For quite some time I have been wanting my own welder. The In-laws have an old stick machine on the farm I'd been using for years. I was OK on heavier materials, but when it came to lighter gage metal and sheet metal, it was really tough.
Monday the supplier will deliver a Millermatic 175. It comes with pretty much everything but the shielding gas cylinder, and I ordered some extra stuff for starters. First I'm trying flux core wire. Maybe when I get next month's allowance there will be a cylinder showing up.
There has been a lot of info here, and the guys in the weld shop at work were also helpful in answering questions and making suggestions. Thanks to everyone for the information you posted........................chim
