Just got the new MM252 - selling the MM210 now

[helocat]

Just set up our new MM252!



Just set up our new MM252. I looked on the Miller fourm before picking it up and did not find much on it other than one post that had a bit of info on it:

http://www.millermotorsports.com/mbo...&highlight=252

A few people where concerned about the price, I picked it up from my LWS for $1850 out the door. (They quoted higher but I reminded them of the Ellis 1800 and feed tables we bought just 5 weeks ago) Regardless its priced right in there with the MM251. We also have a MM251 we bought for about the same last Nov.

Do I Like it? So far YES!

First off #1 feature over our MM251 is the slector dials for the speed and volts have soft clicks or gradations. This makes it so you can actually set the volts dead on to what you want vrs. w/ the MM251 getting it close or “hunting” to get it to land right on 19.0v and so on. (Trying to set the MM251 to an exact setting is like trying to stop the gas pump on an even $ amount) No problem with the MM252.

The funky handle it actually a bit easer to grab to move it around. The lower tank mount is OUTSTANDING! The feed system is cool, they put a spring on the top drive so when you unlock the rollers it springs open, nice touch.



They molded holders for an extra set of drive rollers inside as well. The front tray for consumables is kind of clunky to use, but good to have non the less.

I like the extra 3’ on the welder lead, good for the kind of work we do. Of course it came with the standard “eh so so” ground lead and china type clamp. (This never got installed, it will go with the used MM210 this unit is replacing)

So far with limited use we like it a lot. Since it did not cost more, I like the improvements. Time will tell if its everything the MM251 sitting next to it is.

your link doesnt work
Just want to say congrads on the new machine.

Now I and probably all the others want to know is, how does it weld? Does it weld better that the 251. How is the arc and arc feel? Now get to using it and post some pics.

The MM210 does not even look hardly used. Excellent price for the welder and spool gun.

Thanks for the write up Helocat.

Based on the knobs used, and the front face, this is an early production MM 210- more than a couple years old. A new MM 210 sells for around $1400. $1200 seems a little steep to me for a unit that is more than likely three plus years old.

This does add to the value a little bit ---------->

New Smith gage, New miller gas hose, New miller ground lead and clamp.

I too think $1200. is a bit high with no warranty on this age of machine but one has to start somewhere with a price.

I'm sure there is a middle ground price for this to be bought at for any / all serious buyers.

If this were in June after a I get my new job/salary, I'd be all over this, but I'd definately offer a lower cash offer if I was ready to buy. Good luck selling, if you still have it later this summer I'll offer you some cash for it. I'm in 48072 not sure where your located....

The MM210 complete set up sold to the first guy to come look at it, one day on the market. (Yes full price, it was a real nice set up)

Now the MM252! It’s just a few days in and she is being favored a bit over the MM251 mainly for the graduations in the dials! Its quicker to nail the settings you want, I like it. No way will I sell off the MM251 just for this, its still a supper nice machine.

Don’t think we will bring in another spool gun. I have demoed the Python push pull and really like that set up. (SEMA this year Miller had a MM350P set up with one in their booth to use, nice!) Quite honestly we just don’t do enough Alum. To justify it. Besides I am always looking for an excuse to pull the cover off the 200DX for some TIG time.

Back at it.

Glad to hear you got your price for your machine and you're happy with the new one.

Remember, you never need an excuse for TIG time. Just do it!
