The Millermatic 355 is Miller’s Next Generation MIG Welder<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Miller designed the Millermatic 355 MIG welder with some additional power capabilities over the highly regarded Millermatic 255. Is the premium price worth the additional material, voltage, and current options?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Millermatic 355 MIG Welder – The Big Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Miller designed the Millermatic 355 MIG Welder for fabricators and manufacturers who want to focus on MIG and pulsed MIG welding for a variety of materials. In fact, similar to other Millermatic machines, this model doesn’t support stick or TIG welding (look to the Multimatic models for that). Instead, it focuses on MIG and pulsed MIG welding for mild and stainless steel as thin as 22-gauge. It also tackles aluminum as thin as 18-gauge\u2014and can do up to 1\/2-inch in both aluminum and<\/em> steel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The advantages of using pulsed MIG<\/a> over standard MIG welding include the possibility of getting better results on metals like stainless steel due to reduced heat input. It also causes less distortion and burn-through on thinner metals and reduced spatter on all materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller lets you operate the Millermatic 355 MIG Welder using either single-phase or three-phase AC power. This obviously gives you some flexibility when you need to use it in different locations. Additionally, it has an amperage output ranging from 25A to 400A. The 60% duty cycle is listed as 29.5V at 310A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
