What can you rig welders tell me about how many of yall use Millers on welding pipe lines or does everyone use Lincolns. I am trying to decide if I want to sell my Miller equipment to get a Lincoln welder or if I can use my miller.

Most will let you use your choice as long as its water cooled.
Forgot about the deutz, a lot of guys run those in miller and lincoln.

I have always heard they would not let you on the job with an air-cooled rig (I have one).Is it just because they won't hold up to the workload?

Ringo, that has been discussed here a bunch of times, and if I recall, when these guys say "air cooled" they are talking about the 16-23HP 3600RPM air cooled gas engines, and specificlly about the Bobcat,smaller Trailblazer, Weld N Power/Ranger & Titan/Champion machines that use them.

I guess it depends on the job.

What amps do you run your root pass with 5p and how much do you push it up for your hot pass and after you run your root and hot passes what amps do you run your cap passes. And do you move the rod like a 7018. I don't want to seem dump I have not done much pipe welding. And I run very little 5p and 7010 rod. I do structure steel mostly and burn alot of 7018.
