Miller MigMatic 175 MIG Welder

If you’re starting your Welding adventure, then take a serious look at the Miller MigMatic 175 MIG Welder.

This machines is capable of both MIG & Flux-Cored/Gasless welding, both processes being more beneficial over other options. Easy to use having better control on thin metal & offer high speed welds where possible.

It has a traditional tapped design, and runs on a single phase 230v power source.

The 175 Welder is one of the best in the market, and runs at 150 A at 35% Duty Cycle. It has an undercarriage with a bottle rack allowing the welder to store and transport the power source & equipment.

This machine includes  150Amp x 3m Torch & Regulator.

Miller’s True Blue 3-Year Warranty.

The mig welder allows you to adjust the welding parameters. This broadens the range of applications this machine can weld.

The Industrial dual gear driven system has  reversible knurled drive roll for solid wire (0.6mm / 0.8mm), and a knob to adjust the tension.

When changing to solid or flux-cored /gasless wires, the accessible output terminals allow for convenient polarity changeover.

If the machine’s transformer or rectifier overheat, the thermal overload protection technology will shut down the power source output.

The fan cooling system provides consistent flow of air in and around the machines critical components, ensuring reliable & consistent performance.

The machine’s traditional tapped 6-step design & laminated inductor allow for a stable, smooth arc presenting the welder with consistent weld quality.

The machines allows for quick & easy torch installation with its euro-style torch adapter. It also allows the operator to connect another torch that can be used for other applications.

The Miller Migmatic 175  has a 15 kilogram spool capacity with a professional reel holder, allowing for the use of economic MIG wires.

The 175 has an undercarriage & bottle carrier, making the unit easy to move around.

What can Mig Welding be used for?

MIG welding can be used to weld all common metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel and aluminum, and the process is much more forgiving on thin metals than Stick welding.

MIG welding enables the farmer, rancher or DIY welder to make most types of maintenance and repair welds on material from 24-gauge up to 1/2-inch thick.

Also, greater speeds can be achieved with MIG welding compared to Stick welding, which reduces the time spent on repairs.

The continuous wire feed of MIG welding also minimizes stops and starts, which contributes to more consistency and efficiency in the process.

How should the weld sound?  Listen for “Sizzling Bacon”:

The proper wire stickout for MIG welding should be around 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch from the contact tip, possibly a little longer for tight joint access. Stickout refers to the length of unmelted wire that extends from the end of the contact tip.

One good rule of thumb is to listen for the “sizzling bacon” sound; if the arc sounds irregular, one common culprit could be too long of a wire stickout.
