Prime Weld MIG285 and Cut60 update

[@RogerChandler-vl5de]

I have both the MIG 285 and the Cut 60 plasma machines and I really like them both. Thanks for showing the alternative torch unit.

[@dankrzeminski6370]

I own the 325x and mig 285. I let my boss use them at work and he fell in love with them. He bought 3 325x machines for the mobile techs.

every time I see a new derb video come up it's like running into a friend in town. 💪 the 325 is a sweet machine I love mine. the water cooler sends it over the edge 1400.out the door with the long water cooled torch and cooler you can't beat it

I don't have a lot of knowledge about plasma consumables, but a shop I worked at bought an really good Italian made plasma of some sort, then replaced the torch with one that uses hypertherm consumables. Then they found cheap consumables on amazon that are just as good as the hypertherm ones, but they had the spring on them. They just simply pulled the spring off of the consumable, and they work in their non spring consumable torch. Not sure if this comment has any value but I thought it was worth mentioning.

dualshield is the BOMB! great video Daniel,nice to see you're making bank and staying busy

[@Christopherbever]

Prime is prime! Also stoked on a new video cuz I know it’s going to be the realist info

[@BCole-bj4lv]

Nice to see you out there. Thanks for the video. I looked hard at that machine plus one from Eastwood and Everlast. I ended up with the Everlast Cyclone 262. It has similar capabilities and the customer service has been great. I'm glad to hear your opinion on your machines. I may consider that plasma unit or even stick machine.

[@BullseyeMetalWerks]

Have had both for over a year and half and love them! Mostly hardwire and some stick but have done some tig also with great results. That plasmadyn torch is my next shop purchase 100% 🤘🏾

[@petermccuskey1832]

We are a prime weld shop. Have been welding for over 50 years and Prime Weld beats Lincoln and Miller for customer service. I own them all and Prime W eld is the best at keeping a shop running without BS ,

[@schellycraft4290]

Indeed, customer service is excelent, I have a tig machine from them in Europe, the foot pedal stopped working, and they still helped me

My boy Derb with another 1 🎉👏

[@Asomesauc]

Fantastic video brother 👏

[@nebbia1521]

Great video, ive been looking to get a plasma cutter,

[@SFS13-01]

You’re absolutely correct about Dual-Shield over stick for efficiency. Simply can NOT beat Dual-Shield! I use it pretty much on everything 3/16” thickness and above. It makes stick feel prehistoric!

[@johnversluis3084]

I have 160 stick and its good has a thought time on HF power gen the arc go's out dirty power sign wave doesn't like it but other then that good machines

[@BrandonLund]

Nice work brother. How are you liking that Optrel PAPR? I've been looking for a nice lightweight setup.

[@colincfour-zp9ul]

can you do a video of the trailer crane you got that i have seen in past videos

[@mcfwelding]

Have you run the mig machine off of the 220V power from your engine drive welder at all? im looking to get one for mobile work. i cant justify a suitcase just yet and i can still use the mig285 in the home shop too

[@derbadortheweldor8940]

I saw this one at FabTech mm-source.com/suitcase-wire-feeder-mig-gun-and-consumables.html it might be a good budget feeder.

[@paulg5900]

What diameter dual shield wire were you running and about how thick of steel?

[@Blakedaanimal]

which would you buy if you were starting out? cut 60 w/ the upgraded torch or your 45xp?

[@Whenthehooddrops]

I've ran my amico 160 off 300ft of 120v cord 12ga

[@slowb4lls1]

I was like why’s he dang chipping slag off that mig welder but then I seen the weld and noticed it’s prolly flux core. I try not to run flux core in my nicer mig machine, I just run another baby flux core only machine so I don’t gotta swap my stuff over all the time. I run the arc captain machines mostly and been lucky so far. But your right the comsumables are trash on these cheaper machines

[@pl747]

What brand wire are you using?

[@davidlutz6875]

At 6:17 it shows a roll of Washington Alloy.
