Replacement Plasma Torches for Older Miller Spectrum Plasma Systems with Obsolete ICE 27c, 40c, 55c, 70c, & 100.
From the early 1980s through the late 1999's, Miller manufactured a line of very reliable plasma cutting
power supplies. The later machines had Hypertherm torches, excellent plasma torches.
The Hypertherm consumables were not interchangeable and a bit more expensive, but they worked very well. In the early 2000's, the Miller family sold the company to Illinois Tool Works.
Editorial Opinion
I used to see Miller as the leader in welding technology. They made only welding power supplies and associated equipment. They won or lost on the designs of their machines. They did not have another cash cow business, such as filler metals or shielding gas. They concentrated on machines. Today it is different. Miller is a small cog in a huge machine.
As an obsover lookin from the outside. I cannot see the interworkings; I can only see the effects on everyday life. They seemed to be distancing themselves from the distributor and end user.
Example: You purchase a repair part from Miller to repair your machine; there is no warranty on that part. Now, if you buy that part from an authorized, certified Miller distributor and pay for the labor to install said part. Miller will extend the warranty from 0 to 90 days. From what I understand, Miller will warranty the second repair, but the customer must pay for the labor.
Somehow, this does not instill confidence in the company.
