Old welders can learn new tricks too. Been at the trade for over 50 years now and just got a new machine to play with. Found a new/old stock Thermal Arc 185 Pro Wave and snatched it up. These days I mostly do art stuff using my CNC plasma and this machine will come in handy versus the MIG I generally use.
I've read this forum for a long time but had not joined or posted here before. I may have to ask some of you folks how to use some of the features of this machine. Welding (TIG) technology has come a long way from the old equipment we used on the jobs.

Craig I have a Hypertherm 1250 on an 8x10 table using CandCNC electronics. CorelDraw, Sheetcam and Mach3 - love it. Mostly art type stuff but every now and then I cut parts for a local fabricator,
