Buy the Powertig 200dx or save for The Dynasty 200dx

As far as my welds look, I see no difference with welds with a CK torch than what came with the machine. Sure the stock is bulkier than the CK (superflex cable).

A nicer torch is for comfort and convenience... not exactly the same argument.

Maybe Everlast should ask Miller who they use to courier machines?
that might put an end to new purchases arriving faulty?

I think this is the case where UPS does a decent job the majority of the time but on the rare occasion when they do decide to damage a product while delivering it, they do it in spectacular fashion. People who get their Everlast equipment in perfect condition are usually pretty excited and the majority usually don't have time to let anyone else know. Those who have had the gorillas work over their package are usually pretty vocal and quick about it!

Miller machines are usually purchased locally from a dealer hence the huge markup. My 2013 250 EX arrived in perfect shape.

I might as well state that nothing I've ordered from Everlast has arrived damaged either. Each time something is shipped, I'm still as nervous as a first time dad expecting a baby though.

My PT 200 DX arrived in perfect shape. Even the box was intact.

i cant say much for the everlast 200 or the miller 200 ,but i have a 250 ex at home and use a miller aerowave at work and for the price you cannot beat the everlast ,have made around 6500-7000 cash from welding aluminum intercooler tanks and support is also pretty good too .

Is the warranty transferable? If I buy a used PT that's less than 2 months old?
Thanks - Todd.

IMHO, it is not the Everlast 200DX vs the Miller Dynasty. A more accurate comparison would be the Everlast 210EXT, which is also microprocessor based, and comparable waveform features. Also, still about 50% the price of the Miller. I had a 210EXT for a while, and compared it to the Lincoln Versatec 205, and I would definitely go with the Everlast. Consider the warranty, and the speed of exchange if needed. The 200DX is a fine machine, and for capacity is easily compared to the Dynasty, at 1/3 to 1/4 the cost! Don't worry about gig torches, as you will probably upgrade or buy a couple, and the cost for a couple of CKs is still a rounding error, compared to the Miller Dynasty markup. BTW, in my experience, FedEx Ground usually does a better job of handling than UPS.

Nice welds... lpm is about half of cfh.

Really nice beads! It's pretty obvious the PowerTig 200DX is a great welder but man does it shine in the hands of someone with some serious skill.

i kept my old regulator off my 185, which is in "lpm". i currently switch back to it.

the new regulator that came in the 2013 model 200dx came in a "SCFM" which i couldnt find online a conversion to set to "lpm" or "cfm"

no serious skills here, i started holding a tig torch just last year with the mirco185.

SCFM is going to be so close to CFM that you can use them interchangeably for this application. Adjust flow to get the desired result and note the offset.

Nice welds!!

I also bought the Everlast 200DX and I LOVE it. I am a beginner tig welder. Bought CK torch, but to be honest, I like the switch on the handle so I still use the stock torch most of the time.


I've had no issues with the Everlast company or how I've been treated, good products and service.

very nice beads on the aluminum tank you did..what is it?
