I just purchased a power plasma 50 and my first Tig Welder. The power Tig micro 185
I've started playing with the plasma cutter. After a few settup hiccups I love it. Hopefully I will have the tig up and runnig next week.
Anyone in the Kansas City area who can get a newbe started in Tig welding. Bob:D
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome, Bob! You've got quite the list of shop gear- what kind of things are you working on?
There's a lot of great info about TIG welding at WeldingTipsandTricks.com, and Lincoln, Miller, and ESAB also have educational materials to view or download.
I'm retired now but when I was working I was a Jet engine mechanic then I switched to a powerplant electrician and finally retired as a Aircraft Electrician. Now I'm just playing. I've always enjoyed making things So far I've machined out a couple of AR 15 receivers. Built some automatic tapping fixtures for the local tool supply, made a small steam engine and restored a couple of cars. I'm going to start making some small things for other people to fund my hobby. Bob
What power plant did you work at?
I worked for the govenment updating the controls and building backup powerplants all over the World for the Military.
Hey Vettebob. I live near the plaza n KC MO. I want to get into Tig as well. I used to Mig a Lot on the jeep but I have been out of the loop for about 10 years I got my machine up and running again and I'm starting with some small projects gardening tools to be exact.. sounds like you have had a great career, let me know if you need an extra pair of hands, I would love to see your Everlast machines.
I'm in Blue Springs You're welcome to come by Bob
Great that you're close enough to get together- nothing like an extra set of knowledgeable hands, or extra eyes or ideas. Let us know when the Kansas City chapter of the Everlast user group gets together!
Thanks bob. have you gotten the microtig up and running yet? Blue springs isn't to far away from me, maybe 25 miles. I will have to take you up on that some time.Quote:
