Hi Guys, after a long time seeking a good deal I finally got a Miller Syncrowave 250....

Any comments, good or bad?

It seems a decent machine to me, but is there anything I should look for or be aware of?

Cheers,

Alan

bloody good machine mate, very reliable and easy to use/maintain, i have used the 250 for the last 11 years

Cheers mate, just what I wanted to hear...

Aye throw away yer Mig fer chassis work trust me you will be converted.... wishbones..... petrol tanks!!!!!!
Shug.

Hugh,
did you own a brown TR8 about 20 years ago ?

I'll second Shug on this he's converted me! It is a great process particularly if you have worked on gas before, all the control and neatness faster and with less heat.

You got Tig? Luck git!

I would love a Tig machine.

I did quite a lot and got my city and guilds in it a while back.

Hoping to go halves with someone on one day. Might cheat and go with one of these new-fangled inverter types but the boys at work who use them all day recon they're not as good as the old type.

Cheers,
Tig Lover

I would go halves with you James but I think
we perhaps are a little too far apart and I would probably need to use it more than you as I haven't had the practice you have PS . I wouldn't want to fight you for it.

As if he's going to own up to that I used one years ago and would like to try again but I wouldn't get rid of the mig. I still have a portapack but the bottles are empty and it doesn't get used any more.

Pete,
I knew a Hugh Patterson, I think from Cambuslang many years ago. We both worked in the same garage. He had a brown TR8, I had a green one. A guy who did fabrication there called davey (never knew his full name) was an expert with TIG - he demonstrated welding cigarette paper once - not very neat but he joined two bits.
Anyway, I've been wondering for a while if this is the same Shug.
