I've been using this for the last 2 years, it's been (and still is) flawless. However, I just bought a much larger one (syncrowave) and don't need 2 of them here. The one for sale is a Miller Maxstar STL 150. Asking $1200 OBO. It's a small but powerful unit for tig or stick welding. It does up to 150 amps output on 220, and it will also run on 110. It's in near perfect condition, no scratches or dings on the case (it's been under a shelf for the last year) so the only signs of use is the cup and some dust/dirt on the hoses & wires where it laid on the floor. It has both fingertip control as well as a foot pedal. I paid $1500 for the welder as a complete setup, then added the foot control for another $300. Comes with everything required to weld except for a bottle of argon. If you want to do stick welding, it will do that too. It's very small (14 lbs) and is portable. I'd prefer to do a local sale only, I'm near St. Louis MO. This is the setting it's been on for over a year and I usually only need 1/2 to 3/4 pedal to do what I need.

Very nice welder. I've got a 140, almost the same. Let me know if you want to just sell the foot pedal??? |

I'd prefer to sell it as a package deal. It has served me well over the last 2 years building exhaust systems, I just needed a welder to do aluminum, so I bought a Miller Syncrowave. I have a machinist local to me that wants to sub out all his weld jobs and I've done work for him in the past. I'm not expecting a lot of work from him, but to do it, I needed bigger equipment. |

For doing stainless, especially light gauge (16-22) the Maxstar did a pretty dang good job. Just found out that all the tungsten that came with the syncro is breaking really easy and the arc wanders all over, even to the cup. I assume it's bad or something's wrong with it. I tried some of my older stuff that I've been using with the little 150 and it was just fine. Both were marked as 2% thoriated, so I don't know why it would wander like it does. |
