Hello from NC

[ncsugrad2006]

Hello,

I am Carson, from Greensboro NC. I've been looking pretty hard at the Everlast products since they are much more affordable than blue/red and will probably pick up a 200DX once the "contest" is over (hoping for that 25% discount!). Mainly just for messing around / fixing whatever breaks around the house. I'd love to have a real use for it, but in the mean time it's more of something just to keep me busy on the weekend.

I've never done much welding before besides with an old stick welder and a homemade TIG welder my dad made one time--neither of which was pretty. Hopefully with a real welder I'll have a little better luck!

Welcome. It sounds like you and I are in a similar situation. I am also looking for a ~200 amp AC/DC TIG welder. The 200dx seems to be a solid little unit.

Also, Go Hokies!

Welcome aboard! I have the 250EX and I love it, works great!

lol, I guess you can probably make a guess on who I pull for?

I have heard a lot of people are happy with that model. Good to hear

Welcome ... good choice, I'm planning on using my 25% discount for the 200DX as well. Looks to be a good unit w/ nice features and simple controls ... I think it will be a great addition to my shop ... I will use it for fabrication and metal art.

Haha, yep. I used my exceptional powers of deduction.

I may have heard that the US office is out of the old style 200dx's and the next shipment will be the new ones. Awesome!

You are doing better than some, lol. Also, like the quote in your sig. I went for engineering, albeit Industrial so I won't pretend I'm a nuclear engineer or anything. Which type did you major in?

Sweet.

Nothing wrong with that, I work with a lot of industrial systems engineers who are smarter than me, lol. As for myself, I ended up with an aerospace engineering degree (class of 2007).

That's a toughie. I didn't have to take any AE courses (Statics was probably the closest I got). My roommates were nuclear engineers, which was surprising given how idiotic both of them were in real world situations (Or maybe it shouldn't be surprising, lol)
