    Are you sure you're not flipping the bird? Man, gotta get me some new glasses ....

    Nice to see you've confronted the aluminum demon and zapped him good with arc. Good for you, Winky.

    Is it OK to want to break something just so that you can weld it back together?

    That ol' aluminum is a little tough at first ... I learned w/ T2 subtlety is the key ... then I hooked up the pedal and thought ... oh gee ... this is a breeze ... I do love this 200DX ... what a fantastic machine!

    Yeah, you picked a good one. Glad everything is working out for you and the welder. I know you were looking at that model for quite a while. Well worth the wait.

    Yes sir, it truly was worth the wait and I highly recommend this machine to anyone who is serious about welding.
