Sweet! New toy

Anyone need a steel stand? :D :D :D

How much..! Haha.

Stand for my next build will need to be roughly 6' long x 20 wide x 36" tall :)

Nice acquisition

We've got the same machine at work, youre gonna like it alot, you'll be amazed at what it can do when you figure it out.

i can tig stainless and mild steel, never tried aluminium so thats my new thing to learn, i find the high frequency is like day and night tho when it comes to weld quality

aluminium stand you say....

$$$$

im thinking of doing one for myself with a clear powdercoat on it

*cough cough*

light fixture

*cough cough*

workin on it, trying to make it as sleek as possible while still using those end caps that came with the kit

u got time. im still drying up the place... fml

happens to all of us :mrgreen:

tried tig welding aluminium, seems pretty easy. My welds arnt consistent by any means but id guess that comes with time and not standing up while using a foot pedal...

Yep, get a comfy stool and it'll go alot smoother.
Im sure you know, but make sure you got some good ventilation....
Dont want to be breathing in those fumes.

yup, got a pretty good respirator (used to burn flux core all day) and im gonna set up a ghetto exhaust extraction hood in the future

good:idea:

Pretty much why I quit being a welder.

im not a "welder" really

ive done more welding in the 15 minutes i played around with my new tig welder than i have at work in a month (excluding on site welding)

i mainly fabricate, fix stuff, assemble stuff, fix stuff, do installs (minimal welding), fix stuff, and fix stuff
