This is what 36hrs overtime got me!

Very True statement! Nothing worse than trying to weld with a machine that gives fits and problems. Especially when they're more than 10% out of calibration of what your settings say.

At work, maintenence will go around every 3-4mo and check/calibrate our machines. I think it may also be a requirement to retain our ISO 9001/ASME Sec9/AWS certifications as well.

Nice buy, by the way, I'm very jealous. But as of now I have access to any kind of machine I want to use at work. Jealous none the less, lol.

i have "settled" for the machine i had for a long time. the guys at the shop made me run a couple passes with a machine they had set up and i had to have one. still took me 6 months to talk myself into getting one but now that i am over watching that $1000 leave my wallet im glad i did it.

on a side note! I was looking into extension cords........ holly **** they want an arm and a leg for cords. I went down to my local home creep show and got me 25ft. of 8-3 wire and the correct ends for $65. took me 20 min to install the ends and now i have a bad *** extension cord that cost me about 1/3 of the retail price.
