Power Tig 225LX Pulse Question

[MikeGyver]

I haven't said anything derogatory toward the welder (infact I've given it praise). I've just said that I am disappointed with how the pulser works. For what I use it for it simply does not work practically. I'd rather not have to hook up my Miller Maxstar 150 STH to weld certain things if my everlast is already hooked up.

For the kind of stuff I weld using pulse with a foot pedal is a extremely common and a very nice feature; almost necessary. I do alot of butt welds on thin wall mandrel bent exhaust piping with no gap so very little filler added (only as necessary). The piping is for turbocharger kits and the welds must look good. Running a pulse lets you keep the puddle very mild during the background current setting and allows it to wash in and fuse during the pulse. This greatly increases heat control and weld appearance. Using the foot pedal is necessary because the inside and outside of the mandrel bends vary greatly in thickness due to the metal stretching and shrinking of the mandrel bending process.

The thirty day limitation policy does not apply to trade ups, but a 20% restocking surcharge is in force, since the unit is functioning properly and is open for 6 months. The unit must be sold as used/demo if returned since it is functioning properly.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Doesn't the 30 trade up policy give you the option of trading your machine for a higher model and paying the price difference within the first 30 days?

If I would have known how the 200dx pulser works vs the 225lx, I would have bought the 225lx from the get go.
