$1900 Everlast 315LX TIG Unit Has 100% Duty Cycle @ 250amps
Yeah,
I’m noticing how other welding forums are still wandering in proverbial darkness or ignorance when it comes how Everlast units put others to shame in their superior duty-cycles and pricing values.
Here’s some text of someone seeking advice elsewhere (where I'm permanently banned) on a potent TIG unit with a high duty-cycle:
—————————————
“I am looking for a TIG machine mainly to weld aluminum.
We have only $5000 we can spend on the unit, that's with tax, shipping, etc. We can purchase all the accessory separately on a different PR.
“Can anyone recommend me a good machine minimum 220A with 80-100% duty I would appreciate it!
“thank you”
—————————————
And the responses are like the blind trying to lead the naive:
"80 -100% duty cycle?
A Dynasty 700 would make a great 100% duty cycle 350 amp unit.
A new unit with a 220 amp output with 80 -100% duty cycle doesn't exist AFAIK."
-------------------
"A Miller Dynasty 400 has a 100% duty cycle at 250A but is beyond your $5K limit new. Either your duty cycle expectation has to lower or your dollar limit has to increase or buy used."
[That's not quite accurate, as the Dynasty 400 is 60% duty-cycle at 250 amps on single-phase power, but on 3-phase power it is rated to 100% duty-cycle at 250 amps.]
------------------
"A little birdie told me that the new HTP Invertig 400 will be able to do quite a bit, when it is released in the near future. It is based off of the Stel Tig uP 453H S AC-DC. Supposedly it will cost less than a brand new Miller Dynasty 280dx, but it does need a phase converter to reach maximum output."
-------------------
I mean, it was proven to me, conclusively, by a Mr.TIG “Duty Cycle Shootout” video, that my own Everlast 210EXT unit is obviously very conservatively rated at 60% duty-cycle on the max amps of 210, since the unit ran at a full 10 minutes with no thermal cut out or time out during the YouTube video.
