I only have the chrome foot pedal left!

His welds crack because he might not have gotten enough penetration down to the root of the crack and only did a cover up so the crack was still...

Great work they look like they just rolled off a machinery assembly line.

Extra contact tips of .023, .030 and .035. Nozzle spray or dip work, or PAM. Did you get a spool gun? 4043 probably will not feed well.

No downslope on the 185. 200DX, yes, 185, no. I remember the boat welding post. Doesn't work well with an abrupt cutoff.

Good comparison. I like ours better of course ;) For the most part, with the spool gun, it would handle most needs. But some people will need the...

Does the PT185 have any downslope, or is the arc always suddenly off when you let off the torch switch? If it has some downslope, it could be set...

Ah yes, the nozzle spray, thanks. I do have straight Ar, one of the reasons I gave up even trying to dial in. :) I don't think I ever touched the...

if its not too late maybe a roll of wire for stainless steel if you ever work with it.

I tried 98% Argon/2% O2 for Spray Arc Transfer on steel it worked OK but with a little adjustment I got 75% Argon 25% co2 to work just fine, 80%...

Might as well add a pound of 5356 alum wire. Some drives do a lot better with that. Nozzle gel or spray. Mig gloves (depending on what you have...

Welcome rwcme, hope you will enjoy the new acquisition. Most people seem quite happy with that model, plenty of cajones to handle most anything.

Not sure I would want the defib model zapping me while welding either though. I have seen out MIGs as well interfere with the TV signal. So I would...

A pace maker is not a pace maker is not a pacemaker. By that I mean that are several types. There are pace makers that completely control the heart....

Ha ha,I never did it was a project I worked on.I got 3 and using one so the other 2 have to go.

Did you stop playing guitar ?

It's rare from what I see. Some of the old machines had a chip to fail sometimes but that was a minor thing. The new ones are well sorted... the...

The main concern has been TIG with High Frequency from what I've been told. I've also been told they make shielded pace makers just for these type...

I have a pacemaker and have no problems with mig tig and stick. My normal testing and data transmission from my implant shows no problems. My...

I have purchased quite a few pices of equipment from Alex as of 6/14/13 I can not use due to a pacemaker I build street rod parts and weld

Was looking at the 200 but I think you guys might have me leaning towards the 250 ex now...sounds like it would handle the thicker stuff a bit...

Its in a hobbyist setting with light to heavy use and 3 to 4 days per week depending on the project.

I have PowerTig 250EX 2013 and I use it 4 or 5 times a week mostly welding aluminum just did a intake turbo manifold I made last year and had to put...

I like the machine so well I hate not have it, will it is in for warranty. I will ask Duncan how long they will have it for.

Since you just got this machine, wouldn't you be better off to have it replaced under warranty ?
