The biggest part of my grant was to cover the cost of a multi-process welder that would allow me to cut and weld larger steel for a public type sculpture. I did a lot of research and decided on one from PrimeWeld (due to the reviews about their customer service and a 3 year warranty). I ordered my PrimeWeld CT520D multi-process welder from PrimeWeld on December 13, 2020. Received my welder 12/16/2020. (See box opening and assembly below in previous post.) Then it rained. Then it snowed. Then it got really cold.
My welding yard is an roofed shed off the back of my home. I finally got it out on December 30 and tried it out. I had some minor problems and called PrimeWeld. I got someone on the phone right away. They put me in contact with George’s Plasma Cutter And Welder Repair Shop. George walked me through my questions and shazam the plasma torch worked beautifully. The reviews I read about PrimeWeld were true. Great customer service!!
I made my first test cut through stainless steel . Now I just need to design a sculpture and build it. What could go wrong? How hard could it be?
