Hello,

I just received my PP205.

Since I have no experience with a plasma cutter or heliarc welding, I will be asking a ton of questions.

Thanx

Welcome, Lone Wolf! Questions are welcome, no worries. What kind of things are you welding on? What drove you to get a plasma cutter / TIG welder?

[Lone Wolf]

Always been a bit of a metal worker.
I like fabricating and such.
I like to be self sufficient as much as possible... a do it your selfer.
Hence the lone wolf.
I've built choppers, go carts, racecars.....etc.
I have a wire & stick welder. bandsaw, drill press, jib crane, sanders, grinders yadda yadda.
A very nice man cave to hang out in.
40' x 40' x 16' with radiant floor heat.
I do signs, graphics, pinstriping and custom paint.

bet your sorry you ask now

Not sorry at all, glad to know the details. Post pictures if you got any- are you going to join the contest?!

I like the sound of radiant floor heat in the shop! Starting to get cold here in VA. That reminds me, it's time to winterize the small engines...

[Lone Wolf]

Not sure about any contests

I'll have to look into it.

I'll post some pics soon

Holy smokes, thats a nice shop. I've got a 100 year old horse and carraige stable, with wood floors.

LW, that's your shop?! Looks bigger than my house! And Buzz, welcome, a horse barn souns like a good spot for a shop too. Where are you from?

My shop is well ventilated and features solar lighting... meaning it's a spot outside the garage as close as I can get to the electrical outlets. These days daylight fades too soon, and it rains too often.

Minnesota, That must really suck not to have any shelter.
