I got my hands on the new PrimeWeld MIG 285 welding machine. In this video, I take it out of the box and run a few welds in both MIG, Flux Core as well as a little stick welding. These are my first impressions and opinions. I tried to get it shorter, but wanted to make sure I covered as much as I could and get a few arc shots. And I still couldn’t get it all in.
