut a bunch of things with the plasma torch so I can attempt to weld em back together tomorrow. I havent tried out the tig as I dont have an argon setup, workin on it though.

I have built quite a bit of stuff with it since I got it. Not any offroad fab yet, as I purchased it before my diesel project, but here is some of my stuff I built with it:

My welder count is 3. First was a 120amp Harbor Freight stick welder, pain to work with most of the time. Second was a Wards AC/DC 220V stick welder, that thing is a BEAST, and a steal too that I got at Goodwill for $20, looked almost new but from the 70's or 80's :). Third welder is a 90A flux core from Harbor Freight, it's my go to machine now since the Wards welder is at my moms and I don't have a proper extension cord at my place for it at the moment.

If I need something beefy welded we have an old Lincoln Ideal Arc with a wirefeed setup on top of it at work, now THAT is a welder!
 
I picked up my first welder yesterday, a Hobart Handler 135.

This is a miller wildcat 200 amp gas powered stick welder, a dynasty 200DX stick and tig welder, and a Spectrum 375 extreme plasma cutter.
 
My Hobart 140 I picked up last week, and my half finished cart for it.
