Default My New/First Welder..

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..

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..
