hiya guys my name is mark nice to chat. first of all i would like to say thank you for all the invaluable information ive picked up here over the past months while researching different options for my very first welder.
I've never pressed the trigger on a mig before today and only did arc welding maybe 10-12 rods total so not competently. i will be a hobby user (work as a paramedic) not professional but still want high quality results and dont mind putting the effort in to get them.
long story short ive just picked up a lightly used kemppi minarcmig 200evo. pretty penny spent could have bought a r tech 180 brand new and with warrenty for less but the very impressive quality and 20 amp performance on the thin stuff won me over.
ill probably pick up some gas next week and start playing with it. expect ill develop some questions then.
I expect with the expierence on here sombody may predict some questions and if anybody has any pieces of advice please fire away, especially ones that go along the lines of "before you start make sure you dont ......... or you will brake your welder"
thanks very much guys and nice to meet ye so to speak.
