If you disconnect the Tig torch, does the same thing happen? It sounds like a short circuit. I found the manual online. If it doesn't help, give Duncan or Jean a call 905-637-1637. http://www.everlastgenerators.com/sites/everlastgenerators/files/downloads/PowerTIG%20250EX%202016.pdf EVERLAST WELDER...

Is the machine grounded? Go through and check to make sure all the connections are right. Also check the crimps on the gas lines. I had to tighten those for minor gas leaks from the factory. Soap all the gas connections. If all else fails give Everlast a call. They have been very responsive when I ...

So I was hoping to use my powertig 250ex today (first time ever using it or turning it on) but when I go to do so, the front panel on the machine lights up and the temp light and current light are on, and the machine won't work, has anyone else had this issue? Didn't find anything about it in the ma...

Not very familiar with excel to be honest, but would it be possible to have a 'enter your country/province/city/region ( whatever) option onto this for us fellows living outside of the united states of America?

Why on some machines, especially mig, does it have a digital display and an accurate readout but some have a number dial 1-10. A millermatic 252 has the digital but the 211 has the 1-10 settings. I find it is very difficult to set the machine especially using the Miller app. Why is it like bat and ...

I recently put a 220 dryer plug on my AC stick welder and it keeps tripping the breaker. The dryer (and stove) receptical is a 3 prong with 2 hot and a neutral. The welder is 2 hot and a ground. When hooking up the dryer plug, I hooked ground to neutral thinking that it was a ground. Are they compa...

Adjust your headgear and/or stop (or remove it and just use tension). Depends where you work, overzealous safety officer may take issue with a modified hood if you cut on it. Tried that, at the moment it hits my throat when I do flat, all other positions are fine. If I adjust so it doesn't hit my t...

Apologies in advance if I'm under the wrong forum thread but it's the closest thread that seems to fit this post. So I got a Honeywell fibre metal 110pwe. And I find that to weld on flat position the bottom of the hood doesnt allow me to put it as far down as I'd like. I've seen many people (I.e fie...

Knowing what you will be welding would be helpful if you're looking for tig welder recommendations/advice, I personally went with the everlasting powetig 250 for 1,950$ cad. Haven't used it yet though.waiting on the 220 power to be put in, if it's a welder your thinking of getting let me know, and I...

You can do "scratch start" with any torch you have... Just don't hook up the remote (pedal or switch), and set the machine in the appropriate mode. My Everlast Power iMIG200, for example, has a MMA/TIG setting (which I've only used for stick, so far) that will permit scratch-start, and it...

what work do you do that would necessitate scratch start? If that question does not apply, then why do you think you need scratch start? fair point, just thought it would be good to have to practice with it, i probably wont be doing work by myself for the next year or so, so i guess if the time com...

so, i just got my powertig 250ex today, it arrived, and it comes with a water cooled torch equipped with a torch switch, which i assume i can not plug in the torch and use my pedal on so its 2 in 1 (kind of), but my question is should i just keep that one for all uses, foot pedal and torch switch? o...

Just thinking, but it might be cheaper to have someone near a Metal Supermarket down here in the USA to ship you some remnants in a box, and declare them as "scrap metal" or something similar for customs. Useful scrap, but still scrap... That, and the fun fact that you can pack anything i...

If I understand correctly, the silicon bronze on the face of the hammer provides a "soft" striking surface to avoid leaving hammer strike marks, for instance. Correct? So if that's the case, then the hammer beneath the bronze is just the delivery mechanism, and carbon steel is likely the ...

I wear contacts for astigmatism and +1.25-1.50 to read at a normal distance (12-14 inches). Fcaw with #10 fixed shade was almost impossible to see. Went to #9 gold and HOLY COW! I was blind but now I see! Just sayin'..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk everyones eyes are different, but i use sh...

New guy, first post here. This subject is why I registered on the board. Hobby welding straight flux core, for a couple of years now. I have trouble keeping the weld where I want it to go. For boat trailers and mowers not to big of a problem. So now I decided to restore an older racing go kart from...

hey, thought id throw in my two cents as im currently just passed the phase you're going through right now, bought all my rods for my new welder last week. for stick i'd say you cant go wrong with 7018 and 6011, and as someone previously said, 6013 can come in handy for thinner stuff, as for tig i s...

im planning on making 3 hammers, and 2 for other people. i want to do as jody did, 1 with a soft surface (probably silicon bronze) and ill also use the same dimensions, the 1" round stock for handle and 2" for the head of the hammer, so my question as you can see in the title, is what shou...

my biggest challenge in tig or mig is poor visibility. I have tried to run a straight bead and cant see what i'm doing. The welding videos views are what I'd like to see but it isn't happening. CAN'T SEE = CAN'T WELD ARgggghhhh!!! doing FCAW right now in school, loving it, if you're pulling when do...

Today my good friend is your good fortune! I have the exact tip you desire for your metal working endeavors. I am also a Barrister from the town of Pupe Nigeria, and as good fortune would have it the manufacturers of these miracle tips is located right here in Pupe! The good news is the tips are on...

do you think a pipe would look as nice? if i cover both ends with a plate, tig weld them then grind it smooth, would it be a good idea instead of the round stock?

thanks

What I would look for if you were my student: Consistency, within each stringer and from stringer to stringer. Filling in the crater at the end. Strong start, restart and ends, with that said- Do at least one, preferably two stop/starts within each stringer. I know that most people don't teach it, ...

Ok. I was under the impression that a rod had to have ac after the number like 7018ac to run alternating current. Like I said earlier, I learned bare basics when i got the machine (which i love). This is why I joined this forum, to learn more. also, there are some good and bad about each polarity, ...

The cathodic etching IS THE CLEANING ACTION. See how it looks like there is a double row of welds on the tube to the left side of the image? That's exactly what I thought it was until he pointed out that it was a reflection. Whoever did this is pretty much the Master Jedi of aluminum tig welding an...
