So what do I think about this welder
good price, for a hobby grade welder. Just pick it up today. In the first stages of trying it out.
Was in the welding store picking up my normal stuff, and asked about the welder to the sales men. Well he didn't tell me much about it that I didn't know about anyway. The welder was on sale picked it up for under $400, so a home depo welder is more than that, and their junk. I haven't seen alot of feed back about this welder so I am going to try. But I'm still in the first stages of it if I like it or not.
first is quality of the case of the welder. the out side looks good for a small welder. most super comp rigs are bigger than this welder, but looks good and well made.
the tig and gas line are also well made. The gas line is a outer braded fabric so better for the line so no kinks, unless you really pull the line. the tig torch looks like it will hold up as well. And I think that my miller and this thermal arc will take the same brass inserts aswell as the tungsten rods,and ceramic cups. So no hunting for different parts for the two welders. Witch makes a the 95s look real good for $400. So what that means that if you welding store has miller tig parts they will have parts for the 95s.
The one thing that I will have to get use to is that is a grounded start on the 95s. So what that is is the tungten tip has to be tuching the steel before you can start welding. to me that is the bigest problam with it. It's going to be hard to change welding habits, from the miller to this. the different part from my miller to this is, that the miller is a foot feed and auto start gas on regulated gauge. the 95s is self start and manual gas on. set the gas regulator to what you want(like 10psi) and fine tune it with the nob on the tig. (the tig torch has a nob that you turn with your finger).
So all in all the 95s welds are vary nice, and witch when I'm used to welding with it. it will only get better.
And the two welders are two different welders. the miller is a vary good welder. but it also is $2000 welder. The thing is that I'm used to welding with the set up, and to be fair to the 95s. I will need more time welding with it to make a good side by side comparison between the two welders.
the price of the 95s $418 tax included
the miller 185 was right at $1950 six years ago,and that was a extention cord. that was right at $180
And the last thing that I like about the 95s is the size, and being 110v. I can take it about any place that I want. the miller is 220v and big. hard to pack on your shoulder like the 95s.
So if your looking to get one. In my own option, for the price it's a good deal, at this stage of use. If this is any help to anyone let me know I'll leave more feedback after some use.
