No, I am not a shop teacher, I'm a sculptor, but I have found that I enjoy teaching. It is a challenge for me to put into words what I do automatically. As for Millers, I have two of them (a MIG and a TIG), They perform very well and they have awesome technical support both online and on the phone. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
@SKoGoMoney Yes, If you run this machine without the gas then you have to run flux core wire. You will get the same slag that you get when you ARC weld. The gas does the same thing as the flux on the ARC rods. This is a MILLER 251. The newer 250 is a much improved machine over this one. While I do use Miller you should keep in mind that there are several great brands out there to chose from. I would try to stay away from the overseas brands though. Thanks for the great questions.
You don't have an idea how much videos I looked about comparing welders and THIS video is CLEAR as Water. It can't be better and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing! I really appreciate it.
You are welcome. Glad to share my knowledge anyway I can. Stop by my site and sign up for the newsletter when you get the chance. Please remember to give me a rating also. I up date about once a week so check back often.
Wow Kevin, thanks for the video! I've actually been considering getting into sculpting metal over the last while, so it's somewhat funny to learn that you yourself are a sculptor. Great video, I had an idea about the different types of welding equipment, but your video cleared things up!
SWEET! That was a fascinating video. I had heard of a TIG welder, but had no idea how that one worked. So the next time I'm out your way, can I stop by the shop and do some experimental welding? That's what it would be since I've never done it before! That might be a funny video to do together!
Kevin are you a shop teacher? If not you should be as your explanations are very clear and I also love the fact that you are using Miller welders,a big plus in my book.
very good explantion for those not in the know. Ive got myself a TIG that im finally getting my head around. Got any videos of your technique i can watch?
I'm thinking about making a she'd that's welding safe and friendly, how about a walk-around of your shop for some ideas or suggestions something you may have changed or done for tips thanks.
Hi, I guess you've answered this a thousand times but - I have flux core mig welder that i use to repair my van & general use for making the odd bracket/thing for my joinery work, the flux core is ok but cleaning the slag off is a pain sometimes, do you think it is worth me buying a gas mig machine as all my welding has to be done outside, my joinery shop has too much wood n shavings in to take the risk of welding inside it. I'm guessing with your work you weld outside fairly often, what do you use & have you a vid of this? BTW i live in England windy & rainy is the norm here.
Thanks, yep that's what i thought n the reason i haven't got one yet. it's rare we get get calm dry days here. not enough to be able to make plans around anyway, I do get jealous when i see the nice clean welds on the internet by people with gas machines, Thanks for the vids, your clear and factual ;)
Haha... Good oldie vid. Looking into tig now. Doing great with my mig. Want to get into aluminum more, tig machine suggestion? Have the hobart handler mig. 220v avail. Nothing over 1/4". Let me know, thx. Brian. Lake Havasu-☀️ AZ. Oh.. say under $1200?

Glad I could help. Check back often, I update about once a week.
You look so young in these videos.

@jcreswick Thanks, glad you could stop by for a visit.

Excellent comparison well done! like no other on youtube, fully informative thanks.

Wow thanks so much! I have been wondering about the differences. I learned with torch, and I'm glad I did.
@hangoutsumtime That is a Miller Syncrowave® 200. Damn fine machine. More than I will ever use.
Great video. Well explained.
Thank you
You're welcome
Not really. I will try to put something togeather and get it up for viewing. Thanks for the request.
Excellent explanation. Thank you. /John
I am currently going to go for a carrer in Welding hoping one day ill be certified . Any advine for a beginner? Your vids are great by the way!
I'm thinking about making a she'd that's welding safe and friendly, how about a walk-around of your shop for some ideas or suggestions something you may have changed or done for tips thanks.
That's a great idea! Will add it to the list!
Thanks for watching.
OH wait!!! I did that already.

I would have to say for outdoors you already have the best thing. The wind will be your biggest problem using Mig with gas.
