Welcome to the forums, Bel! Congrats on the new machine! I don't have a Power Arc but I do like the stick capabilities on the IMIG: w-a-a-a-y different than the AC crackerbox I have. What kind of welding do you have in mind, and what's your location? You may find another member close by.

Post some pics of that bad boy!

well I got it last week and just got time to put a plug on it and try it out for a minute it welds fine ,but the rod holder had to go so I put a whole new stinger on it with 1/0 lead and will replace the ground before I weld very much with it ,probably want post a picture of it just hoping it will last like my blue machines have and if this one holds up I will be replacing all the blue ones as they need to be replaced with big Green ones

bel, If you get a chance, try some 5p 6010s with it and let us know how well they run on it.

I use 6010 5p with my powerarc 200 and they run pretty good. They sometimes see to go out easy but im sure its just me. Overall they work good with it and the more I use them with it the better they are running for me.
