Hi, My Name is Gary. I live in Wisconsin. I am retired form the maint. field . Before that I was a welder in a pattern shop for 15 years. I am now starting a welding buisness and was in need of modernizing my equipment. Time is money so my old 60's eara tig welder and sutch need to go. I ordered a 60 amp plasma from everlast last week so it should be here any day. I will also be ordering a 250 EX soon if I like the quality of the plasma setup. Oxy acyt still has its place but gases have gotten so expensive that the plasma will pay for itself very quickly. I started my buis. about 2 months ago and made a few calls to people I have done work for in the past and things have taken off quicker than I thought so I have been rushed to upgrade faster than I expected. I am shoping for a low hours trailblazer 302 also so I can run the plasma and hopefully the 250ex in the field also. Then I can dump my old Miller big blue that only has 3500 watts of auxillery power.
