Howdy,
Newbie here with an inherited MIG.
My Friend had to move and left me his Eastwood 175 (220V) - It is still in the boxes.
I learned to weld in high school ( decades ago), but we used an old Lincoln buzz box stick.
I need to learn about MIG use.
Once I get a good beginning setup, I can experiment with other settings to adjust for the materials.
thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
Perry

Welcome to the site Perry!
Nice score on the Eastwood from your friend. Not knowing what you know about them here's a link where you can find a video from Eastwood on setting up the 175 for the first time. Have fun!

Go break something, then you can weld it back the right way.
