If I may make a suggestion, that is to get or make a cover for your welder. I have kept one on my units (Miller XMT304s) for 10+ years and they are still pretty new and clean looking.
I also have a XMT300 that is about 15 years old, it has not been covered, and it looks like it is 30 years old and been rode hard and put up wet as they say.
The grinding dust is the worst. Since I am rarely doing grinding while simultaneously welding, it is no big deal to slip the cover on and then grind away.

One more thing .. All of us work hard for a living ... Every penny counts.. When this hoss of a little machine went down I was horrified .. It's just my "go to welder" .. Yes it's a dang good price but ... I says to myself "dad gum it" I just can't come off the cash right now ... Then for Longevity to do what they are doing ... Well it's just simply "they are the working mans choice"
If your thinking about one ... Well I don't work for them, get paid by them ... I will however recommend them to everyone !!!

I have to say, my Hypertherm makes me smile every time I use it. Plus a year later it is still on its first set of consumables.

FedEx ... They picked up my old one yesterday and apparently the driver failed to scan to reflect in transit to Longevity ... Longevity won't ship the new one until tracking shows in transit ... So .. Just another delay in the arrival of the replacement welder ... How come when it's down I need it more? Been a handful of welding to do...I've grown so accustom to it that I find myself reluctant to fire up the Miller Bobcat!!!
