Yeah, the forum here has been pretty quiet and without any projects shown lately. So, I'll include this recent one of mine. It's a video, but I'll include some photo clips here too, along with the...

Hey,

There it is, some conciliation from Everlast personnel about a possible misunderstanding or miscommunication.

Rock On, Everlast!

Yeah,

The 275 isn't too big, compared to a 225. I mean, you get the same low amp arc starts on TIG, I'm sure.

If the 275 came with only a water-cooled torch, I wouldn't complain about that, as...

You may have a inrush amperage issue with your 220/240 breaker.

I mean, if it's a 30 amp breaker, you may get it to power up OK sometimes, and sometimes not.

Yeah,

I'd pop that pedal open with a simple shoehorn action. I upgraded to an SSC one for my 210EXT several years ago, and now Everlast has the Nova pedal which approximates the SSC.

Otherwise,...

Thanks,

But the image resolution allowed is so low that zooming in make it too jaggie.

Otherwise, if your momentary torch switch on 2T will give you the amps that your panel is set to, then...

Yeah,

That's not powered-on.

And show the torch and ground leads attached, for the fuller context.

Upload a pic of the whole front panel, powered-up.

Yeah,

The Everlast units over the past half dozen years are still largely unmatched for features, performance (especially in duty-cycle), warrantee, and value.

I think the EXT line of TIG...

Yeah,

Here's a 251Si video by that same gal, but it's not the one she did with the spoolgun on aluminum, which doesn't seem to be on her Channel anymore. Maybe there was a copyright violation, for...

Hey,

It happens!

That 251Si is a cool, pulsed MIG model, and probably the only 250amp pulsed MIG unit sold in North America with included HF start TIG function, that also comes with the pedal...

Right,

A hot start MIG setting is not that new or a Miller-only feature.

But running a MIG gun like a TIG torch isn't being done as a standard feature on any unit that I know of.

I mean, I'm...

Gee,

I'd check and reestablish all of the Ground fittings and connections, as well as all of the TIG torch connections, fittings, and collets, etc.

It probably is something simple like that.
...

Gee,

I've never heard of any MIG unit that has on-the-fly hand-amptrol ability.

The Parker spoolgun that Everlast sells does have amperage adjustment on the bottom of the handle, as I recall,...

Well,

I think it’s just the exterior styling, like with the whole EXT line, which got a recent so-called face lift.

Otherwise, the 210EXT apparently got a more robust high-frequency...

Yeah,

The forum isn't very lively, but Mark, from Everlast, usually gets around to fielding most every unanswered question eventually.

Several other forum members might respond to a question...

Gee,

Please, post a pic of the unit and cooler mated up together when you get it set up.

I think that 315LX has more TIG duty-cycle per amp, and at the best price per duty-cycle amp, even...

Gee,

If the unit is just for use in your home garage for smaller projects, like personal autos, etc., I'd say just try the #17 torch gas-cooled for a while. A #26 torch takes a larger sized...

Gee,

What happened to the two guys with new MTS 225 Lightning units?

Otherwise, here's a pic of that new digital-LCD AHP I also mentioned, which has the now-outdated Everlast EXT line styling....

I second that.

Don't even try it.

The tank is undoubtedly faulty, internally, probably from pitting due to a failure to drain the moisture out routinely enough.

Take the tank out of service,...

Gee,

Another new forum member is waiting for his 225 Lightning to arrive too.

So, maybe you guys can compare notes here at the forum so we can all be privy.

I mean, that unit is a...

Yeah,

That unit has it all: LCD display, AC/DC TIG (with the added Triangle waveform, which I like for thinner aluminum), MIG welding, memory function, blah, blah, blah.

Honestly, for about...

Gee,

That sounds (smells) bad enough that I'd just call Everlast for an RMA and send it in to them, as it's on warrantee for the parts and labor. Shipping will cost you a bit, but you'll get back...
