* The Miller SuitCase X-TREME 12 VS portable wire feeder provides excellent starts and superior arc performance for all types and sizes of wires whether using a CV or CC power supply. Featuring digital meters with SunVision for easy reading, even in direct sunlight, the SuitCase X-TREME is protected by a tough polypropylene case for added jobsite durability.

* Millers BigBlue AirPak welder/generator/air compressor provides superior multi-process capabilities (Stick, MIG, flux core, TIG, Stud Welding, Air Carbon Arc Gouging and Air Plasma Cutting and Gouging), as well as generator power and compressed air in a rugged package that features Millers Vault technology to protect the circuit board from dust, dirt and moisture for added reliability.

* Miller Spectrum plasma cutters combine unsurpassed reliability with the ability to quickly cut or gouge any electrically conductive metal. The Spectrum 1000 is rated at a 1-inch cutting capacity, while the Spectrum X-TREME 375 provides 3/8-inch cutting capacity in a lightweight, 18-lb. package.

* Millers new Vintage USA Digital Elite auto-darkening helmet features Weld, Cut, Grind and X-modes and retains user preferences for each. The X-mode senses arc starts even when the arc may be obscured. With four arc sensors that provide a 1/20,000-second lens speed and a 30-percent larger viewing field, the Digital Elite series is ideal for any welding professional.
