I welded at work but never thought it was realistic to buy my |
|
own until a couple years ago when I got a Diversion 180. Maybe |
|
it's because I always viewed a $2,000 welder as being out of my |
|
price range up until that point. That or because a good machine |
|
always seemed to be one of those things that was never bought - |
|
it was something that was handed down from father to son over |
|
the generations - and I wasn't fortunate enough to be in that |
|
situation. Well I got one now and man, I can't believe I was |
|
able to make due without one for so long. |

Nice! I want to get that same welder. I have a millermatic 211 |
|
autoset right. Maybe in another year or so ill get my tig |
|
welder. I really enjoy welding and doing fab work. |

I need my 10 pt 4130 chromoly cage welded into my civic. |
|
I need to modify the floor on my S14 to get my seat to fit so my |
|
head isn't hitting my roll bar or the roof, and make up some |
|
sort of bracing for the front because intercooler too big =/. |

i wouldnt be able to do the chromoly cage, requires a tig |
|
welder, and i dont own one yet. i could do the work on the 240 |
|
though, but not sure how far you are from me. |
|
some more fab work i did today. |
