[christian]

Yeah,

I just noticed this YouTube video demo.

And that new LCD screen looks very good.

ROCK ON, Everlast!

Saw the review as well, and I'm glad to see Everlast keeps innovating their product line... and the gadget geek in me is cursing that I didn't know about the 275 before I bought the 252 last month! Aaaagh! Oh well, I'm still a happy camper.

[christian]

Nah,

That 252Sti seems to have all of the same functionality and features of the 275, just without the LCD screen.

And the 252 is somewhat more compact, and less costly, too.

All three of the new Everlast AC/DC "all-in-one" units are brilliant, and a tremendous value, in my opinion.

There are a few nice surprises in the 275 though. Added features not on the 252, that added value and capability to the machine.

I pre-ordered mine about a month ago. They are suppose to be shipping by the end of December. Is there any way to get a users handbook of the MTS 275 so I can familiarize myself with the menu system and the machine?

[performance]

Not yet. We are still finalizing the programming.

OK,

Here's a follow-up video by Weld.com on the Stick capability of the new Lightning 275.

Weld.com has been using the heck out the Lightning 275 on many of their videos and projects.

They'll undoubtedly get around to the MIG demo part before long, I'm guessing.

Will the MTS275 have both AC and DC stick welding?

[performance]

No. AC stick welding is of limited value. It's history comes from transformer machines which were AC before they were DC. Sometimes people point to "arc blow" for reason not wanting DC. Arc blow is very rare and it can be combated several different ways in DC.
