Default SCORE!

In my search for a decent little mig welder. Some guy contacted me about some metal working tools.
he said he had a set of class "B" tanks that were full with the regulators and hose and a horizontal/vertical metal band saw.

I asked what he wanted for them. he said $250.

I took 2 hrs of vacation and ran up and got them. hell yeah!!!!!

now to figure out where to put them so they aren't seen by the financial adviser

hmm

he had a craftsman 110v mig for $50 with the regulator and I should have bought that too but it wasn't immaculate and it wasnt store inside. He said he would guarantee that it worked but he didnt know what size it was or what it could weld. I should have just bought it for little stuff, but then I would have to buy a bottle for the gas because I am notsure if it welds with flux core.

wire feed with flux is easy...........just hafta remember to keep away from the metal with the tip aprox 3/4" or it will stick and quit feedin wire

wire feed with inert gas as a shield is much better though

good score on the equip man
