Mr. Tig recommended that the stock torch should be replaced with another, 17f. How was your experience with the torch that came with the machine? Thnx

I ordered a 210 EXT last week. can't wait till it shows up! excited

I just got a 210 ext about 2 months ago and without a doubt its a sweet sweet welder.... the tig and stick processes are very nice. if you are looking at either of these machines id say go for it!

Thanks Justin you helped me make my decision. I’m gonna try everlast. I wanted forney 220 but no post pre flow adjustment. I have Lincoln 210mp I bought new 4 years ago for $1400, now they are 2200-2500 crazy increases with Lincoln, the tig200 was about same pricing 1400 years ago now they are 2500 min.

We have an Everlast 235 DPi MIG and it has performed very well for our business. Looking at their TIG to broaden our capabilities.

Excellent job. Great video

Bought a 255EXT about 8 months ago and been pretty happy with it. 1/3rd of the price of my Chinese built Dynasty, better duty cycle and comparable features. Everlast has stepped up the quality of the accessories, the torches, foot pedal and flow meter are actually decent. Is there better, sure, but the stuff Miller included with my Dynasty weren't the best either. I think Everlasts customer service is better, bought direct and they were nice enough to price match without a big hassle. Thinking about getting a MIG and another 255 from them soon. The videos are always great, thanks, enjoy watching them. Even for the type of fab work I'm really familiar with it's always nice to see how someone else does the same thing, always learning!

Just got the 325 EXT. Everlast goes the extra mile. I ordered on the 14th (they were out of stock with none coming for a few months), They pulled some strings and got me the 325 in less than a week FROM CHINA!

The dB volume alert is much appreciated! :-)

The 255ext has a 60% duty cycle at 250amps. 100% duty cycle is at 200 amps.

got myself a PowerPro 236 machine (i think its Australia specific model) ac/dc tig and plasma cutter in 1. love it

Those look like really great welders.

The advanced square wave AC+DC for aluminum welding is awesome. It allows getting good deep penetration like DC welding aluminum but with the cleaning action.

I also want to add, that grounding (to earth), made a huge difference in electrically quieting the shop; a must for nearby CNC equipment.

I had a old everlast 200, there was a board failure from the get go which didn't allow for the pedal to work, trigger button worked fine and it still welded just fine, they had me return it on their dime, and I chose to upgrade to the 225LX, this was in 2011 and that welder was excellent. I ended up selling the welder for more than I paid for it about 6 years later. My newest welder was a song on a facebook buy and is a lincoln squarewave 200 and I miss post flow adjustment and the low amperage starts of the everlast.

Lov my Everlast 252 mts, it has lots of power and lots of futures, one thing i like about this machine is there are very few plastic parts on it, the wire feed mechanism is all cast alumni and steel parts.

Down here(Australia) our 210EXT has all the features of the 255 except the spot and gas purge, my 210 is a couple years old now hasnt skipped a beat so far... I ended up springing for the matching water cooler(W300)and a 25' CK230 torch can hold hold that sucker absolute flat chat indefinitely :)

+Seth Ward Just grab the 210. It won't let you down.

The 210EXT comes with two air cooled torches, a 9 and a 26. The 255EXT comes with one air cooled torch and one water cooled torch, a 9 and a 20. So to use the additional powder you'd need a water cooler or another air cooled torch that was larger. The 255EXT does work with E6010 and the 210EXT does not. To go with the additional power the 255EXT has some additional stick welding features, such as VRD. For most TIG welding, the 210EXT is likely plenty.

I really want to know more about that everlast 255ext welder. That looks like one sweet welder.

Yeah, I've had my 210EXT (2015 model) for nearly three years now and like it well. I especially like that it has the added Triangle waveform for when I'm welding lighter aluminum. The four fans inside the 210EXT, ironically, make it nearly whisper quiet too.

Old 10amp wall plugs here trip out sometimes as its a 15amp plug here, but new outlets that are 10 amp (make up an adapter/grind down the larger earth on the plug like some ppl do) are meant to be rated to 16 amp and i havnt had any trouble on a new circuit.

Good video, I really want a Miller Dynasty for home use. We have 3 different sizes at work and they definitely are great machines, along with all the other blue welders we have. But and this is a big but, I can't justify the cost for having one at home. just to get in at the bottom end is going to cost me about $3,500 dollars. or more haven't checked in a while. Cyber weld is usually the cheapest so that's the pricing I'm using. There other options of course, used Dynasty , but they are hard to come by. Sycro wave, big, power hogs, not as many features. That's the problem with welding with really good equipment it's hard to chose something with less features. Thanks for the review.

I had a Dynasty for years. It was and still is a great machine. I personally can't justify the price anymore. It's too expensive in my opinion for the same thing it has always been. The 255EXT is kind of scary in that is welds better than I remember my Dynasty running. It almost feels wrong to say that, but it's a beast at a fraction of the price.

Yes. Both torches are OEM torches included with the machine. The only thing different is the stubby kit on the 26 torch (not included with the machine). They are actually pretty good torches. I've definitely pushed them well above their ratings and haven't melted them like some of the cheap torches I've used over the years. You can always upgrade if you want though.

Are both of those machines using a air cooled torch? When do I need a water cooler?

The Fabrication Series Have you tried the tig button yet? I use one on my power tig 250 ex. Its essentially a foot pedal at your finger tip. I do allot of intercooler work on compound turbo diesel stuff. I love the thing.

so how are the stick welds on these? are they both able to run rods such as hard surfacing rods, I know they can run 6010 and 7018, but looking for something that can do hard surfacing on heavy equipment but also do tig welding, would you recommend the 255 or 210 for someone that may not use it often but wants something with a smooth and high output? thanks! -Caleb A.

But still am in love with the 210ext. And am glad with my purchase. I also upgraded the TIG torches and foot pedal. Roto flex TIG torches their version of super flex cables. And their nova pedal which is almost identical with the ssc foot pedal. The torches aren’t as good as ck TIG torches and cables but I paid $50 for each torch upgrade = $100 for two torches when one ck 17 torch is $150 minimum. And $100 for the nava pedal upgrade.

Thanks for the feed back. The Nova Pedal is actually improved over the SSC and has twice the life span @ 2 million cycles along with a better cable strain relief and improved cable and some additional things inside that make a difference. The Nova has a high end Japanese potentiometer vs. the Mexican built potentiometer of the SSC. If you have the Ultraflex cables, they are identical. The torches are nearly too, and out of the same materials. The only difference is that the Rotaflex have a heavier duty built hinge. In our testing of CK vesus Nova, the Nova equaled or outperformed the CK on duty cycle. The Rotaflex torches are a better price overall. If you compare item for item in a name blind test, people will not tell the difference. At shows people have not been able to tell the difference.

How does the 255ext go on low amp is it stable will it light up, i am looking for a machine thst will have hi end performance like the 255 but i also need something that will weld at 10 amps. I could buy 2 machines but one would be better. Keep up the good videos

Looking at getting an inverter for some aluminum repairs. Is the 255 still a go to machine or whats a good choice these days for an ocasional repair. No big fabrication just my home shop. Thanks in advance for any reply!!

Been a blue guy since the beginning of time myself, but have been eyeballing the everlast machines and have been looking for reasons to not buy one. Definitely going to invest in one. Not sure how it's going to compare to a DX, but for the price and size... why not. One gripe I have, and it's not even worth mentioning, but 100% duty, like a dx and air cooled? That's some good assurance for the machine, but without running an external cooler...why? Thanks for the video, best in depth review on the machine!
