That's why I haven't had a go with my AC/DC TiG unit yet, I'm waiting on a friend of mine who's a pro-welder (ex Prodrive) to give me some tuition!
I'm not bad with a MiG, although that's very much easier than TiG of course

After electrifying the bench and giving myself a bloody good bolt.
It turns out I had the earth and torch plugged in round the wrong way. Apparently the welder I've got runs in reverse bench clamp in + and torch in - for DC TIG.
I'm told the odd electric shock resets the system, that should be me nice and reset for a few years.
A small update, SADEV is on order, should be landing early April, 40% deposit paid and the other 60% is with a trusted person as we all know I can't be trusted with large sums of cash.
Been doing some work in the workshop, which I think it can officially be called now as it's no longer a barn!!

Next order of business, organisation! Too much crap everywhere
Fantastic stuff. Looks like a great set-up now.
I'd love a lathe and a mill but I'm running out of room in my workshop. And out of room to extend it any further :(
I didn't really need a mill but this came up at a good price. Ofcourse it means I've now go to build a stand for it!!

And to build a stand I needed the bandsaw, which was also at a great price!!!
Got to love tools - and room to put them somewhere. [emoji7]
Does the lathe run a 3 phase motor? If so, is it hard or expensive to get 3 phase connected to your home/workshop in the UK?
