I have a big miller that I am happy with. Check out KMS. They always have sales on and good deals.

X2 they just had their big welding sale a few weeks ago, but every flyer has some welding stuff in it.
I just picked up a Miller Spectrum 1000 from my old boss, it was hooked up as 3 phase in our old shop, but I just have single phase out here. Awesome cutter, in my opinion, you can't go wrong with the Miller cutters. My .02.

Or welders..

I have a Thermal Dynamics and the welding and autobody shops at school used them too. They seem to work good and are fairly easy to use and not bad price for them either.

If you have a peavy mart in your area go there and buy a Hobart. They are the same as a miller but cheaper. And tips and parts will be easier to get cause they are open later, welding supply places are only open till 430-5.

I wouldn't consider a Hobart in the same quality as miller but they are good

Same thing man! All the whips and mig guns all say miller on them. And I get and my parts though the miller sales man at work and they are miller parts.

Is it just the more expensive stuff or also the cheap stuff? Did miller buy them out?

Just got my KMS flyer in the mail, they have a couple of plasma cutters on sale. I believe I saw some Hobart stuff on the Miller site.

I think it there lower end stuff. More the stuff guys would have in there shops at home. Not your high end tog welders and stuff. But they do have the small bobcat gas powered welders that have Hobart on them to. I think it happened a few years ago. I got a Hobart Handler 210 mig welder and it works real good.

Miller bought out Hobart quite awhile ago, and is considered their "2nd level" stuff. More price conscious, consumer oriented where as the Miller line is more industrial and higher end. Many of the consumables cross over which makes sense for costs.

I have a Hypertherm powermax 1000 and love it, but not a very price conscious alternative unless you do allot of cutting.
