Ladies, Gentlemen:
The summer has been hot and dry throughout much of the country. We've opened our cans of worms when we wanted to go fishing and found them stinking! Weather like that makes normally well meaning people say and do things they normally wouldn't be doing...like sitting indoors mad at the heat so their idle hours are spent on the net venting their misplaced frustration. Unfortunately it seems like we've had some casualties. I hope they aren't permanent...Voices and people are missed.
They say the muscle hardest to control in the body is the tongue. Stare in the mirror stick out your tongue and see if you can keep it still. You nearly can't. Try it. And by extension, it's our fingers that get us into hot water. Unfortunately on the internet, we don't have to live with the consequences of hasty thought or action. We can skate by here without having to think about and see how it impacts others, but it does have an impact on other people. Hopefully we can patch over our differences and express them in a kinder, gentler tone as cooler temperatures come and we get back to doing things we enjoy (myself included).
With that said, I had started an earlier thread regarding the Power iMIG 140E that had to be pruned. I was asked to start a new thread with pictures etc. Well, here it is, but with video.
Guys, lets exercise some self control and don't try to mess this up, even if you don't like the product. Let's see if we can break the cycle.
This is part 1 out of ....well we'll see, but probably 3 or 4 parts. More to come as they are completed.
The goal is not to discuss 120V vs 240V MIG or specific projects that can and can't be done. That is not the goal. The goal is to alert you to something a bit different with more capability than the average 120V unit, and an alternative to higher priced units. This is a simple welder, more simple than many of our other MIGs that feature MIG and stick capability, along with digital readouts and dual voltage etc. I want the performance of the 140E to speak for itself in the last video or two...and people can discuss then and draw their own conclusions...nicely. (I hope)
Oh, and keep in mind this is not a transformer MIG! It is an IGBT based inverter . Many of the "other" import inverter MIGs you may see out there are nice but some are MOSFET based, which is a whole 'nother can of worms. Fire away with questions, general on topic remarks.
