Hope to learn on this.. layed down some beads on the scrap last night, no gas yet, and it works pretty daggon good imo!

It was $420 with tax locally, the $20 I would have saved wasn't enough to have to wait for shipping if I were to have bought it online..

 

Glad to see you got a welder. Lets see some pics of some work.

 

ooo, i like the mig, looking to get my self one as well, nice buy.

 

I'm intrested in picking something like this up to

 

we need some pics of your welds, nothing like a first timers fluxcore welds

 

was the welding cart included?

 

I haven't welded anything yet functional yet, just testing stuff, and I do fine once i get the feed and amperage right

I did try welding a 3/8" NPT bung on my oil pan, which ended in disaster when I realized it was an iron piece and well, it doesnt work to well with flux core welding apparently, or at all, so I trashed the oil pan..

definitely seems to be a bit inconsistant sometimes.. guess I will be getting gas next
Yup, it did come with the cart, regulator, and mask etc etc..

 

i got the same welder from weldingdepot.com

love mine! i paid 280 for just the welder and regulator. i think my total bill including shipping was like 400 with all the extra supplies

heres a picture of a valve spring compressor i made
