Buy the Powertig 200dx or save for The Dynasty 200dx

[AfroPaul]

I have an Everlast PT 200DX and love it. I have been doing some welding for a local machinist using his Dynasty
and have to say that I find the Everlast has a nicer arc in AC welding aluminum. Can't comment on the DC side
as I've only ran the Dynasty on AC. I also like the analog controls of the PT. No menu searching. Plus, with digital,
IMHO is just one more thing that can screw up on you.

Some guys complain about the Everlast's fan being on all the time. I say, "are you serious"? Compared to all the other
noises going on in a shop, that's nothing. It's not that loud. Remember, the cooler your welder is the longer it'll last.

In short, it's a solid machine.

Thanks rake. I think I might take the plunge. I'm going to have them quote out a PT 200dx with the torch I want and the nicer SSC footpedal.

Todd,

You can order the CK items through Everlast as well, we are a reseller.

FYI, I was a Miller (welding side) and Lincoln (plasma side) guy for years. The red machine died and price to fix it was $200 less than buying a new one. And the price was just way up there. I ended up chancing Everlast many many years ago. Now, all green and never looked back.

Also, don't think the other colors are all made here in the USA. Also, when the plasma died, I was able to drop it off at Praxair, but they had to send it in for repair.

I talked to my LWS today, and I guess things have changed. It seems most of the time the machine has to be shipped back for repair no matter what the color.
Thanks - Todd.

I have had mine for 6 months now and yup its still working great! I just made a custom muffler for my rc airplane its not easy to weld very thing stuff so its not as pretty as I would like it but I don't do this for a living nor want to weld for days till its pretty.

Good luck with your purchase, for less than half the cost, you can get all the supply you need!
