I ended up being able to get the Power I-Mig275S and the Power TIG 250EX. THanks for the input!

Order doesn't matter much. Its just like MIG welding... Some people are gonna say push, others are gonna say pull. But in the end either works. I've always gone left to right and it works for me.

Headers are their own ball game in and of themselves. Very clean job and good video too.

I was just told about AHP machines as well... I could get the AHP200X for about 800 shipped to my door. And that is an AC/DC machine which would leave me money to get a MIG from the as well. Does anybody have any experience with AHP? It doesn't have as many bells and whistles as the Everlast ones bu...

TIG high speed pulse on stainless is very nice to have. Esp for controlling heat input. Not really necessary on most MIG. I would recommend getting a dedicated AC/DC TIG welder do you can do.aluminum TIG, then get a separate dual voltage MIG welder. My recommendation would be an AHP200x TIG and a T...

I've used pulse when building up the edges on holes through plate metal to relocate the location of the shaft going through. I have done this on a chop saw to get it to cut square and on a bolt hole on a tractor. Can you expand a little? Im not quite following you. For a buildup wouldn't you just b...

Thanks

I like using mine for outside corner joints on thin aluminum. I've also used it when I was welding a big aluminum piece that was a dirty cast crap shoot. To beautify it I set it to .7pps and low frequency, and it reshaped the ugly beads nicely. You can do the same with a pedal but not this consiste...

Thank you!

What kind of side jobs are you performing. If you are doing really thin material than you may want to go with the pulse or if you're doing a lot of overhead welding or vertical. If you are doing mostly thicker materials (1/8 and above) than you can probably save your $200. It may be a good investme...

Any chance you can show us how you did the steering? I know you said all you do is tilt the push handle but can you show us how that works??? Thanks!!

Usually the temperature point that a fan switches on at isn't all that high. Its easier for a fan to keep the machine cool than it is for a fan to cool down a hot machine. Plus its better on the machine if it never gets super heated up. I would say our machine is probably just fine as long as the fa...

Hey all I'm from northern CA but am currently stationed in Yuma, Az. Been welding since I was a kid. My garage was recently broken in to and all three of my welders stolen so I'm currently in the process of replacing them (I have another post asking for advice between two different machines). I'm re...

Hi all, I'm new to the forum but not necessarily new to welding. I'm in the market for a new welder since mine were stolen when my garage was broken into. So I've narrowed it down to two choices. Everlast PowerMTS250S ($1500) or the Everlast PowerMTS251SI ($1700). Basically the only real difference ...
