If it aint blue it won't do. I love Miller welders. The 211 is a great unit.

I use the same unit for sheetmetal work with .023 wire and it is one of the best units I own. All my welders are blue.

My lincoln when i bought was outperforming the miller that was competing with my lincoln.I wanted the more bang for the buck,and lincoln gave it to me.No problems with my lincoln.

Re: mig Welder question

211 is a awesome unit, if I had the money I would be upgrading my 230 century.. have a miller 140 also and it is perfect for doing sheet metal work..

x1923 on the miller aswell!

Re: mig Welder question

Thank for your thoughts. I'll be picking it up on Thursday. Its going to replace a Marquette 220V I've had for 10yrs. circuit board got fryed for some reason and thought it would be a good excuse to start looking. My wife is convinced I break my own tools just to replace them with newer and better ones. The starter on my riding mower went out on Sunday. Guess I have to do more shopping this week Kubota 48" 0-turn. Yeah Baby!! HEhehehehehe!!

Re: mig Welder question

I was leaning towards cyberworld for the 211 then I found one slightly used. It looks brand new still.
