Can I use a Miller PC 300 Pulse DC/AC TIG Control with my XMT 304 cc/cv :?:
Thanks,
Mike

That's a good question!

I'd think it'd take some research to try it...

Are the pinouts the same? Are the control currents the same?

I'd have to dig up the specs of each, and probably spend hours digesting them to try to answer.

In general, Miller and Lincoln have standardized pinouts for connectors, meaning I've successfully used a Miller pedal on a Lincoln TIG, and vice-versa, but those are simple voltage dividers.

Sorry, that was no help...

Thanks Steve,

At this point, I'll no doubt contact Miller and see what their techs have to say.
I abhor planned obsolescence!!!!

I saw a cartoon many years ago, may have even been "Peanuts", where "planned obsolescence" is explained... Things wear out so they have to be replaced.

When the kid gets it, he says "AHA! Thats how God made people!"

YES, it can. The pinouts are the same on both units.

Attached are the manuals for both units.

Steve,

Great remembrance!
I am 10 years into retirement, and hope I don't "wear out" too soon
