Everlast 210EXT review and pictures

[Rodsmachineshop]

What Amazes me is how well made the everlast welders are made . looking at the circuity boards in this unit looks like they did not cut corner notice had large capacitors and they are using over kill resisters which is good . I have the 250 tig and there plasma cutter . there very well made machines , what is good about the everlast company they take care of you , Had miller tig and it was act of god to get them to help you when something broke . With everlast there rite there to help when something go wrong . there honestly the only company i will buy welding stuff from now on , since of there great service

Another nice thing is all the boards are potted, they have a clear sealant on them for protection.

By looking at the pictures of this unit, I am thoroughly impressed. All the component locations look well thought out and the wiring is nice and neat inside. It looks to be a very well built machine and of top quality. I'm really liking the gap-less HF as well. I'm still in the "saving money" stage of my welder purchase and I was looking forward to purchasing a 250EX but now I think I'm going to have to consider this 210EXT as a possibility as well. I'll just have to decide whether or not I'll need the extra 40 amps or not. Could somebody post up the full specs on this unit. Such as the duty-cycle at the full 210Amps and at what amperage the unit will run at 100% duty-cycle. Also do you know what the final price will be once this unit is in full production? Thanks.

Hello Brad

Retail price on this unit will be 1799$ we will introduce pre order price as well ONCE we know units on sea so wait will not be long.
Full specs will be posted in few weeks on our site and I will post it here as well. This unit is definitely a WINNER

I'll post some pictures of the tags on both units later today. I don't have the printed specs on either unit.

So the PowerTig 250EXT is using these four channel Infineon BTS5440G chips encased inside those black IBGT power modules at the bottom of the unit?

No, that's not an IGBT.
It's the white blocks under the green circuit boards.

Ah ha... only two white blocks.
I wonder how many Infineon chips are inside those.

He may have seen them here.

Was this 250EXT listed on the website and later taken down due to an issue? I am currious if all the info on the website is up to date?

[X83]

Are the IGBT modules manufactured by International Rectifier the same for the 210EXT & 250EXT units?

No, the 250EXT uses infineon.

5440

Well, that's definitely making a pretty strong statement from the Canadians. I'll let them defend it. I'd say though, it's probably a little overreaching,unless a high helium blend is used... and for the 1/4" stick electrode, I just don't think it's realistic for a solid, stable arc.

Yes I thought those specs on the Can site were a little on the high side. The 210EXT looks like a decent machine but so far I'm content with my 250EX for now.

I think the 250ex is the best tig welder you can buy , have use helium with it also some times when welding thick aluminum head puts out some real heat . had my Denise my friend stop by at the shop he owns a welding shop and he used my 250 to see how it welds , he liked it better than his miller

We are having a bit of a problem with the Web people and getting the conversion from Metric to imperial . In fact if you have a look now you will see it is showing 1/16" max weld.
I would just as soon leave this blank for now as i will be working on the Owners Manual at the factory in a couple of weeks .

And Zoama there you go again with the Speculating hmmm.

Just an update on the 210ext, there was a very small glitch in the programming due to our 60hz power ( this was not found or diagnosed by me ), They shipped another welder with the modified programming and it has been working great. I did switch to a 17 torch, just because I like the regular round handled torches, but over all, it's been a good welder.

You get used to these digital welders real fast, I went to our other shop and was using the 250EX that we have there, and even though its a great welder, it felt strange to not have digital settings.

No, the 250EXT uses infineon.

I didn't know you had a store in Vancouver, BC? The reason I say this is whom ever placed that add is high as a kite on BC Bud!! That dog won't hunt!
