First time posting on this forum, been poking around for awhile though. I have been in the welding industry for many years, but just in the last 3-4 have I really started doing sizable side projects on my own. I currently have a Miller 175 mig and a Lincoln AC/DC 175 squarewave tig. I do a large amount of automotive fabrication. I've started doing roll cage installs, tube chassis mods, manifolds etc. The Lincoln has served me pretty well, but it is really lacking in adjustment. over the last year I have had an increase in requests for aluminum fab. Being a stickler of my work, I'm capable of doing basic stuff, but am not happy with the performance my machine puts out due to its severe lack of adjustment.

I'm going to be starting a small side business as I have gained more attention to my abilities. If I'm going to provide a full range of welding capabilities I want a machine that can give me the results I desire. I have been looking at some of the 200 amp models of Everlast tigs:
  • 200DX
  • 210EXT
  • 225LX
  • 250EX


I hadn't heard of Everlast until this past summer, Give me your input, convince me why I should jump ship.

One last questions, I have spent quite a bit of money on my current tig torch, its a WeldCraft WP-17 with an assortment of pyrex and #14 and #18 cups from toxicfab. Can this rig be adapted to these machines? Not a make or break deal, but it would be pretty cool if I could use it.


Thanks,

Look forward to hearing your comments.
