New welding machine

This week my new welding machine came in. And today the argon bottle arrived so I could give it a try.

Yes! This little machine welds like a charm! I ordered a pedal (for current control) as well and this works absolutely great. The torch is not so bulky as @ welding classes and the machine can be set very precisely. I tried approximately 25 cm but this welder already earned my respect.

Assembling the torch was a bit of a hustle. The thread was a bit rough so it cost me a couple of  minutes and a bit of WD40 to get it done.

Now waiting for the aluminum (next week) and do some cuttings.
