Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Mig and plasma size

[Recon1st@aol.com]

Glen I live deep in the woods of Northern Minnesota and barely have single phase.

I do how ever have an older Bridgeport CNC Mill that is 3 phase. I use a powered converter

to run it and it works fine. The converters can be built or purchased and are not that

expensive.

Hello Glen,

Is there some way you can wire in a two phase plug to your shop?  When it comes to a good all round MIG welding machine fore your average smaller submarines, I understand a 200 amp 220 volt unit fits the bill pretty well.  I have a 200 amp Miller MIG currently.  What type of stick and TIG machines do your have? You might be able to do every thing with those. My older K-250 is perhaps all stick welded.

I'm in need of a lathe like yours. So clone it for me and ship it out ASAP alright. ;)'

Regards,
Brent Hartwig
