i'm interested in a 225lx purchase, got a couple questions....
1. can i get the smaller style weldcraft "type" torch with it?
2. can i add on a cooler later?
3. how much is shipping to a business zip code 48390
4. how much is shipping to residents 48083
5. does it come with a foot pedal? I think its a standard item
trying to get my cash right so i can get one;-)
my concern with the stock torch is its bulky, like, big cones, i do tons of roll bars/ cages and need to be able to get into tight areas.
looking forward to some replies.

I just ordered this welder myself but haven't yet received it. i feel that I can answer some of your questions though.
1. I don't know but Mark will be able to answer.
2. Yes! The welder comes with a water cooled torch, from my understanding. you only need to add the cooler later, not a torch and cooler.
3. The prices quoted on Everlasts site are including shipping, You'll definitely need a quote if outside the continental US though.
4. See above.
5. The 225LX comes with a foot pedal.
I hope this helps! You can also go to the products portion of the website. They have tons more info there. Just click on the PDF specs sheet!

We have a smaller WP20 torch, you can order one when you place your order.
Shipping in the US is free.
All AC/DC TIG welders have a foot pedal.
(EDIT) A cooler is required if you run over 150 amps for any short (very short) time. I used the WP20 for some time at 55amps last night with no problem and no cooler. But I think with the WP20, you should plan on running the cooler.

Any torch can be added. You only need to make sure it has a DINSE 35-50 connector on the end, which is the standard connector these days. And some adaptation of the gas valve will need to be made, but it is about a 3 dollar part.(or you can use the fitting off the existing torch.) Please see other "conversion" posts by rugar and others.
To expand Mikes comment:
The torch that comes with the LX is watercooled so we strongly suggest you have a water cooler for it. Brief periods of welding up to 150 amps can be tolerated for a couple of minutes with this torch without water, but not long and not higher than that either.
