Poor weld quality on my 200DX. Need help.

If you look to the right where there is light it looks ok. But a straight on look does looks that way.

We have come a lot way from the title of this thread. Guess the machine is working...

Looking good. Nice cup walking. Hard to tell from the picture angle, but maybe add just a little more filler. Looks like a bit of undercutting on the top, but it could just be the camera angle, because the bottom looks perfect.

Thanks! I need to get some larger cups before I can add anymore filler. I didn't look very close at them before painting and installing them on my Jeep, but I don't think it had very much undercut or any at all.

The machine is working great now. It's just very different from the Syncrowave I'm used too.

What is so different in DC mode?
Do you have the older version 200dx without the panel amp control?

It's just a different machine. Pedals different, torch is different, etc. Just something I need to get used to.

Hopefully this thread catches the eye of someone else that had the same troubles as me, and helps them out. I meant no disgrace by it.

As I read different things on the forum on bad welding problems it usually the operator not the machine. Over the years I have set up machine that the operator said it was junk Tig, Mig and Stick welders and made fairly nice welds with them for what the welder was designed for. Inexpensive ones and expensive ones. I have made bad welds to find out it to be bad gas, gas flow, dirt, rod type, tungsten type, wire type, hydro problems and many other thing but not the welders. Usually the welders work or not.

Only in Canada does the word "hydro" mean electrical.

GOOD ONE We say hydro is manmade and electrical could be anything but it does the same thing.

The OP should change the title to Great instead of Poor. Those welds look pretty good at this point to me.

On the bright side Oleg … it gets people to look at it and the situation is quickly resolved … but I understand your point ... at least he ends the title with “is it me?” … That’s usually the case because the products Everlast makes are awesome units.

The "or is it me" was added as it was him. Look at his welds now.

I don't think a title change was really in order, I wasn't bashing the machine or the company at all. I was simply stating the problem I was having in the title. I even said I was impressed by it when I opened it.
