Making The Switch To Miller Pipe Pro

One of the most frequently asked questions I get... how do you like the miller pipe pro and is it worth the purchase. I am about to give you my PERSONAL OPINION!! Miller Welding has in my opinion gone above and beyond the call of service. There machines are incredibley reliable and function beautifully. One of my favorite things about them is the consistency of early in the morning to end of the day. The machine works for you. Now some of the other features I like is the fuel economy and size of the machine. For about 25.00 you can burn rod for upwards of 2.5-3 days for 10 hrs a day. That equals money SAVED and money kept in your pocket. Customer service seems to be another big one on why guys and girls are switching over. These machines have quite a bit of computer stuff in them which shouldn’t frighten you away from them. Miller has put your mind at ease with there incredible customer service. Most of the time when a machine breaks down miller has demos all over the country where they can usually put a machine on your truck so you don’t miss any days down time is money lost!! They have completely taken care of the hard working people that rely on Miller’s name to make a living go check out Miller Welding.

My father used Miller welding machine for 40 years. Cheers from Sicily

[@robertoobregon3750]

When starting this career,the SA200 is a lot less money. The newer machines offer the axillary power and the weld quality. With the newer machines you can grind, run lights and weld at the same time. Starting out where do you get the money for a machine without going into debt. Best part of this video is you spending time with your son, wife and brother. Happy Holidays and Be Blessed.

[@greggschultz5768]

My 73 200 has been my machine my whole career. It's got a million hrs on it (with rebuilds and general repairs). I've tried the Miller's and with time practicing I could certainly use one. I've also played with all the new Lincoln's, and they are fantastic also. For me nearing the end of my career I just have to spend it with the machine that's been there for me through it all.

[@JacobSchofield]

Oh I completely agree!!! I love a 200 nothing like a classic

[@mdsalern]

1973-2020. 47 years. 8760 hours per year. 411,720 hours.

[@mikecubes1642]

thats an aluminum machine. did you ever try an older SA-200 with copper windings? i have a few of them and do notice the difference but each generator his its own personality. nothing like being loyal.

[@railmaker]

Been welding heavy wall pipe and industrial pipe welding for 45 years. Just retired and have a hobby metal business now. I have had a 1963 SA200 for 40 years. It has been and still is a fantastic machine! With that being said, I own and have a 2008 Miller 350 ac/dc TIG runner and a millermatic 250 mig and a 110 Miller 110v mig. All of those machines have been awesome! At this stage in life, unless something becomes to cost prohibitive to repair, I won’t be purchasing new. Whatever suits the operator, is what they should get. Have a merry Christmas, all.

[@Mcss-lu5hv]

mdsalern yep, been running that machine 58 hrs a day for 47 yrs.

[@noeldickerson2798]

Jake to start with love your post they are truly awesome. I have been welding for 30 years. Started out on pipe, then sheetmetal,then building equipment and now I own a Millwright service. We own all Miller welding machines!! They have never let us down the customer service is great and they stand by there product. If I have to carry one to the shop it’s covered under warranty and cost us nothing. If your ever around McDonough Ga stop by the shop and I will take you to lunch. God Country Family!!!!

thank you sir. its my favorite time as well. and rewatching these videos has been fun just for that reason.

[@erikcourtney1834]

Ive got the 400 and I love all 950lbs of it. I even try to to persuade the die hard Lincoln guys. Expecially when I’m welding and there fiddling with the brushes, rack, or the throttle adjustments. I Use to have the 302d trailblazer. Loved it but very very loud machine. Wireless remote is the best money I’ve spent on it.

I'm not a welder, I'm a rancher that does some welding. I bought a 250 bobcat back in 2014 and i couldn't be happier with it. miller does build good stuff even if it is on their low end side. i got a kick out of you playing with your little guy. i was doing the same thing with my youngest boy tonight. he'll be 2 in February. cherish your time with him because they grow up too fast, my oldest son will be 9 pretty soon and boy it went by quick.

[@eharris6347]

That trail blazer 325 diesel is a smooth machine, my job rented one , ran tig all day long on 180-220 , that thing just sips fuel , I'd like to have one myself,

[@haulingfireman1004]

I bought a 97 225NT with 98 hours on it last fall. I had run a Miller AED-200LE (1975) on my service truck prior to that. In the beginning I hated the way the bobcat welded compared to the older Miller, but after spending a few hours learning I’m happy with it. I also have an 73’ blackface re-wound in copper but For the field repair stuff I do (and the price I paid) I can’t beat that Bobcat.

[@ShadeAkeley]

Adding on the Miller customer service : I bought a PAPR Miller auto-darkening welding helmet new on a pro shop on ebay in the USA, but got it delivered in Canada. Unfortunately, the lens was defective, it would drain the battery even when switched off. Got a bit worried that I wouldn't get covered as it was bought in the US and that it would be a nightmare to send it back to the seller. So I tried and went to a local Miller reseller. I was pleased to learn that Miller covers their products internationally without any hassle. 3 days after that I had a brand new replacement lens in exchange of my defective one, free of ANY charge. Now that dealer is my go to place and I will always prioritize Miller products, at least when it makes sense financially. International coverage of your products is a huge plus.

