Yeah,

I used a #9 flex torch for a short time, years ago, but it did fail from a flexing crack pretty quickly, as I would often exceed its duty-cycle too.

A generic #9 torch head is cheap, so...

Yeah,

What's your argon tank size, in CF?

When my tanks (200 CF) get down to about 200 psi, the shielding seems to get compromised.

You may be long-arcing a bit too.

I'd give yourself a...

Well,

I’ve uploaded a video about this project to my YouTube Channel. And I’m happy to share with Everlast users any of these ideas, which may be somewhat original in furniture design and...

Gee,

I've never before heard anyone complain about the paint finish on an Everlast unit.

I mean, my 210EXT is still brilliant and unblemished after 6 years.

I'm pretty sure they're all...

Yeah,

Nice call on checking them anyway.

You solved the mystery!

Gee,

Maybe you have the gas set with too much velocity. What's your CFH and cup size?

Maybe you have pre-flow set too long. Try none, or .5 sec.

Set to 2T or pedal?

If the HF...

Nice,

So, you probably just smoked the previous torch/cable/hose then?

Was it gas-cooled, and now you're going to water-cooled?

I'd check your water lines for good circulation. Maybe there...

Well,

I took the bench made with some free wood and rebar concept a little further down the proverbial rabbit hole, by actually purchasing some rebar and getting some used 2" x 12" boards, so that...

Call, Everlast,

Their phone tech service may not be contingent on the warrantee length.

I mean, Mark, from Everlast, monitors this forum and would probably be happy to do the routine steps by...

Yeah,

I wouldn't recommend any 115V MIG unit, especially a heavy transformer one, as it may not give you it's full rated output without a 30 amp breaker, which isn't typical for households.

So,...

Yeah,

If you booger the tungsten up too bad, a flap-disc on an angle-grinder will do very well, in a pinch.

Otherwise,

An actual spot welder doesn't cost much.

Gee,

I'll recommend getting the 255EXT, even if you have to wait or save a little for it. But it is on sale right now, marked-down about $500, to $1999.

The 250EX Everlast AC/DC TIG model seems...

Hey,

Good move on the 255EXT!

Please let us all know back here, within this thread, how you like it and find it as a market value...

Yeah,

If MIG is your process-of-choice, which makes sense, for trailer stuff, the I-Mig 200 is a good choice at around $650, especially since it will Stick weld too, for those time when welding...

And,

Another plus for the 210EXT, is that it has a lower minimum amperage on AC, which is key for doing thinner aluminum.

I think I've used my 210EXT down to .060 on aluminum, on a practice...

Yeah,

The Everlast website now seems to charges a shipping fee, but has the units priced lower than on Amazon.

Everlast sells their units on Amazon with free shipping.

So, Amazon may be the...

Oh,

Yeah, I guess I wasn't paying enough attention to the post. Sure, if you're putting in the power/service, more is better, i.e., a 50 amp breaker will undoubtedly work well for nearly any 250...

Gee,

Have no fear, even with an apparently used Everlast purchase!

The 200DV will work well on a 30amp 240V breaker (in my experience), even if the inrush amps is slightly above that rating. I...

Well,

Even 30% more CAD isn't a bad value.

Go ahead and treat yourself!

Bravo,

That seems to be the most brilliant AC/DC TIG-MIG-Stick unit at 200 amps that can be had on planet Earth, and had at an outstanding value, too!

I mean, I dig the added AC Triangular...

Oh, wow,

Now there are custom Everlast machine covers.

I mean, I usually just throw a light welding jacket over my unit. But, these covers look pretty good.

14057

Oh, gee,

There's now an end of year clearance on units like the 255EXT.

14056

Yeah,

It's pretty cool how Everlast is a nimble enough company that they're accessible enough to average users here on their forum, and that happily shares previews of new products or upcoming...

Oh,

And now the hood itself, too!

Ha, ha, ha...

ROCK ON, Everlast!
