 Miller Electric Mfg. Co. added the Millermatic Auto-Set feature to its 180-amp category machine. If you're unfamiliar with the Auto-Set feature, the company says here's how it works. Auto-Set is designed to work on mild steel using C25 gas (75 percent Argon, 25 percent CO2.) Knowing this, set-up can't be any simpler, says the company: 1. Select the wire diameter (either .023-inch or .030-inch); 2. Set the machine to the material thickness being welded (Miller even provides a free material-thickness gauge to check it with); and 3. Start welding. The machine is automatically set to the proper voltage and wire-feed speed for the job, says the company. In the instances where Auto-Set can't be used, the manual mode still exists. In manual mode, the Millermatic 180 Auto-Set is set-up like any other MIG machine. The user sets the voltage and wire-feed speed according to the provided parameter chart. An accessory for the Millermatic 180 with Auto-Set is Miller's new Spoolmate 100 series spool gun. According to the company, hooked up to a Millermatic 180 with Auto-Set, the Spoolmate 100 series can weld from 18 gauge through 1/4-inch aluminum.
