My 200DX is 6 months old

[rake]

Well guys, as the title says it's been with me 6 months and has worked flawlessly!
The only thing I've done to this thing is add some rubber padding to the bottom of the pedal
to keep it from sliding under foot. Shop floor is epoxied and quite slick!

I love this machine! Really worth every penny!

Thanks Guys!

Well ,,Happy Birthday to your machine,,,Thing is,,,,if you like your machine and have faith in it,,,you will do well...that is also true of rifles,,,and other things,,,A fellow who has no faith in either won't do or hit anything with them...

At first I thought this was going to be a negative thread...Glad to see it isn't.

My 200DX is 28months old this month :-)

Yeah, I got hooked up with a guy that repairs restaurant equipment so I've been doing a good bit of stainless and some aluminum with it. The shop smells of old french-fries and stale fish but it pays well! LMAO!

Glad to hear you are pleased with your welder. I just received my 200DX this past week, but still have to do some wiring, so have not tried it yet. Positive feedback is always good to hear.

RusT1,
Keep in mind that the clause in the warranty contract is that you are to test out the machine as soon as you receive it (within 48 hours or so) and report any problems. Wiring considerations are something that we cannot control on our end for you, and any damage, or malfunction from shipping cannot be reported to UPS and then that damage is on your hands. Your 30 day satisfaction policy is ticking by. If you are fine with that that's ok, but just did not want you to overlook it or be unaware of it.

I also agree that it is nice to see a positive thread. Often times the only threads created like this are negative which paints a false image of product.

Don't forget this is a support forum. So normally people with issue will come here. The many, many welders out there working fine you will probably never see them here .

Thanks Mark for reminding me of that. That part of the transaction has slipped my mind.

I was reviewing a few pictures of the tragic UPS plane crash and swore I saw a box looking like Everlast in the litter. Wrapped up and packaged the same anyway...so that's a good reason to investigate, as I am sure UPS has tried to salvage as many strewn packages as possible...the rest will go to surplus I am sure if insurance is paid out on it.

I always figured that good news is as important as bad news.

Mark, I after reading your Post, I got off my butt and went and finished the wiring. Turned the machine on and ran with no
problem. So I decided to start welding something ....anything ! I looked and looked just trying to find a piece of scrap anything.....nothing. I finally an old splitting maul that I had welded a metal handle in 20 or so years ago. So I grabbed
it and hooked the ground up an grabbed some 6011 rods I just bought and ran a few beads around the old welds on the splitter. The 200dx may not run the 6010, but the 6011 ran great.
I got some of the 7018 and ran a few more passes with it. It ran smooth and evenly. I was grining all over myself. I haven't pick up an argon bottle yet, so have not tried the TIG. I hope get a bottle tomorrow or early next week. I can't wait to get started to what all this can machine do. Also try to find Something that I can do some welding on! I was so excited about getting the welder that I did not ever cross my mind about having something to weld on. I guess I should have gotten a few things together before I ever ordered the welder. But hell, I wanted to get it so bad I just wasn't thinking. I hope I run the 200dx through All its paces within the next few days.
Thanks again Mark for giving me a reminder. And as you said "Time is Ticking" .

Thanks
