Toying with the idea of upgrading from my Miller 175 to a newer machine.
Currently looking at Miller 211 with Auto-Set vs ESAB 215 with Smart mig. From what I understand, with the ESAB you select the wire size and metal thickness and it adjusts power from there. Everything I've heard is that it welds super nice. The Miller has similar setup, but there's less talk of it making real-time adjustments.
Has anybody used both and have some feedback?
There's about $600 price difference (ESAB is more) between the two; but I have not been able to find as much info on the Miller system as the ESAB. I can look at a chart and pick my power tap and wire speed, so if it's just a different know for selecting the welder settings, then I'm less interested than if it can make real time adjustments.
Any thoughts? Anybody used both?
