Does Miller offer financing or do the local weld shop/stores offer this? Thinking about getting a welder/Gen but don't want to put out 3K all at once, need to keep some $$ too buy steel.

Or you can "rat hole" alot of your money into your taxes (claim 0 on your exemptions and an extra $10/day ) and get a Syncrowave 200 and All the things you need to grind , cut , clean etc... and some steel and aluminum and stainless !!!!!!!!!

Well guys, none of the above. I'm just a poor dumb part time farmer that needs a welder, would like to start new and have it last 30-yrs. Can't really start a business with it (too many other welders in the area not making a living). I'm needing to build a power screen for gravel and loam, I have most everything that I need for materials except some sheet stock. Also will need it for many other projects as time goes on. The way I look at it, I could hire it out @ $40-50 an hr. or take that $$, buy a welder, learn how to weld and do my own welding for the rest of my life.

To get back to the original question............most big national welding suppliers offer financing; from Airgas to MaineOxy/SpecAir in your area. Terms and such sometimes really good; sometimes you'll do better on a personal loan at your bank or credit union. Lincoln offers a really good program with Lincoln Electric Capital............not sure if Miller has a similar program or not.

Airgas/Miller will lease to own to businesses only. It's a fairly good deal if you qualify and can afford the 12+1 plan. Divide the full cost by 12 and that's your payment each month - make one extra payment at the end of 12 months, and you own it. That was the deal a couple years ago when I looked into it. I ended up getting a personal 3yr loan (lower payments). If you lease from Miller for a longer than 1 yr, than it's not such a good deal anymore - bank loans are cheaper long term.
