How's this compare to Millermatic 130? Anyone know? Do they still make 130?

Similar. Bit more plastic in the 140 (I think the cooling fan on the 130 might not be plastic, but haven't used one in a while). The 140 seems to run a little better, 140 also has ability to run a spool gun that the 130 could not. I'd call it better, and the Millermatic 130 hasn't been made for a few years - if you can pick up a used one cheap go for it, but for a good 110V Mig welder this one is hard to beat. Overall they are very similar, intended for the same use. The 140 w/ Autoset just cranks a little more, and can be easier to use for "first timers". Mine, I recently was welding 6" SCH 40 pipe (capping it with 3/16" plate, for ornamental work) and I was surprised at how well it ran with .030 wire. It's a good machine, and great for the home hobbyist.

Yes, I would suggest the miller helmet over a cheap one. And yes, I own both a miller and a cheap one from HF.

For wire process this is an excellent starter machine, but if you plan on uaing it for a while pay the extra $200 for the Millermatic180.

Yes, it's true the 643 IP is being sold with the Oregon parts. Not sure why this is being done, although I had not heard about the 20" bar. Whatever the case, I'd still recommend the saw. The one I bought is a real beast; it's particularly impressive in its power-to-weight and power-to-engine size ratios: it's a lot of kick in a small, light package. And which doesn't leak bar oil either! Like my Craftsman saws do. Buy it, you'll like it.

Not lose but save in energy bills and cost difference in buying the machine. The Artisan does everything the 575 watts do. The Professional 600 series is just larger in mixing size, 6 quarts vs. 5 quarts. Plus the doughhook is different. It was hard choice for me but in the end, the tilt head was what made the difference for me. I do not think you will go wrong with Artisan, but in the end it is up to you.

I assume you're asking for a comparison, or opinions on the two? My mother has the 1200 so I am very familiar with it. I bought the 2600 because it improves on the 1200 in two areas. One is that it's easier to see the water level as you're pouring. With the 1200, there are notches inside the water reservoir, but it's a very small opening and hard to see into it while pouring. The second one, and most important, is that the 2600 eliminates the 'backwash' effect of opening the lid. On the 1200, water condenses and sticks to the lid. When you then open the lid, water often dribbles down the back of the maker and onto the counter. The 2600 fixed this design so that the water drains back into the reservoir. Other than that, as far as I can tell, the two are relatively equal.

Have never used the 120 . . . Bought the 130 . . . . maybe it was the condition of my knives . . . but it took 30-40 minutes per knife . . . many, many times through the machine. I have a 30+ year old set (7) of J. A. Henkel knives. Good shape now.

Call Miller and ask. They were extremely nice when a part broke on mine. Metal waterers rust and plastic ones get green slime. Pick your hassle....

Actually, you should read ALL of the posts about ALL the problems with thisturntable -- but don't get scared off by them; it's a good-enough product.I bought an AT-PL120 for two main reasons: 1 - I wanted a combination of direct drive, 78 RPM, and a wide-range pitch control.2 - I couldn't afford to spend much money.

I have had an MV650 for about 3 years now and have often pondered the differences to the MV500. I have come to the conclusion, after looking at various photos of both, that the only difference is more flaming of the maple on the back of the MV650, and perhaps a better overall finished result. I believe it is common for violin manufacturers to take a group of completed violins that are made from the same specifications, and the ones that come out the best are labeled as a better model with a higher price.

I chose milwaukee. Ended up buying the 2797-22 kit for $150 brand new. I chose milwaukee because of the better construction and it's LOw price. I also planned on buying the m12 fuel hackzall, which I did and got for 100. The dual charge battery charger comes in handy with both m12 and m18.

I own an artisan 810. It works great for us, we have had for over two years (we think).

Well none of this is Miller, etc., but it's quite impressive for the price. I'm not sure if you mean the internal wire drives or the spool gun internals, so I'll answer both this way --about thirty (or more) spools of Al through the spool gun with no issue, and maybe 80, 10 pound rolls through the welder drives without problem. One thing is I switched to the larger spools (only possible with the welder, not the spool gun) and by so doing I have adjusted the tension spring once, because the larger rolls will go on/off the adapter without removing it, so you aren't messing with the tension system as you do with the small rolls --besides being a lot less expensive and lasting way longer (time between spool changes). Hope that helped.

I use the adapter kit with the Lincoln 1134 pistol grip grease gun. I can apply quite a bit of pressure but probably not 7000 psi. I also have a pneumatic and heavy duty (12" handle) which will put out 8000 psi and 7000 psi respectively ... but haven't tried the adapter kit with those. I do know that with the hand operated gun I can't get enough pressure to lube the universal joints on my diesel motorhome. If Lincoln doesn't specifically say 7000 psi, then my guess is that there will be problems at that pressure with the adapter kit. The market for the kit is mostly for ATVs, motorcycles, and some cars. John Deere has grease guns rated at 10,000 psi and also has an adapter kit for that gun.

2600 definitely has a 14 cups vs 12 for the 260 and has the Extreme brew which does brew the coffee faster than my old Mr. Coffee did. Would have bought the 2600 myself but it was not stocked where i bought it (plus i had a $50 gift card to boot so i put it to good use). Don't think you can go wrong with either one.

The CC(Chef's Choice)130 is essentially the SAME as the 320 EXCEPT it has an ADDITIONAL "Polishing" stage (Whatever that means). I have been using my 320 for over 3 years now and it works GREAT - sharpens ALL my knives - straight edged AND serrated edge ... and it was about $40 less.,

I would recommend looking on Miller's website, I have bought 2 units from this company and everything is how it is supposed to be. Shipped attached to a pallet. Great seller.
