Finally stepped up and got me an ac/dc tig. It was the only thing my shop was lacking. Couldn't get by anymore with just a spool gun on my blue welder to weld aluminum. I haven't tig welded since my 1984 college welding class. I know a lot has changed since then but hopefully I can pick it back up fairly quickly.

Welcome, NCJeeper! What machine did you get?

[NCJEEPER]

I picked up the 185.

That's a good machine to jump back into it with.

Hey NCJEEPER, welcome. Hope you have fun relearning tig. I'll bet it comes back to you quick.

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on the new machine purchase. I can't imagine having gone that long without TIG welding though! After I learned to TIG in college, I felt like something was missing once I lost access to a TIG machine! That was probably the longest 3 years of my life (haha). One thing's for sure though, that new machine of yours is nothing like the last TIG welder you used...It's MUCH better! A lot has changed in 30 years.

Thanks everyone. I got the machine set up and ran out of time to play with it sunday. Hopefully melt some metal next weekend.
