    Default Just finished hooking up the 250EX today

    Put the cart together, picked up an argon tank and got everything hooked up.
    Checked the gas flow and made sure the water cooler was working.
    I Picked up some scrap stainless and aluminum from the scrap yard and just have to wait on my tungsten and a few other things.
    I will be watching some of the welding Tips and Tricks video’s tonight or tomorrow.
    It should be a lot of fun.

    Looks like you are off to a good start. The local welding supply did not have tungsten or wanted too much? And you need some filler too.

    Post up pictures and have fun.

    When the tank was purchased, I looked at the prices on the tungsten and filler at the LWS and decided no thanks.
    Ended up buying from WeldingCity.com and WeldingSupply.com.

    The tank is large and normally picked up locally. But there are deal online for sure. Just restocked tungsten, MIG wire and filler from the internet.

    It is actually the Powercart 250 that Everlast sells.
    I was quite impressed on how nice it was for the money.
    All I have to do is add some filler rod holders and I am good to go.

    Agreed. One of the first things to be made with my 250EX will be a cart, most likely from aluminum.
