    1600 shipped is about 150 cheaper than going rate now, not bad.

    i think when they first released you could get one for 1000.

    Yeah I got in on batch number 2. Ordered mine on November 10th when they were $1295. I got the water table for $149. $99 shipping. Plus tax it came out a little more than $1600. They’re up to $1495 by themselves now

    Time for some real truck projects?

    I paid extra to get a multiprocess machine in the form of a Lincoln 210. It was quite a bit cheaper when I bought it than it is now, though.

    I've only used it for MIG aside from running a handful of stick electrodes. Wouldn't even bother with the TIG kit at this point as it's not worth the cost to only have DC lift arc.

    **Finally** got my lazy butt into the un-heated garage and welding again.

    Almost finished that "Gutter Holder" project I mentioned about 6 months ago. ( Dont mind the weld's, I haven't welded in 6 months, and was welding vertical, and did I mention it was cold? about -10C (14F) )

    I'm really happy with how it's turning out. a few more welds and some paint and its ready to be mounted :thumbsup:

    To weld that right the Cat needs to be dropped or removed that was not.

    Sad and places like that wonder why they never get return business

    I just dip the nozzle every couple mins when I’m welding. Extends the life of my contact tips and they don’t get gunked up nearly as much!

    Myself I like the spray better then if your by yourself it is not bad with the dip.

    Seems so many leave the lid off and the whole shop aims the grinder sparks into the nozzle jell.

    I just use plain old Crysco. Much, much cheaper.

    Regardless, if you do buy the nozzle dip, it will last a lifetime.

    I have been using it. Does seem to help. And it will last forever. It prolongs cleaning the tip forsure.

    Yup, in my welding class we had 10 students running MIG and dual shield M-F 8-4:30 for a semester, barely made a dent in the small tubs that the school bought.
