Everlast 210EXT review and pictures

[JimMinKent]

So does the production 210EXT 's front bezel (not the control panel area but lower down) look like the image on the 210EXT product page, or does it look Todd's and Jody's machines? If Big Paulie's picture went a little lower, I'd have my answer. I do like the looks of the machine on the product page.

It's the production unit.

Mark, thanks but your answer is not clear. I'll ask this a different way, "if I buy a new 210EXT, what will it look like?". The two possible answers are "Like Todd and Jody's." OR "Like the 210EXT Product page." No fair answering with "Yes".

The product page picture is the production unit and is the one Paulie appears to have

here you go. Notice the empty wine bottle used for size comparison. (ok, maybe it was used for something else earlier).

Seriously, although this one has an issue that will be replaced, I am able to navigate/play with the menus, and they are quite intuitive and usable.

My deciding points were:

Most of my aluminum TIG work will be thin, so the 1/4" capacity is not an issue. I have a TIG and Spoolgun for big stuff, it is not like I will be TIG welding a trailer.

Price point was the same as the 225LX and required cooler, or almost the same as the 250EX and Cooler.

I can tell from the videos, how much noise the 250EX makes, and this is a fraction. (Tradeoff is 40% vs 100% duty cycle at 200amps). This box is seriously quiet.

I wanted the wave form and advanced pulse for thin aluminum (radiators, sheet metal, etc).

210EXT has solid state HF vs, mechanical point gap as in the 200-250 series.

at 40lbs and 30amp circuit, is a little more practical for portability.

If I were looking for an industrial strength tool, for professional or heavy duty, I would have gone with the 250EX, but I am using it more as a hobbiest, or fabricating for cars, motorcycles, etc.

Thanks for the info men. This is actually a little different than either of the other two cases. Looks good. Can't wait to see the final 255EXT to complete the digital lineup

No, its the same design. They added an extra vent in the final production phase. Everything else is the same.

I am amazed how much power there is in such a small package. (No not referring to the wine bottle... if it were 151 that would be another story...)

I am surprised we do not here more about the 210 EXT. This machine looks good with a lot of features. Duty cycle is a little lower than other Everlast equipment, but still comparable to the miller 200 amp AC/DC machine.

Love my 210ext

Can someone help me verify these are the default settings of the 210EXT. I took a welding class with a Lincoln V205T and would like to make sure I can set everything back to defaults.



You can not set the start and end Amp Range in 2T mode. You have to put it in 4T mode. I read others that claim if you set these values in 4T mode it stay active in 2T mode. It might be a bug or a feature. I will try the unit but can someone verify this?

First, the unit is not set with defaults. The unit is set with whatever the person testing the unit did last...that is it.
Second, there are several different program versions out there, some feature it working one way and then other feature it working the other.

As far as the settings you have, I am not sure what you are doing so it is hard to tell what the settings need to be.

I fully understand that all those setting will change based on what you are doing. I am just curios what the default settings are. Lincoln publishes the default settings and hidden menu settings in their manual. I can post pics.

On the Lincoln V205T you can set the start and finish current in 2T mode. My 210EXT does not allow this. I read others can set them in 4T mode and they work in 2T mode. Is this true?
