Welding cart Lincoln 210MP

[cleetus]

Built a welding cart for the new lincoln 210MP. I sold my large ESAB Migmaster 250 when I moved to WYO and needed something smaller, and this welder kicks butt. It welds extremely well out of the box, runs 110 or 220, and can do stick and DC tig. I have had no problem with any welds thus far with the settings it provides. Its the first welder Ive owned with the auto settings, and it works great.

Fired up the CNC table and bender and got to building.

On to pics:

I wanted it to hold two cylinders so I could set up the tig side of the machine and do both with no changes...

Drew up the top on SolidWorks:

All done with the big work:

Added the handle and lead hangers, Will add in a shelf eventually....

Nice work.

Nice work!

I am strongly considering this machine.
Currently, I have a MillerMatic 175. While it's fine for my uses, I would like something a little 'bigger'. I also want a TIG setup for doing stainless.

I just keep debating getting an all in one machine like the Lincoln 210 MP or the ThermalArc/Tweeco Fabricator 252i..
OR just getting a straight TIG machine from Everlast.

Im not sure if I would run it in a production shop, but Im not running a shop anymore. Its done everything Ive asked it, up to 3/8 at this point. The tig functions work well. I wish it had a second solenoid for running the argon. I ended up getting the tig torch with a gas valve on it, and it works fine, just a little hassle turning it on and off every time. Foot control works good, and the settings it provides for tig have worked every time.

The fabricatior costs about 500 more for the same machine. The miller has a built in solenoid but its a grand more.
