The ice went off one of my favorite lakes on Monday.  Had to divert from the Little Jon (LJ) for few days to tend to spring chores and some work on the Mariner. Still working on LJ and should have more pics early next week. I got the Thermodyne plasma cutter set-up yesterday evening  as it will be needed soon. The Spoolmate 150 works very well. The only negatives are:1. Loading the wire is pain in the arse. (Miller needs to fix this.)2.  The size and weight of a spool gun compared to a MiG gun. The size makes it difficult for tight spots so I’m tempted to load the 211 up with 0.35” aluminum wire and try it for tight spots. The guy at Airgass said it will work if the hose is kept pretty straight. Unfortunately, Miller doesn’t make Teflon liner for this series so it sounds like a crap shoot.  I’m tempted to give it a try but, cleaning up birds nests in the feeder, wire jams in the hose and bad welds with a die grinder are not my idea of fun. The shielding gas is 100% argon.</blockquote>
