+1 on Diamond Ground. Their office is about 5 minutes from my house, so I can will call an ebay auction and pick it up on my way home from work. Once I bought the wrong tungsten, and they gave me...

I too favor my left foot for the foot pedal operation, but I am constantly challenging myself by switching hands holding the torch and the foot running the pedal. That way it's much less awkward when...

From what I've read, pure argon is the best shielding gas for titanium, but I would be interested to hear if anyone has tried it; and what their results were compared to straight argon. I do not...

I know that Mark is a very qualified and experienced welder, and he has cautioned me once over the phone and once in a post about the dangers of titanium welding fumes. I'm not doubting the man, but...

Performance, any info on the toxicity of titanium welding fumes? Admittedly, I haven't been looking since I was hoping you could fill me in with your source.

Yes wookie, I wipe the metal down with acetone and handle it with nitril gloves to eliminate handling contamination :)

I got my backing pad from H.F. for $4 or something like that. It is the "R" disk with the male threaded mount.

Now, plasma cutting titanium is coooooool! :cool: For reference, the white sparks you see in fireworks is titanium powder burning. Unfortunately, I don't have any action shots of plasma cutting the...

Thanks for the input sportbike. You can definately see the oxidation on the backside of the weld, but the front side stayed protected to varying degrees. Anything outside of the HAZ appears to be...

AMEN to that!!! TIG is cleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaan! So much less post weld clean up makes up for the moderately slower weld times compared to MIG :-)

I started a new thread in general welding about the subject Mark. Please take a look and add your wisdom.

Hello fellow everlast owners, I own a PT250EX. I got the 250EX specifically due to the wide adjustability of the pre and post flow because I wanted to start dabbling in welding titanium. I read...

That was a very informative video for the beginner, looking forward to making their own SS header. Thanks for sharing :)

I like the versatility. With a couple of switches and knob turns, I can weld any type of metal in my garage, including some titanium I've been playing with :D

You'll find your mig still comes in handy for tacking mild steel together, but once you get the hang of tigging, you'll find you prefer the cleaner weld and less/no grinding :) But be warned, you...

Thanks to the OP as well for posting this. I just requested the trial kit as well, and look forward to seeing how well they compare to the lws ones and the HF ones.

Welcome to the everlast community, and NICE projects! Alex is probably right about the PP205 being enough welder for your needs. I have a 250EX, and the couple times I have cranked up over 200 amps...

I look forward to being in a position to add a water cooler to my 250ex as well. I had some issues with my first unit (November shipment) that I was not able to repair on my own. My replacement unit...

My unit came with the 18 torch and I just got the WP20 torch. The 20 worch is TINY compared to the stock torch! My WP20 torch isn't a flex head though, I didn't know it was an option.

Since I've never had a tig welder, let alone a welder with a digital display, I always go by the display. I spin the knob until the amp readout shows a little higher than I think I need, the foot...

On top is the collet, gas lense and cup I just bought. On the bottom is the stock supplied parts. The gas lense and associated cup fits just fine, But the stock parts are a little iffy. I'm sure I...

OK guys, I ran into a small snag. When I went to assemble my new torch, I couldn't get the cup to thread onto the collet body. It seems there were not enough threads exposed past the insulator to...

YAY! My WP20 torch arrived today. I ripped it out of the package, and.....it's soooooo tiny! Here is the stocker next to the 20 torch1223

You're welcome Bradley :cool: I hope you got your machine squared away and running right. I just refilled my argon tank for the first time. Considering the amount of actual welding time I have put...

To illistrate how well the welder is working, here is 2 titanium coupons, .015" thick autogenously lap welded together. I'm looking forward to getting a back purge set up to do the welds...
