What do you need to make the spacer on the I-Mig 205 for the 2lb rolls?

Never buy 2lb spools of mig wire, you will go broke buying them and they last about 30 minutes!!!!!

I have the Imig 200 owned the millermatic 211 before I bought the Imig. I purchased the Imig 200 so I can carry it on job sites. It's a good welder, and I have liked it very much. I am now looking to upgrade to at least a 250 amp mig welder more heavy duty, more duty cycle. I've gotten to the point where I'm bumping the limits of my Imig 200 on duty cycle and amps. It's always good to look at what you need and maybe go one size up. When I purchased my Imig I was doing smaller jobs (fence repair, smokers, trailer repairs, etc) so it was well within the range of power I needed. Think about what you may need in the future. The 205 and 205p have more duty cycle than the 200. The 205p offers pulse which makes a difference if your mig welding aluminum. If you can afford a mig 250 go that route and be done with it.

Small section of PVC pipe...same as some other companies use, but charge 40.00 for one.

Thanks for the timely thread, I have a few questions myself.

Does the 250p do stick? Does it come with an electrode holder that uses the euro connector or is there a hidden dinse somewhere?

Are rollers available for flux core? How about for .023?

Can the wheels and cylinder holder be easily removed?

You many have taken a look at the Canadian site. Our's has been like this since around the first of the year or earlier.

No flux core availability for this unit that I am aware of at this time, no .023 as it is a 250 amp 4 drive roll machine.
Yes it does have a stick function. The distant picture was of an mockup model without the added DINSE.
The wheels can be removed, but the cylinder holder is part of the unit if I remember right. It may be able to be unbolted, but not sure at this point.

The machine doesn't come with a stinger for stick welding (at least mine didn't) but it is capable. The + and - dinse connectors are uesd for stick welding. The same stinger that comes with everlast's larger tig machines fits it (35-70 dinse).
My machine came with extra .030-035/040 (.8/1.0) nurled roller for flux core/dual shield . The same size V rollers for steel came installed.
The wheels can be easily removed as well as all cylinder rack bracing, but the floor is one piece and extends about 10 inches past the back of the welder.
Here's a link to the drive roller page which is buried in mig consumables for some reason. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/Mi...oller-Kits.php

Great, I notice there is no stick duty cycle listed on the web page chart, but the max amps are stated as 200; is this correct?

I don't really need another stick holder. Like Mark noted, the pics don't give a good idea of what is going on, a euro connector for a stinger just seemed too oddball. Is the gun fed from a dinse pigtail sticking out the front like the other I-migs? i.e. is it capable of DCEN?

My machine came with extra .030-035/040 (.8/1.0) nurled roller for flux core/dual shield . The same size V rollers for steel came installed.

So the standard equipment is one .8/1.0 V and one .8/1.0 knurled? No 1.0/1.2 at all?

Oh well, I guess I can just cut it off when I get around to building a cart. Thanks for the link, Sometimes I find the site rather difficult to navigate so I forget to even try.

I've never used the stick function but yes it should be capable of dcen.
I'm not sure what you're asking in the first part of the question. The mig torch uses a euro connector.

All the other I-migs (at least according to the pictures) have a pigtail sticking out the front to feed the euro connector that can be plugged into either dinse making the mig torch itself DCEN. I know it isn't the usual polarity, but I've seen references to some flux core wires that call for it.

[Rodsmachineshop]

all mig welders are switchable to dcen or you wouldn't be able to weld aluminum with them or use flux wire. who has used flux mig wire its like a turbo charged burn a lot hotter lol use flux when welding horse corral pipe out side works great on zinc coated pipe

The addition of the knurled roller is new one for me, but that does mean someone in the factory is listening to our requests to include them.

A VERY important comment here guys to STOP the rumor mill.

The .8 and .1 groove ISN'T .030 and .035!!!!

There is 25.4 mm in one inch. You take .8 and divide by 25.4 and you end up with .031 or really it is a .030 for our purposes here in the US . Also the 1.0 mm ends up by the same token as .39 or .040 for our standards.

Here's the deal.

The small groove is good for .030 and .035

The large is good for .040 and .045.

I am not sure why you'd want to build a cart for a welder that is designed with one built in and is quite functional. This unit is rather large and not going to fit on any other type cart very well.

I have my mig wire custom made to .031 since i am picky lol

Thanks for the correction... I should've done the math.
