New Power Mig 275s- First use findings.
Power Mig 275S,
Overall look, fit and large handle very nice. Came with rollers for 0.6, 0.8, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.6 wire. There is one more size. 2 sizes per roller. The roller system is made very well and solid. The control panel is straight forward and easy to use. The 275s has a Synergic Mig mode which automatically sets the volts for you depending on what you set the wire speed to. The Synergic Mode works very well. The settings leave a flat weld that penetrates. Now when I used the Syn Mode you have to be ready to move, the 275 lays down the wire and burns it in without hesitation, so you need to have your material ready and your proper positioning ready to roll if you want to make the whole weld without stopping. If you have a tough position to weld in or need to move slower for whatever reason I would place it on manual mode and turn down the volts some. I have not tried aluminum yet so I can't comment on the 275S's aluminum performance. Nor have I tried the stick operations. As you can see the welder does have a E6010 mode. The 275s laid down some very nice beads whether I welded 1/8 wall material or was spot welding sheetmetal. The welder has two cooling fans but is Very quiet which is nice compared to other welders and plasma cutters I have. If you like using spool guns you will have to order the 200 MTS gun. The 200N gun has a female connector as does the 275S. Overall I'm happy with my first impressions of the machine. Pictures coming.
