Just got my 225LX and tried it out

Ok, got it... NO GREEN TUNGSTEN! No zirconiated either. I didn't get an owners manual, so I would not have seen it in there.

The thoriated works good. Then I'll grab some lanthanated tomorrow. You probably said what you meant to say. I most likely just heard you wrong. Either way, when using the correct tungsten, the HF works fine.

As far as my machine being refurbished or not... dunno, dont care. It's got the same warranty either way.

The stripped out screws don't bother me as long as I can just fix that issue myself without voiding my warranty.

As far as the spring goes, I just pulled it further and hooked it on the cut out slot that is a little further back in the base plate to give the spring more tension. Works great now.

Diabolic,
We have all the manuals loaded online. They are not included in the package, since we update them periodically. We will eventually get the US manuals into the packaging. But for now since they are online.

Fixing screws, or anything like that won't nullify the warranty... Just don't go making design changes to the circuitry.

Can any of you guys tell me the limited low side on this machine? I thought it was either 10 or 20 amps on AL and then 5amps on DCEN.

It does get cold enough before I cut the arc on AC, but i have to wait a few seconds for that puddle to freeze. Finding it challenging to keep that fish eye out of the last bead when I cut it off.

AC is 20 amps. DC is 5.

Turn your down slope to minimum and turn your switch to 2T.

Down slope is off, pulse is off. Everything is off. Only thing I use is the foot pedal. That is typically how I weld. I thinks it's just going to be me getting used to it is all. Every machine runs a little differently.

Here you can see how much smaller the Everlast is compared to the Lincoln.



Here is my first AC weld with the Everlast. This weld was done before I figured out you are NOT supposed to run the green 100% pure tungsten. Not perfect, but not bad for just setting the knobs on the first try and going with it.


I have a video too, but it is pretty boring.
