Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, got a starter welder to practice mig welding with. Read a couple reviews on this welder, most of the bad reviews were due to shipping or something that didn't have anything to do with actual welding. Guy says he owned it for 4 weeks since he had to weld some exhaust for a bike, then his work supplied him with a Hobart Welder and Jackson helmet. So I got a decent "starter kit" deal.









Welder: Speedway Series 125 Amp Flux Welder
Helmer: Hobart Discover VS
1x Spool of "Inweld Auto welding wire" which can't be used with the machine since it's not flux
2x 1lb Lincoln Flux wire spools.

Need to pick up some gloves and at least an apron tomorrow.

The only thing I don't like is how the helmet sits, it has a weird strap as opposed to what a typical helmet/hard hat would have.





I need to wear a hat so it doesn't bob around. May just pick up some goggles instead, would rather do that then accidentally flash myself.




Sorry for the spam, just excited to try it out.

Nice looking set up.
Wear the helmet. Unless you want a sun tan. Plus most burning goggles, if that's what you want to use won't protect your eyes properly.
