Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

The Lake County folks just cannot catch a break.

 

Anyone with welding experience have any thoughts on this unit?? Haven't welded since college, but I did ace all four courses. Would like to get back into it.

 

The Tombstone It's a great machine.

 

My favorite movie of all time, I'm sold. "I'll be your huckleberry".

 

Personally I would just spend a little more and get a MIG. You are going to be extremely limited on an AC only stick welder.

 

He's right. MIG is way easier. But if you can stick weld, you've got the skill to MIG/TIG.

 

If you drink as much as I do, you go jogging in what you're wearing.

Appreciate the feedback, the slag burning through my clothes is not something I miss. I'll probably just be doing iron, I'd like to fuck around and do some side projects. Just something to keep me busy.

 

Never used MIG. Is it versatile on what you can work with metal wise?

 

MIG is extremely versatile. With a change of wire and gas you can go from mild steel to stainless and I have even pushed aluminum through a short liner without a spool gun. I think if you want to play around with making stuff for your truck, MIG is the way you should go.

 

I'll check it out, I do like deals.

 

Thanks! We'll discuss further shortly!

 

Do they come in blue? Lol. I am partial to Miller equipment but that Lincoln deal is damn good.

 

I learned on a Montgomery Wards 110 buzz box. Could only use 1/16 rod to get the beads to look decent and the duty cycle was like 50sec. Lol.

 

Is it me or does it looked rigged..still cool tho

 

None is AC, we don't have that here by the beach. It's all from the pool. $200 for gas to heat it and $300 for electric. Going to shut the heater off and looking to buy a more energy efficient pump to run at nights instead of peak hours.
