Interesting observation, however not one that I share.

I called Everlast and UPs shipping responded rather than Everlast. That takes out the argument of a third party involvement / responsibility....

Yeah,

It was just a coincidence that it shipped the day after I called to inquire. Quite a coincidence to be sure.

An explanation, or a communication of any kind for that matter, would have...

Update:

I called the number + extension that performance provided. It was Brett again and he said he'd look into it. The next day I got an email from UPS that Everlast is sending me a package from...

Thanks. Will do.

No mention of anywhere but Tennessee for repairs when I spoke to Everlast. I live near their San Francisco office so offered to drive the welder to there. Nope, send it to TN.

About $100 for...

My PA300 quit working and I sent it to Tennessee under warranty (purchased 5/3/14). It arrived on 8/18/17 with UPS shipping pre-paid both ways through Everlast (Katya). The RA is EV20170811-101 given...

Amazon also has it. You can get it by Friday (3/13) if you have Prime:

As already discussed, 70-80A will barely get a spark. You may be laying metal on metal with very little penetration at that level. Sure, it looks good but it is not really a "weld".

Your idea to...

Depending on the brand of rod, 1/8" 7018 can take up to 140A to start and run reliably.

Re-starts with 7018 could be a problem anytime, even with a relatively clean tip. But first starts should...

If the machine does not have a "pilot arc" then you are screwed with expanded metal.

Most of the Power Plasma machines have the pilot arc. I cut expanded metal often and easily. It doesn't help...

Not me.

I'd ztest abc def ghi jkl mno pqr stu vwx and then yz. After that, paint it and be done.:)

I rushed out and bought the HF one with a 25% off coupon. They only had one. The HF guy said that he had not seen one before and that it was on the most recent shipment.

Sooo...I put it together...

As an aside, kudos to Everlast for leaving this thread up.

That tends to invalidate the claims of manipulation and censoring by the unenlightened.

I very much enjoy my PA200 and it does...

As the others, I hate to be negative but those tongs are just too light to last and rebar is made of questionable metal that bends easily. I'm all for home-made stuff and you have a good general...

Like it better already. Easier to read.

^^^You know, it is this kind of customer service that keeps Everlast products in my shop and is the reason Everlast is recommended to others by me.

Don't think there is such a thing as a Power Arc 250.

Lots of information is on this site and others about the type of generator needed. Pretty soon an Everlast rep will be here to let you know.

Agree with the other responses. Those small inline filters are mainly for spray painting. I tried one on my PP70 and it plain did not work.

There are many better alternatives, both retail and...

Definitely not the correct application for those small filters. They are made for paint spray guns as has already been mentioned. With the volume of air necessary for a plasma cutter it doesn't seem...

Different rods require different amp settings. Use this Miller calculator as a general guide:

Now that you have the Lincoln guide, here is the Miller guide:

Post a link to verify this assumption (in red above).

Metal Fume Fever is what it is called. Can't upload a *.PDF file so here it is in text from the American Welding Society.

Another option using the same principle is to use a second, old compressor tank in place of the 2" pipe. I've gone through so many compressors that it is stupid so have spare tanks available. The...

The PP50 has a pilot arc but it must not be working based on your description. I notice that nobody from Everlast support has chimed in to this thread yet so maybe one of them can come up with an...
