Same here. Very nice machine if the OP wants to spend $1500 getting it ready to weld

Just get a Lincoln 225 and be done with it. Yeah stick is a little harder, but same basic principles. Build a table to get started. Watch YouTube videos for instructions. It's how I learned to MIG



I have an auto-darkening helmet from either harbor freight or northern tool that was like $50 shipped and only have problems when the sun is coming over the back of me. Solid, cheap helmet. Get some gloves from HD too

$60 Northern Tool helmet

225 can be had with a free $620 torch set from Harris if purchased before June 30, or a weld pack that includes a burning jacket, auto dark hood and 50 pound box of rods. That's what I would recommend as well

Eta: that's the Lincoln ranger 225, not that eagle bullshite from home depot
