No bevel. As shown, the assembly is upside down and will socket into a mast that is slotted to receive it. YES! I nearly always pre-heat anything over 1/4" for starters. I did not time the welds but I did not 'go for it' and stopped in between. No weld was over 6" long. 23V and 230 rat bites per min. on the wire.
I'm curious as to how the machine in its 'stock mode' shuts itself off; does the weld current circuit open or the wire circuit? I can't imagine it being the wire unless the protection does not work in stick or TIG mode THAT IS if you just dead-shorted it by say, mashing the electrode into the work? Everlast doesn't have to worry, I wouldn't think of making any sort of claim should it fry but I don't really expect an answer that is understandable, either. Maybe if I hooked up my Tweco rod holder and ground to the machine it would be confused and not tilt? Must be something magical at work somewhere?
So zoama, as I sniff around this site I've caught whiff of a catalogue that 'is for industrial users' but for the life of me I can't find it. Is that some urban Everlast legend or is it real but not for the unwashed?
