[TheForge] Miller Welder

I just bought a new Miller 185, (won't pick it up until I finish the
drywall), the speed/heat range guide list settings for stainless up to
3/8".  The heaviest stainless I plan on using is 1/8", so that should
do me.  Miller has replaced this with it's new  210 model. This one
was used for 10 minutes, I paid $1180 for it,  how'd I do?

   I'm gonna buy an extra torch for it and have the gas for stainless
sitting on the side, will take longer to change over than buying a
spool gun, but I'm not doing production welding.

   Anyone have any experience with the Lincoln auto helmet that goes
for around $140 and operates on photo cells?   I know a better helmet
is worth it's price, but again, I'm not doing any production welding,
just fabrication and repair of my manufacturing equipment.

   Any and all comments and advice always welcome!
