Any chance its stuck on DC, does it buzz when the frequency is at 250? 4043 will need close 1/8 inch of visible cleaning action per side before the weld will get shinny, 5356 will get shinny with...

I have to ask this question. Back when Everlast was still pushing Mosfets, Lugweld posted on Welding Webb that all the problems with Mosfets and Everlast was from one batch of bad Mosfets. I took...
I would not have a problem with any Everlast machine with Mosfets mainly because I know the warranty is good. On the other hand I would never buy one that has to shipped back to China for repair.
...
No way would I send in a Super Ultra 205 to get a 160STH back, even if the 160STH had double decker IGBT's. The cheapest dual voltage 50 amp plasma on the market is over 300 bucks, it would have to...
Riverweld has the cheap ones. I want to start with the Trafimet brand tips, I think the tip,electrode and diffuser is needed to convert. The Trafimet pics show a ceramic tig like cup available that...
I just replaced my burned up cup on my A81 torch, I was thinking about trying the long electrodes and tips hoping they would keep the heat and sparks away from the cup, and most of all give a better...
I do just the opposite. I spend a lot time behind the helmet, welding 3 hours straight is common with stopping just long enough to rotate a part on days I weld on DC at 35 amps. On Aluminum days the...
It looks like you are using 4043 filler by the blistered look on the top 3 welds, and the bottom weld has more cleaning action and most of the blisters went away. Try 5356 filler for practice it does...
I go to a smaller tungsten size if the arc is unstable and dancing on low amperage AC welds. On the Syncrowave you got to or it looks like a Tesla coil. LOL
The 250ex does good with 3/32 most of...
4043 will do that on 6061 when there is not enough cleaning action.
With a fixed .3 pre-flow, is that enough for a 25 foot torch?
I take a long piece of 20 gauge steel sheet metal 1 inch wide, roll it in a slip-roll until it is a full circle just a little bigger than the ID of the pipe. Then squeeze it into the end of the...
I would like to hear more about how it welds up next to the 250ex. The only other 110 units that have extended ac balance, frequency up to 250 and pre-flow are Miller and maybe Lincoln that I know of.
I don't know if anybody else does but I stick little thin pieces of pin stripping tape on the face above the ac balance and frequency to be able to repeat weld setups, one color for each different...
I know that Everlast listens to what their customers say, I can see that by looking at the newer models such as the potentiometers on the front panels would get loose from the plastic wrapping during...
I believe it is by far the most tig for the money for ac welding. I need a 110 welder for parts of the shop without 220, but that little quirk with the foot control has kept me from buying one.
Does the foot control still override the panel amperage?
I spent most of the day adjusting the welder out for thin aluminum, I always use 5356 because it welds so much better on the 250ex and the Syncrowave 250. And also that is the correct filler for that...
I weld aluminum everyday on my 250ex, as long as I am welding thick aluminum to thick aluminum or thick aluminum to thin aluminum it leaves beautiful welds. I have never got it to weld thin stuff...
After doing some heavy duty thinking, I bought two torches for my needs, one was a CK20 for everyday use and a 24-W to get into tight areas, both have the quick connects. The 24-W is a very very...
Thinking about putting a Flex Loc 230 torch on the 250ex, anybody got one or know how good they are? Main questions I have, does the swivel torch stay tight and with no water running through the head...
Will the ZHCK-W from Arc Zone fit the newer water coolers? It converts the 5/8 left hand water line to quick release.
Thinking of adding a PT185 for the convenience of 110 in parts of the shop. Does the foot control still override the panel amperage?
Does the machine have enough post flow for high amperage welds?
My first 250EX was bought used, it was owned by a guy who worked on all brands of welders. He said the 250EX was not welding at factory specs, it would not pulse at .2pps and would not weld at 10...
The number one question is, will the 210EXT hold a sharp tungsten (red) at high amperage and not get dingle berries on AC? The 250EX will do this only after the AC balance potentiometer has been...
