How do I purchase an I-Mig 200 and use my coupon from the last contest?
Also, do you have these in stock right now?

They should be plentiful. Just call in direct and tell them your id and what coupon it is and what product you wish to buy. There is no secret code or handshake.
Thanks ...
CGC, are you planning to use flux core wire? If yes, you might try feeding flux core with the regular drive wheels. When I purchased my IMIG 200 I was getting a little jammed up about not being able to find flux core drive wheels, and Mike R suggested using the regular wheels. I set up the machine with flux core a couple weeks ago, the regular wheels worked just fine, and I was happy with the welds that resulted. I *will* admit to being amazed at the amount of smoke and BBs.
8 y.o. son said he'd like to try welding, so I figured we try FCAW first, maybe this weekend.
I planned on using solid wire
I don't want the BB's for sure!
Oh, and the slag cleanup, just like stick welding. Just ignore the BBs, they come off when you wire brush the slag! I've got a rusty spot in my driveway from all the sparks and fallout.Quote:

I guess it's true, the more you get, the more you want! :)
I hate flux core........I have an el-cheap Harbor Freight 90 AMP I use for simple stuff around the garage when I don't want to drag out the TIG or Stick. I see a MIG in my future.
I think I may have caught the MIG bug too. Already thinking of where I can fit it in the shop.. :P
I know I caught that bug you all been talking about. I used to be anti mig but latly been using them more and more and im starting to love them. I now know I really wanna mig in my collection.
I gave my Harbor Freight 90 amp El-cheapo to my son ... if you have a good machine flux core has it's place. Mig doesn't do well outside in the wind ... I do prefer MIG in my shop ... it's clean ... doesn't put out the nasty fumes that flux-core or SMAW does but all forms of welding have their place even oxy-acetylene ... happy welding my friend ... it's all good.Quote:

Like DaveO said, the stock rollers will run it just fine as well. We do it on the 160 and 200 all the time. We leave it in the 200 now and it is dubbed the portable unit. Add generator and flux core, will travel $$$
