Man that's beauty..  Is it a mig, stick, tig all in one.. I have had a Lincoln 180 Mig for about 15 years and it's still as good as the day I bought it.. Only troubles I have had is the feeder spools wearing I just figure I am to old to bother now with a tig unless I can do dental work with one.. That sure looks purdy though.. Have fun when you get it plugged in and making stuff post a couple more pics.. for us poorer guys..smile

i have never tried a tig machine. i have seen some guys who know what they are doing with one do a heck of a job though. i have had a plasma cutter for some time but just more or less played with it till last week. had to cut some 5/16x8" i-beam stuff several times and was quite impressed. hypertherm powermax 6, whatever that means. took it in as payment on a debt owed.
-judging by all the accessories that came with your new machine i figure it is more than an entry level machine by chance. good for you, a new tool and new tools are a good thing.
