Title: What monstrosity of a welder do I have?
Post by: ironcrx on May 28, 2015, 02:15:37 PM
So I am now living in Iceland.  Total change in my life.  I'll update you nogs on that shit later.

In my dads warehouse behind his house I came across an old dusty ass stick arc welder.  According to the old man it still works and was used last summer by some handyman.

My experience with welding: about a dozen or so hours or fluxcore.  Thats it.  Self learned and protipped by you guys.  This is obviously a completely different beast but it's free, mine now, and might as well work with what I got.  All my tools (all of them) are still in Florida till I can figure out freighting that shit over.

School me on what to expect and where to begin.

Note: Im in a town of ~1300 but thankfully theres a sweet hardware store stocked with plenty of welding supplies.

Thanks in advance.  Assuming it works I'm excited to make use of it.  If it doesn't I'll make it a task to fix it.  :noel:
