The Big Mig Test
Tested out my new Millermatic today and it worked very well. Welded in a donar floorboard from a 67' cab on the passengerside of old greeny. I ordered some new cab mounts from LMC so still waiting on them. They were $29.95 each american. Im not sure yet how much it will cost to ship them here and with the exchange rate and all. Oh well i guess i will find out sooner or later.

Millermatic is a good line of welding equipment, this is what I have and it`s been great. Much better than the Princess Auto line of welders according to my buddy that has a welder repair shop, he says they don`t last and are too hard to get parts for.
Let us know when the cab mounts arrive and what you think of the fit/ quality.

We've got a Lincoln, and even though its gettin up there in age, it still works good. Trigger on the stinger sticks every now and then, but thats the only issue. If only I could say that about our new plasma......

One minor gripe about the millermatic is if you set the gun down sometimes depending on how you set it down, it activates the trigger and spools out some line,not to mention wasting gas.I was thinking of Putting some sort of guard around it to prevent this. You would think miller would be aware of this incovenience?

I have finally learned to hang my gun up instead of laying it down being carefull to avoid the trigger. Still a big pain but with practice I mange to avoid the problem most of the time.

I usually buy my wire from Praxair in Regina.One time it ran out so I put on a roll of some stuff I bought on sale at Princess Auto and I could tell right away that it wasn't the same quality as I thought there was something wrong with my machine.It wasn't until I replaced that roll that I figured out the only problem was the wire.The funny thing is the regular price of wire at Praxair isn't bad.
