I have a Miller 130 mig and want to do some frame work on my EB. Stuff like suspension mounts, shackles, radius arm mounts, c wedges on the axle, etc. Will the 130 be enough or do I have to go bigger? Any Miller 130 owners out there?

What is the rating on that welder?

I have a miller 135, basicly the same thing. Rated up to 3/16" single pass with a fairly good duty cycle for the hobbiest. If you need to weld more then 3/16 just bevel the joint well and lay a couple hot passes.

Agreed, im barrowing one from a friend and thus far soo good :) im happy :)

I have a 240v Stick for the big sheat

Would would think it would be find for what you want to do with it...

If you have to ask maybe you should have someone else weld it? Just because you have a welder does not mean you should weld.

Here is pictures of two friends Jeeps. They were both built from scratch with a Miller 130 using Flux Core...

It's a great welder. I've put over 20 10# rolls of flux core through mine and it's worked great. Only tripped a breaker once. It has one hell of a duty cycle. I do 3/8" in two passes easily. Make sure you're on a 20 amp breaker circuit, it makes all the difference in the world. I'm building my 20' car hauler with mine right now, no problems. I've burned a 10# spool alone so far on it.
If you have concerns about getting good penetration, just set the heat on 4 and adjust the wire speed up or down. It'll burn through almost anything on 4. The 135 is the new 130 XP basicly.
