    I did that. I have it set in the hidden menu option 8 now to 1. It now lets me select 4T mode. It does not let me use the rolling knob to change the current. Do you think my 210EXT is bad for the torch Everlast sent me is bad?

    Does the torch function in 2T with the amp control? You should try it again. How are you using it exactly? How are you determining it is not working? What are your 4T settings? IIRC, it will not allow the torch to control the amps below the start (or end?) current? I'll have to check that aspect as I set it for low current for 4T starting/ending amps. If it allows you to set it to 4T with 01, that part is correct. But slope should block the current adjustment feature until it slopes up to the determined amp setting on the torch. There is a possibility too that the torch knob responds more slowly according to the slope setting. (Will have to test several settings, but the unit I have works with the knob in 4T.

    Everlast has a different view of 2T and 4T then I do. This is what I expect.

    With 2T I would expect that I would have to hold the button the entire time and adjust the amps with another finger? Is that correct? This seems very difficult and I have not tried it.

    With 4T after I release the button I should be able to adjust the amps up or down using the rolling knob. Is this your view? It is not working on my unit.

    Try it. An inexperienced person may have difficulty... I don't have an issue personally. But it's easy enough to test by holding your finger on the button, and create a steady arc a fairly low amperage on a piece of metal, say 50 amps or so, not enough to melt it, and reach across and adjust the knob with the other. Or just hold it in your right hand while holding an arc and adjust it. YOU have tried it while welding correct? Don't look at the machine, look at the arc. Does the intensity change?

    But as usual here, you have not directly answered my questions. Your chart is immaterial, and you've not given me the answers to the questions I provided.

    Please post your direct questions and I will answer them. If those views of 2T and 4T are 1000% wrong please post how Everlast views 2T and 4T so we are on the same page.

    You claim in 2T mode this is possible. As soon as you release the button it stops, so you have to have one finger on the button at all times in 2T mode. This seems crazy to me as a right handed person, along with 90% of the right handed people in the world. Are you saying you push the button with my thumb and somehow use one of the other fingers to turn the knob? Please post a YouTube video of you doing this? This seems close to impossible.

    What finger turns the knob? Middle finger? Ringer finger? or the pinky?

    Again, it takes practice just like feeding rod. I use a reverse grip in many places, and at 6'2", my hand is large enough to grip and hold whatever I want. Thumb on switch, Index or middle on the knob. Or, a fore hand grip thumb/hand on switch, index or middle rolling the knob. Even if you cannot master it, you can hold the torch in one hand and steady/brace yourself, and turn the knob with the other hand well enough to determine if the pot is working in 2T.

    As for the discussion of the chart, that is irrelevant. We've already discussed ad nauseum how this works. Stop being foolish and wasting my time and everyone's time for that matter by NOT playing the same game over and over. I put question marks after my questions which is customary in the English language. I asked you 7 direct questions above. Those are as direct as they can be. I need your settings on each part of the weld cycle to duplicate it and figure out what is going right/wrong and how you are determining the arc or amps do not change. In other words, give full and complete details on how you are attempting to set the torch up, and what amps/time and flow you are using as well as AC or DC etc. Tell me what you observe when you are doing all that. All those come into play if you are trying to trouble shoot it.

    So you are saying that my 210EXT will not work in 4T mode using the Everlast Torch that was include with my unit with the ability to start the ARC with the button and release and control it using the variable knob after that? You obviously work for Everlast.

    I will be glad to answer all of them. Post them!!!! I will show video of each of them not working on my EXT210. My only issue is most of what I post here gets deleted.

    Just went out to take a picture to show you how "impossible" you are being. What I suggested is not impossible at all, and works fine...once again, I submit proof. First the reverse grip, Second the fore hand grip...and if that doesn't suit you, you can always put a 1/4 turn (or more) twist on the head by rotating it in the handle and "turn" the torch so handle rests differently while you are welding.

    When I use the pedal to change the amperage it shows the current amperage on the 210EXT. When I use the knob it does not seem to change the amperage. Should it?
