In for one, can't wait to start learning.

Mark, I got order confirmation and tracking number.

Got one too interested to see how it compares to all the other machines I'm used to running.

I think someone asked about my Grizzly metalworking bandsaw. It is a 5x6 swivelhead.

Let me see if I have any photo's of it. I added the folding handle to move it around easier

For all you members buying new inverter welders. There is a member on the Miller forum who owns a welder repair shop in Alberta Canada. He firmly believes when you get your new welder, plug it in, turn it on, and let it idle for at least 2-hours before welding with it. I have done this with every inverter welder I have bought. To date not one problem with any of them.
Just thought I would pass this on to you.

Any idea on the thoughts behind this? We just bought a new Power Wave S350 at work and the Lincoln rep didn't mention anything like that at all and I know for a fact we didn't do any such with any of the 5 Maxstars we have in use right now.

Just a way to fully charge up the caps before putting a load on them, I'd imagine.

My Invision was used when I got it, so I have no idea what the PO did with it. Never had a problem.

Later I was told by a different person, it allows all the electronics to level out after shipping. :confused3:

I'll give it a shot what's to loose?

That's the way I look at it too! :thumbsup:

From my head, it has "hot start" feature for getting the acr started easier , Adjustable current in 1 amp steps from 5 to 160 amps DC. uses the 10 MM (3/8) Dinse connectors and has the 6010 port to run 6010 and 6011 better. I think the maximum input current was listed at 32 amps.
