Can someone show me some welds done with thePower I-IMIG 250P please.
Additionally, I would appreciate any input on the machine itself.
How readily available are the consumables?
Can you change the torch?
All input is greatly appreciated.
Mike.

The torch is either Binzel or Trafimet. These are name brand, and depending upon your local supplier can be bought locally, (and online quite easily). These are some of the nicest and most comfortable torches on the market. We use the Euro quick connect on our units. This is a universal style that every torch manufacturer I believe can make their torches in. This is the same as ESAB and others. One of our guys went and bought a profax with tweco fittings because he wanted a longer torch.
Thank you.
Do you know where I could see some welds made with the machine or some pictures?
Again, Appreciated.
Mike
Didn't you say you are from S. Florida? Mike in tech support lives in S. FL. He has one.
Yes, I am in "The Redlands" Just outside of Miami.. Above/West of Homestead.. Everglades in my back yard.
I'm currently working at the Miami Art Museum so, I drive a little north everyday.
Just on the edge of Biscayne Bay/Miami Beach.
This is with my Imig 200 12gauge sheet, the 205p is more machine with more features.

Here's some I have done with a 160/200 series unit. This is 1/4" steel to 3/16" wall tubing if I remember right, with .030 wire.
Thanks guys.
Nice welds.
Both of you guys are using smaller machines I see. With very good results.
I am curious about the benefits I will see with the additional features of the 250?
Mike
No doubt the 250p is a better machine. If I ever get a shop to work in I will get a 250p or the MTS 400. Get the machine you need to do the jobs you do! I'm good with my Imig200, but I have a power arc 200 to back me up when I need it!Quote:

Word to the wise, Mike. When buying tools, buy the biggest and strongest that you can justify ever using. As you move up you get more duty cycle, more power, more features, etc. You never know when you need it.
How much would you have to pay an hour to get a part welded that you couldn't handle with a smaller machine ? And remember, welding shops don't just charge for the welding. They charge to set up, going to the bathroom, having coffee, preping the work, do the welding, inspecting it, clean up, billing, shipping, etc.
If you think a welder is expensive, trying hiring a welding shop to do it for you. Then you find out what it really costs to not have a welder. And machine tools for that matter.
Caveat. I have no affiliation with Evergreen other than I bought 2 machines from them.
Is Evergreen a division of Conifer welders ?Quote:
