Comparison... Miller - I-Mig

[srp]

The reason people like the caddy mig is that it is an inverter welder I believe...
Spatter has a lot to do with inductance as well, which Miller's is fixed. Once you see what being able to tune your spatter will do for you, you won't be satisfied with fixed inductanced.

I think Everlast, Miller and Esab will all put down good welds. Would be nice if the different kinds of electronics used in each was explained in detail to give the buyer more data to consider, things like inductance, synergic, transformer or inverter and if IGBT's are used.

The Miller 211 does have preflow and a slow wire speed that speeds up after the arc is established, I am not sure if I like the slow wire speed on the start. I like a little bit slower wire speed than most, on the start with a already slow wire speed, penetration is not as deep as the rest of the weld. I would like to know if other brands of welders do this and is that is the trade off for a spatter free start, having less penetration on the start?
