I use this for doing cold air intakes and SS hot sides for turbos and exhaust and
whatever else comes up.. This machine is a SUPERSTAR. I could not stand the green
anymore. It was horrible to me. Never liked it since day one. I finally said its time for a change.

I have 2 or three parts to this. Im posting the last part where its complete.
If you want to see the tear down and build look at the other videos on my channel.
Im not going to post them all here cause im not trying to push my videos. Im not
monetized on youtube anyway. I do this for fun and to show cool stuff. I got some good
LS builds coming up, if you want to see those and stay up to date SUBSCRIBE.

Post up what you got for welding stuff. This could be a great thread for NOOBS:cheers:

I wish I could find something vintage like that. Those are built to last. I went 255 ext
for more of aluminum tigging. Many options to choose from. :cheers:

Yea Hobart was one of the originals, was around a long time till Miller bought them out, was told several years ago, may or may not be true, that the Hobart stuff today is just Millers last version, branded Hobart. I'm fixing to be cutting a bunch of gauge plate will prob go ahead and buy me a little Hobart plasma for the job....

Oh wow, did not know that. Thats explains why they have interchangeable parts.

I had my welding privileges taken away from me when I had my stupid heart attack.
I have a computer buried in my chest that does not like it.
I never really got to learn, but my kid will have to step up his game and figure it all out.
