250 ex Arc starting

[trackmaster]

Hey all I just felt like i needed to post this, as i raced right past the issue on to welding things. But in regard to point gaps and arc starting, my unit was PERFECT right out of the box. Just use a second or so pre flow on the argon, and the arc just "kisses" the metal! Nice and positive, but gentle at the same time, perfect for thin stuff. Nice work Everlast!

Good to hear lou ,
The 250 EX is a nice welder, I have the 256 and if it has to go out the door then I will be getting the 250EX and a seperate plasma cutter, But like you said it does have a nice smooth arc on both DC and AC..
Gotta love the Everlast Welders. They definatly are picking up in the market place. I am trying like crazy to convert a few shops down here to give one a try for a week , and see if they dont switch over.

Right on Gary, me too! I'm sick of people bashing anything made by the "C" word without researching and trying first. Of course there is still, and probably will always be, the CHEAPO JUNK availible. But more and more you see REAL QUALITY coming over. I discovered this in a brief foray into high end Flashlights. Yes there is a whole world of flashlight geeks out there! Anyway, same in that industry, ..... there is a ton of cheapo crap if you want, but as well there are some companies producing some INTENSE compitition for the high end market, at far more affordible prices. Wolf Eyes is one of those companies in that arena.

As important, you can't match the attention to customer concerns, issues, etc. Whether it be general questions or problems, from the Everlast folks! And if I may say, I have not exactly been bashful about voicing any concerns or issues i may have had. So to any nay say'rs that wonder if everybody is on the "take" here, .... forget about it! I call it the way i see it, and i dig this company good and bad. Because they're listening, looking, researching and developing, and most importantly, producing!

I realize this is an old post but I just came across it and had a little bit to add.

Here's something anyone can do:

This is Lincoln's quarterly SEC filing. You can find out a lot about the machines your buying just by doing a little research. When you get through reading this you will be happy that you discovered Everlast.

Theres a ton of info in the SEC filings... Soooo don't argue, just know when someone tells you different...
