vantage 300 help

[cwgronemeier]

hey guys, I have recently purchased lincoln vantage 300. I love the machine but I have run into a few problems with the complicated settings. such as dialing in my heats for 7018 and 8010s. It has settings for downhill and standard. It has tig capabilities as well. anyone who is running one of these units, plese provide some general info. tips would be greatly appreciated

not to rain on your parade but that machine is junk the vantage 400 is way better the 300 has lots of problems i used to work at a welding supplier store and we got nothing but bad reviews for that machine sorry

That machine's been out a few years now, one would think Lincoln has updated and re-engineered any problems they were having initially ...

Ask over at MillerMotorsports. JHall has one, and I believe is very happy with his.

I have a vantage 300 and i like it ... never had it off of downhill pipe though...
I know it has more features but that is all i need it for...

Could just run it like an SA-200 and forget about the bells and whistles.
