I just did the same repair/cleaning job on my machine after watching this video and it fixed my no-arc issue. Thank you very much Mike! Can't tell you how pleased I am!! :D
Thank you for this very helpful video. I bought one of these and had no knowledge of it at all. Your video showed me everything I needed to know. Thank You.
@@Mikeattempts I found the wires for the cup safety switch had come loose from someone jerking on the torch. Hooked the wires back up and it cuts like a hot knife through butter.
bought a 375 spectrum w/ ICE-27c from a pawn shop but no workee. The cutter powers up and the air works; but as soon as i pull the trigger, the power light starts blinking. Double checked the wiring according to printed schematic found under the cover, looks good. To weed out a weak power switch, I hard wired the main power switch, and used 2 fuses to act as the voltage supply switch (115vac or 230vac). Then when I pulled the trigger, both 20amp fuses blow. I haven't tried powering the unit in the 230vac configuration. Idk... if the cost for getting my plasma cutter repaired exceeds the cost of a new harbor freight plasma cutter, Im trashing the miller. :( I hate to support china via HF):
The Power light blinks when you pull the trigger, not one of the other "trouble lights" for Pressure, Cup, and Temp? Did you take apart the torch tip to make sure the pieces are in good shape and installed in the correct position? I'm no pro but, if you've done all of that, it kinda sounds like an electrical issue. If it is electrical though, it must not be a short since it didn't trip your breaker the first time you tried it out.
Hahaha yeah, since I had never used a plasma cutter before, I was instinctively pressing down like I though the extra force would help the cut. :) Once logic kicked in, it went much more smooth. I still need a lot more practice though. Thanks for watching!
If you maintain a 1/8 inch stand off between the torch nozzle and the material, you will obtain better cuts and extend the consumable life considerably.
Thanks for the tip. I looked for one of those standoff tips but I don't think they make one for my torch. I'll attempt to maintain the gap freehand but I'm gonna need some more practice. :)
thank you for this nice video, please i need help, i have miller spectrum 2255 plasma cutter 400V but wthout power circuit card, if you can help me to find picture only
I wasn't able to find an actual picture but page 26 of the manual shows all the parts and the part numbers are on pages 27 & 28: www.millerwelds.com/files/owners-manuals/o193410a_mil.pdf

That's awesome, I really enjoy reading comments like this!
Very nice job. Need more troubleshooters like you.
Thanks, I really appreciate the kind words! :)

I'm glad the video was helpful, I didn't know anything about plasma cutters either! :)
I have to say that you are really delicate with all the components inside the case. No Bull in the China shop here. VF
Yep, the last thing I want to do is break more stuff. :) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I just pulled one of these out of a recycling bin and hope to get it working
Good luck, let me know how it goes!

@@joshuapopich5215 That's awesome and you got it for free, right? Nice job!
Great job Mike!!

Nice job. Keep working on it and you'll get better.

Nice job sir!
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Very good very good video
Thanks!
Please repair thermal dynamic plasma cutter
I'll try if I'm able to find one. Thanks for watching!
Hello, excellent your video, a query when you release the cut button how many seconds you have left the air coming out through the torch. Thank you
The manual says 20-30 seconds. Thanks for watching!
What's the fiberglass ring below the swirl ring
I'm not sure. On my torch, there's nothing below the swirl ring, it just sits down inside the torch head.
If you maintain a 1/8 inch stand off between the torch nozzle and the material, you will obtain better cuts and extend the consumable life considerably.
Thanks for the tip. I looked for one of those standoff tips but I don't think they make one for my torch. I'll attempt to maintain the gap freehand but I'm gonna need some more practice. :)
Nice repair. I own miller equipment. I suggest you download the manual for your unit. Your cutting will improve.
Yep, I definitely need more practice. :) Thanks for watching!

9:56 you use your vise just like ornament
Hahaha, I didn't realize that screw was gonna be so tight! :)
Use puré oxygen instead of air that increments the deep in cut
Good tip but I don't have an oxygen tank... yet. :)
I have no idea what any of that means but they look happy so I assume it's good! :)
Mud wasp. Like dirt dobbers
Yep, exactly.
turn the air pressure up and put a shroud on the plasma cutter torch
I set it to 60 PSI, which was the recommended pressure. What do you think I should increase it to for a 27-amp plasma cutter like this?
