Re: Everlast powertig 250ex vs HTP invertig 221
If you happen to call HTP an hour before they open or on a Sunday, the owner Jeff Noland will likely answer the phone and do whatever he can to help you out.

Re: Everlast Tig Cooler
Their cooler looks to be the same one HTP sells. I have the HTP branded unit, never had an issue with it other than it's a bit loud.

Re: How the hell is everybody?!
Wife is fine, thanks for asking. I have friends working on patching two bikes up so she can ride at the season ending pig roast. The plan is for me to take a parade lap as well.

Re: How the hell is everybody?!
Wife and I were at the track. She low sided right in front of me. I did all I could not to run her over. I missed her but nailed her bike which sent me skyward. Collar bone broke in two places. The surgeon said it was the worst he's ever seen. It took a large plate, ten screws, and two and a half ho...

Re: Lincoln Precision tig 185 or Hobart EZ tig 165
As a general rule, inverters have the ability to allow more adjustment over the arc than a typical transformer (there are many exceptions). The Miller Diversion/Hobart EZ Tig is one note able exception. It should be capable of stick welding but it isn't. The torch is hard wired and not easily swappe...

Re: Lincoln Precision tig 185 or Hobart EZ tig 165
The EZ Tig has NO adjustments other than amperage, and a switch for aluminum / steel. Stay with your PT185. It is also a simplified machine compared to most but more capable than the EZ Tig.

Re: CKworldwide MT200
Have a look at the Razorweld ac/dc200. Razorweld makes the CK machine. I have one of these units and like it very well. It's not quite as awesome as my HTP 221 bit it is a thousand dollars less expensive.

Re: 220 volts from two 110 volt extension cords ?
Technically it "works". There are several problems with it in actual practice though. The breakers for each hot leg will not bother trip at the same time in event of a fault. In a residential setting, you're talking about pairing two 15 amp circuits, you're still only going to get 15 amps ...

Re: Stick welders
DON'T buy a 120 volt only machine! Get dual voltage. The little bit extra you spend now will be well worth it when you move to a place that has 220 service. Esab 161 can be had for less than $500, AHP 160 for half that. Both are dual voltage machines. The Esab will burn 6010 very well, the AHP, not ...

Re: Need to pass AWS test.
Thanks in advance for condolences and such. Let's just keep this thread free of that. She was sick for almost a year and bedridden for the last few months. Her passing was the best possible outcome given her situation.

Don't make it a habit. You can easily toast the torch lead and the torch. In your case, you should be ok.
