Hello from Minnesota!

Hey everone! I've been around this forum doing some reading here and there for the past year or so. Decided to join the team:) I've been using the 185 Micro for a year and a half and it's worked out great. Oleg sold me the machine and Mark has helped out with some questions I had. Good company and glad I found them.

I attend MCTC and ST.Paul college studing fabrication and welding. I am 3G 7018 certified but mostly use GTAW for making things.

I like airplanes, classic trucks (60's and older), guitars, tubes amps, music, biking, photography, video production, skiing and fixing houses.....probably a lot more:)

Hope I can meet some cool people on here and get and offer advise from time to time. I'm selling my 185 and buying a 250ex this month, which is a huge step up for me. Glad to be here and thanks - RJ

Welcome, Fellow Minnesotan! If you want to give a 250EX a real live test, you're welcome to swing by my shop on any Saturday or Sunday. I've had mine for just over a year and REALLY like it. PM me for contact info. and we can talk.

Welcome to the board and I'm sure you'll find a lot of support here. That's a nice welder your eyeing. If you're doing a lot of tig then that's an easy decision isn't it. I like the brute power of stick but will need some more control and speed over the process. A mig setup is an option for myself sometime if the future.

Anyways, cheers and post some projects!
