I think this is the case where UPS does a decent job the majority of the time but on the rare occasion when they do decide to damage a product while delivering it, they do it in spectacular fashion. People who get their Everlast equipment in perfect condition are usually pretty excited and the majority usually don't have time to let anyone else know. Those who have had the gorillas work over their package are usually pretty vocal and quick about it!Quote:

I might as well state that nothing I've ordered from Everlast has arrived damaged either. Each time something is shipped, I'm still as nervous as a first time dad expecting a baby though.Quote:

Is the warranty transferable? If I buy a used PT that's less than 2 months old?
Thanks - Todd.

Also, still about 50% the price of the Miller. I had a 210EXT for a while, and compared it to the Lincoln Versatec 205, and I would definitely go with the Everlast. Consider the warranty, and the speed of exchange if needed. The 200DX is a fine machine, and for capacity is easily compared to the Dynasty, at 1/3 to 1/4 the cost! Don't worry about gig torches, as you will probably upgrade or buy a couple, and the cost for a couple of CKs is still a rounding error, compared to the Miller Dynasty markup. BTW, in my experience, FedEx Ground usually does a better job of handling than UPS.
It ended up selling before I could get to it anyways. Thanks.Quote:

i kept my old regulator off my 185, which is in "lpm". i currently switch back to it.Quote:

SCFM is going to be so close to CFM that you can use them interchangeably for this application. Adjust flow to get the desired result and note the offset.Quote:

I also bought the Everlast 200DX and I LOVE it. I am a beginner tig welder. Bought CK torch, but to be honest, I like the switch on the handle so I still use the stock torch most of the time.
I've had no issues with the Everlast company or how I've been treated, good products and service.
very nice beads on the aluminum tank you did..what is it?
