I noticed some activity on the forum here pertaining to the i-Tig-201, so I thought I would chime in. I purchased my i-Tig-201 in Nov 2016 mainly for antique/classic car sheet metal. I had not been having much success with MIG and associated burn thru, tall welds requiring a lot of grinding, and brittle welds. My new tig machine solved my problems beautifully – after a lot of welding videos and practice. I have also used it for 6011 stick welding with no problems.

Right after receiving my i-Tig-201, the on/off switch on the back failed in the “on” position. I contacted Everlast and they sent me a new switch. After a few on/off cycles, it also failed in the “on” position. Since then, I have just been using my 220 V circuit breaker switch in my garage panel to turn the machine on and off.

The discussion on garage wiring concerns me a little. Should I pull the panel off my circuit breaker box and check to make sure “red wire is connected to white wire”? I have noticed some weird noises from my radio while welding. Is this normal? Mark?
