Hi everyone. Just a little about me, I've been a hobby/garage welder for 15+ years now. Just this last spring though, I graduated from a 2 year college welding program. I'm currently working as a welder running .045 Dual-shield primarily. I finally broke down and bought my first welder for home....a new Tweco Fabricator 141i 3 in 1. Let me tell you, so far this machine has been excellent running solid wire! I did try a couple of stick beads but it seemed to struggle a bit...not sure if it was the machine or me being rusty though. Tried it with 3/32 7018 and 6010 then tried a 1/8 6010. Didn't seem like it wanted to keep the arc going. Again, it could have just been me and being very rusty with stick.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to chatting with everyone!!!
