Hi. Greatings from Ontario Canada. Thanks for the course of this item. You are clear and easy to follow. On some videos, people seem to think I need to know the weather, the Dogs name, etc etc. and by the time they get to the message I have moved on.
I used to repair those units, they are very simple and work with most equipment. It basically just relays the current via a contactor and if fitted gas flow via a solenoid. The power source needs provide an open circuit voltage to power the unit and most do or can be made to. CC/CV may also be an issue if the power source can't select these modes.
Yes, still in Tulsa, and yes, the no-gas-flux-core I have calls for positive lead connected to the ground and negative to the gun. I think it depends on the specific wire, but you can ask the welding store to look it up or you can look it up online.
Great review. Nice to see a video that's not from miller on these. There's not too many of them. I have the remote control version and there ain't one single video review on CZcams about it.
Cool. I love ours. Only thing I'm going to add is brass feet that are connected to the ground cable. It's a waste of time to mess with the ground cable when the box is almost always sitting on the steel.
@submarineboat ...took one more delay to build Argonaut Jr. (not everyday you have 5 tons of lead laying around). Now we've sold the subs and are full time on the sailboat. I'll never be a Marine Biologist, but it will be fun to give some of them rides.

We use the digital version at the shipyard. I love it! Smooth, easy to use, and less maintenance problems.

Love the air-hose for gas. Good review. Thank you.
Looks like a sweet package to me, like the quick connects, to boggie out, if weather or some other reason you need to move quick...
Doug! your wife knows more about welding and everything else than I do! LOL! where did find such a Jewel?
@theman4130 Me too. Been dragging it around all week, even for little stuff that I would normally switch to stick to do. :)

@joelalay1 I don't know. I'd guess that the drive motor might pull about 4 to 5 amps.
Thanks for the info!
@eatmycakeshow Thanks -- I hate bashing my Cobramatic, but this Miller X-treme sure beats it hands down for what we are doing.
@261Honda I'll keep that in mind next time I have to go to the hospital. :)
@KEF791 And I can drag it too; but this is Oklahoma, we never have bad weather. Always sunny and warm here. :)
Ok thanks I'm going to be welding grouser bar on my JD 650 dozer. Thanks again.
Very helpful, thanks!!
