Hi,
I picked up a SP 175-Plus last fall and have been using it quite a lot for various projects. What a nice machine. Little previous experience welding, but with a little practice I have been doing (no modesty here) a very nice job; clean radius welds. The only problem I have been having is seeing where the actual joint is.
I really like welding with gas. No slag, no chipping... just brush and voila, clean pretty metal.
BTW, I bought an auto-dimming (my word) welding helmet. So much nicer than doing the touch-headjerk-trigger dance. Can't imagine doing all the work I've done with one of the old dark-glass helmets. Highly recommended.
Later... |
