Waiting for the brown truck to drop off my PP 164
I have never tigged in my life.. Just used a buzz box and some wire feed flux core. Strictly hobby and simple repair stuff.
Anyway im looking forward to learning more about this tig stuff.
Ill let you guys know how things progress after my welder arrives.
Welcome, JohnT! Waiting for the brown truck can be tough, and I know from experience that checking the delivery link every 30 minutes or so doesn't help! But it does give you time to collect TIG specific supplies... pure argon, tungsten, filler, etc. Good luck with it, and do keep us posted!
Thanks Dave,
And you're right about checking the delivery link...
I hate waiting for things myself they always come when I go out or in the men's room. But Everlast I don't have to wait just call and drive down they are just 75 minutes away, just there yesterday to get a new PP80S sold my PP70S to the shop down the road. Now when it come you will be busy and not have time to get it out of the box. JohnT welcome to the forum you will like the PP164.
Welcome JohnT,
I myself am a newbie :cool: ,
in the last few days i have been doing a lot of reading to familiarize my self with techniques, knowledge and trouble shooting.
so far i have found an answer to all of my questions and concerns . I was recommended by DaveO To weldingtipsandtricks.com website which you might find useful, hopefully as much as i did/ still am.
Hi Frank,
Thanks for the welcome and the tip to welding tips and tricks. I have been to that site many times and yes it is a great resource.
Another great resource is chucke2009 on youtube. That kid is a tremendous teacher and his videos are great. He gets right to the point , no BS just good info.
Welcome John,
I have seen chucke2009 a couple times. But hard to beat Jody's humor sometimes. Where in Florida are you. I'm in Palm Beach area.
Pasco/hernando area
Actually it was a combination of Reviews by Jody, Chucke2009, and Mr Tig that convinced me to buy Everlast.
I was torn between Everlast and "the other guys" I hope I like the combo unit as opposed to separate tig and plasma.
We will see. I expect my welder to arrive this week.
JohnT sounds like you have good experience with welding, I will definitely check that youtube channel out,
Thanks