Jacob Schofield so I had about, 30 minutes of run time on it before I went and took a test in North Dakota, I had to secure it to my truck with some brackets, never ran a beed or anything before going to test, showed up ran a couple stringers, passed the test😂😂😂 it’s like night and day compared to the old Lincoln’s I was used to, but in a good way really consistent hardly messed with the heat, it helped because a didn’t have a helper.

I still run my 350d Miller Trail Blazer on my Rig truck..... generation machine prior to the pipe pro series machines .... still love it ..... have ran a 350d pipe pro and 400 ...... in all honesty idiot proof ...... smooth arc, crisp, fuel efficient big generator for power and much quieter than a Lincoln. Ontop of that these Millers are Multi process... Lincoln’s Cross Country..... un-comparable ......

[@oldlincolnpipewelder]

I’ve always been a fan of what’s tried and true. I’m partial to Lincons yes, but I’ve always wanted to let the bugs get worked out of new technology before I invest my money into almost anything. I wouldn’t mind welding with a PP400 If it was owned by someone else however. “They’re all good when they’re running good” The main beef however I think everyone can unanimously agree on today’s SAE 300s is their desperate need a 10kw+ generator.. and of course Lincoln’s.. how you say.. “Hit or miss“ costumer service.. Love the vids man✌🏼🇺🇸

[@JacobSchofield]

[@appalachianchopshop1420]

Some things I've been considering that I didn't see mentioned that is swinging me to the miller over my sa's are wanting to run a field cnc plasma pipe cutter. I like the weight, aux a/c power to run power in the rv if need be, tools ect, a 400pp with an airpak would be awesome, hot tunes, ect would and will be cool as well. Our trucks can only carry so much weight and real estate is at a premium.

[@HondoTrailside]

So here is the flip side for the amateur who sees this stuff and thinks "well if it is good enough for a pro, it is good enough for me". The same support ethic that works for day in day out welders does not work for me. And obviously I don't weld pipe. So I bought a Miller tig and was thinking of upgrading to a Dynasty for my aircraft work. I don't want my wings falling off, so I want a good machine, easy to use lots of processes. But the hours will be really low. Several years when I am past the warranty, I will have less time on it than a pro in a few weeks. The economics of the high cost high service don't work out for me. If I buy at 25 I want the same machine to last me till I am 65 or beyond, and there won't be one 1000 dollar earning day in there. So Miller giving me a loaner won't help me keep up. Very sage advice for a pro though. I know guys whose boards fried and they got stiffed by Miller. My experience with my Maxstar was all good. But every time I visited my dealer I literally saw Maxstars that were sitting on the desk waiting to be carried back into service. That could be my Maxstart, but mine will last till I am past the warranty. So I am not paying extra for a warranty. But basically with all the low cost chinese machines ,or being easily able to tap into second hand through Craigslist, etc... The Millers have to compete on service. That is basically irrelevant to me. What I need is either a mechanical machine that can be fixed by me as a guy with basic skills, or I have to risk it and buy one of the better chinese machines to get the computer processes I need at 1/3rd the cost, knowing that if they break down I can still get service by writing a bad review and then they contact me. That actually did happen to me they shipped me an updated machine.

[@alaskanken2132]

[@HondoTrailside]

You would think that rather than make guys go through a process of getting used to the machine, you would think that Miller ought to be able to read the output of say some guy's old SA200 and give them a setting that matches that perfectly. Then they would at least have a home base to work out from while they get used to the super settings computer machines can be come up with.

[@user-mt9tn1ni4g]

Timestamp 2 minutes and 48 seconds... You got to know history!!! Back in the day the Lincoln's had a CV option standard!!! Lincoln called it variable voltage.. or constant voltage.. the big Millers.. came standard with constant current.. if you wanted a constant voltage at the machine you had to pay extra.. it was quite a bit and there was a wait time.. and those circuit boards failed over and over and over and over again... Nevermind I've been world and in-between with Lincoln at first but yeah now definitely Miller...

[@mikecubes1642]

good video, i wonder why miller never came out with their own real generator. they bought out hobart and they used to make real DC generators that welded like the shield arcs. miller could have grabbed a bigger share of the pipeliner market instead of going with even more electronics and complexity. lincoln is imitating miller with their cross country machine, have you tried one of those yet? my old 1959 long hood SA-200 still welds better than my inverter in the shop and the 59 is much simpler and you cant tune an inverter the same way i am lincoln all the way because they financed my first welder and got me started in business so i am a little biased. also i have never had any problems with my lincoln machines i bought new.

Ran Lincoln's (short hood 50's model and a couple 60's models) from the late 80's until 2005 when I switched over and bought the pipepro 304 w/stainless package and the 100' miller remote for $14,500 when it was first available down here in south Louisiana back then. Welded mainly on 36" and 42" 1.218 wall thickness pipe using 5.0 and 3/16 8010G 70+ and never had a problem. Changed the oil and filter every 200 hours and the fuel filters every other oil change. Every job I ever got on that lasted more than two months and the welding was blowing and going nonstop 6 days a week, very seldom would the job come to an end with many if not all the Lincolns having had some kind of problem throughout the duration of the job. 14 years later I still have the 304 and not once in all those years has it ever been to the shop other than for maintenance. They only made the 304 for two years and then discontinued it for reasons that are unknown to me to this day.

I would like to work there

[@chrisingram9798]

It’s a DC arc, you only have two parameters to work with. Volts and amps. Miller can scam you all they want but their is nothing to program other than how your watts are made up. 6010 = higher voltage to make up for the increased arc length, 7018 = less volts required because of the short arc. Lincoln uses a rectifier type where a generator is direct coupled to the engine giving you the smoothest arc you’ll ever get. Miller just threw their XMT machine guts inside the pipe pro frame which takes the lower generated current and runs it through a bunch of electronics screwing up the smooth arc in the process while adding a bunch of circuit boards, cooling fans and wiring to go wrong. Of course they’re replacing machines, they are taking them back to see where they screwed up.

[@HG-su4wn]

I'm doing the first oil change on my new pipepro 400 this week, I'm not a pipeliner yet so I don't know much about the performance using 6010 and 8010 but I love how it welds 7018 and tig. love your videos bro, share your settings so I can try them with 6010.

[@henrybenson1348]

Hulk Gomez If you develop the ability that machine has the capability of running any mild steel ( 6010, 7010, 8010) downhill cap on a buttweld pipe joint so slick you will be tempted to tack the cap on just to make sure it doesn't slip off😲😜🤣

I have welded with miller pipe pro 400 in shop for 6 years They do good job... But i hate all the computer crap the computer board crap. Lincoln classic 300 D to me is way better

[@JacobSchofield]

oh man those classic 300 D are nice for sure. I bought my father in laws from him for a few years then he bought it back.

[@anthonygonzales6525]

I love my pipe pro but it does have to be said that the wireless remote price does seem to be a little bit ridiculous.

[@JacobSchofield]

its not cheap no doubt.

[@georgewishon8936]

Totally agree with you, I have so much better customer service at the Miller dealerships compared to the Lincoln dealerships

[@HondoTrailside]

Seem like he is walking early. Good for him!

[@JacobSchofield]

he starting to figure it out. we are enjoying watching him learn how to walk.

[@billymorrow43]

You can change how it welds with a usb however u want sure... but Miller discontinuing parts for there machines , hell u can’t even get parts for the 304s I hear miller tells them people needing parts, that they need to upgrade. But yet you can get parts for the Lincoln’s from the 50s

[@NoName-jj4yi]

Who is that other dude staying with you, helper or family member? Cool little recliner I could’ve used one of those

[@Hickory_Ridge_Taxidermy]

The Pipe Pro is $16-17k. Woo wee!!!!!! That’s gonna be a hit...

[@JacobSchofield]

they do cost a little money no doubt.

[@cabbyhubby]

Welding machine $17,000, truck $50,0000, other tools $20,000, total $90,000, Income $100,000 per year, seems pretty cheap to me, no building, cheap property tax, minimal overhead, no advertising, minimal accounting, sounds like a great business plan!

[@mikecubes1642]

its not that much if you work on the pipeline because its the thing that makes the money

[@JohnSmith-lv8xk]

Just do what Bob Moffit does, try it at +10 and try it at -10 and see what you like the most.

[@eharris6347]

Lol ole bob is an outlaw !

[@JacobSchofield]

ole uncle Bob i freaking love that guy!! one of the best

[@dalekinnin8280]

Did you ever get your 400 jake? Interested in seeing the learning experience with ya. I’m trying to break out getting my truck fixed now. I’m running a 78 sa-200 with a Perkins swap and it is sweet, I like your approach on the millers though. This Lincoln Miller debate is one we always want to see and learn about as welders!

[@oldenfarten5350]

Kido is gettin' so big.

[@Prariegrass]

Forget about the Miller. That kid took his first steps

[@JacobSchofield]

Hahahahaha 😂 I like your style.

[@joselozano3001]

you’re a great person !

[@joefalmo5528]

You need to mention the customer service is from your Miller dealer not Miller it sounds to me like your dealer is the one who is going the extra step to keep you guys happy I’ve had to Miller machines first one was about 35 years ago whatever makes the arc generate kept going bad the second one didn’t make 100 hours electronic governor went bad and I wouldn’t run a feeder correctly - never again!

[@JacobSchofield]

That’s true!! Thank you sir I should of done that.

[@user-mt9tn1ni4g]

We're going to tweak it the way we want to run... Check the warranty specifications because.. we've had brand new Miller's and you change the oil yourself you were voiding the manufacturer's warranty!!!

[@wendellapache8218]

Bought a used Miller 200le. What advice would you give for a beginner, as far as settings on 6010 and 7018. Awesome videos. Thanks..
