Basically those machines are really low-end (he said politely). 1.5 KVA is a joke, but having said that, Vonsmog's welds 'appear' to be half decent. Look at the current and voltage info on the Miller site, you can see 1,500 VA ain't much. They are air cooled so you will be patient when using it, right? Weld. Beer. Weld Another Beer. (Not all bad I guess).
I do not believe you have adequate force control, or current control to get consistently good welds. If you want to use this style machine;
- go for the 230 volt model
- use the shortest possible arms
- buy the time control module (it looks to be an option on the Miller)
- do destructive testing to make sure you pull nuggets on your welds
- buy a tip dresser to keep your contact area consistent, (using a file is a bad idea)
-contemplate some mig stitch welds for security
PM me if you need some basic set-up info. I do this for a living....I might be able to help.
