Theft replacement: Mig and Plasma

[reklund5]

Well, my garage was broken into last week, and the bastards made off with my Miller 210 and my Hypertherm 600. I'm just beginning to look at replacement units, and was wondering if anyone has input on what I should be looking at.

I'm told the 210 has been replaced by the 212, which is fine, and the plasma cutter is still available. I'm inclined to replace with what I had, since I was happy with them, unless anyone has a good reason for me to look elsewhere.

Post up...

Did you have insurance?? It sucks they did that, what else did they get??

How much will they pay to help out??

If so perhaps time to upgrade, I would go with what you had if you don`t go bigger.

Search chit chat for the Fawk!! My garage was broken into FAWK! thread...it details all of what was lost.

I'm leaning towards the new Miller 212 and another Powermax 600. Antitheft measures are already in place. And so is my .45

Looks like Hypertherm replaced the 600 with the PowerMax45 and increased the capacities slightly. Might mean that you can find some deals on the 600 for places that still have it in stock. My trusty old MM250X and PowerMax1100 serve me well so I doubt you're going wrong with your replacements.
