Just ordered a Hobart 210MVP

I've been wanting to try one for a year or so now. So I finally went ahead and got it ordered tonight from nortern tool.

I work offshore in the gulf of mexico and I have another week and a half left on my hitch but I'm ready to get in and give it a shot!

I got the Miller version last year. While I haven't used it a lot, but the auto set feature really does work feel. Smooth starts too.

I bought a 210MVP about 3 weeks ago. I went to a local farm supply store and they price matched Blaines for me.

I have about 3 weeks of welding experience and so far, it makes me think I am a better welder than I really am.

I haven't really had much time to burn much wire yet. I was pretty busy this past time at home. I did do a little playing and it was pretty easy. I might have made 6" of weld. I hope to get more time on it this time at home.
