I really appreciate these older videos being available because many of us are looking to pick up an older used machine.

I hate to be one of those guys who only comments when your giving something away, but here I am. Either way I've been watching your channel since I ran across it about 2 years ago, and have learned a lot along the way. It doesn't matter about the "prize", this is really a long overdue thanks for taking the time to post these vids!!

I've been welding for about 4 years now and I've watched your videos ever since then. Just wanted to say great job, I learn something new everyday from your videos.

Awesome reviews. So much content I have to watch it twice to get all the info. Thanks for sharing- Fred

I trust this mans info and reviews than anyone else thank u sir for teaching explaining etc my hat off to you

JUst to add a comment, you take a lot of time to demonsrate and explain the topics in your videos. We look forward to finding out when there is a new video available, if not we review old ones. Thank You and "your crew" so much!

I like watching your reviews. Because I was able to watch you use and review the Lincoln 210mp (with the pros and the cons) I bought one of them. (I wanted occasional spool gun use more than I wanted ac tig) .My point is: I wish there was a way to inform Lincoln that YOU deserve the credit for my plunking down 1700 for the machine and all of its accessories. Everything you have covered on your reviews has been highly accurate.

Can't wait for the next video in this series. Thanks for all your videos Jody you have the best ones on youtube.

Always a great show. Been a subscriber for several years and you really know your stuff!

The most beautiful beads I've ever seen! Had I not seen this video, I would've thought those beads were made by a robot. You have an amazing talent sir.

Good reviews that run through the machines quickly and show off the main pros and cons well. Keep em coming!

I stumbled upon your videos and have been binge watching them for the last few days....I wish I would have had this info 10 years ago. I got pretty good with MIG and can could get by with stick but I can only imagine how good I could have gotten if I would have had this info. Never had a chance to TIG but I've always wanted to. Maybe I'll win!!!! Keep up the good work I love your channel.

Great Video! Well done showing what these machines are capable of and their pros and cons.

Love your videos! Learning every-time I watch! Keep it up!

As Usual best welding channel out there, keep up the metric dimensions for us folks overseas

Thanks Jody for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. It has been a great help for me. Your videos and the resources on your site have been an indispensable tool set. God bless.

Thanks Jody, enjoy your long weekend.

Just found this video, even if I do not plan to buy a TIG welder in the near future because I can´t afford it I think I learned a lot about it - so I may be ready when it comes to it. Your welding detail shots are great! Did not find anything near as good as yours yet. Great reviews. Cheers!

CarlosGlatzos976 ahp tig welder probably hands down best ac/dc tig stick in its price range, 680$ us lowest price.

I've been looking at the Everlast machine. great video

I love watching your videos. this is so beautiful, not that i how weld cuz i cant afford to buy a tig welder but still i can see that this is perfectionism.

Thank you for all of the information in this, and all of your videos.

Can't wait for a chance to win, another outstanding vid, thanks Jody

hi Jody. I've been looking for a TIG welder. still haven't decided. been looking at the Miller S90. as a newbie, it very difficult to find the right one. this information has shed some light on pros and cons great video. Thanks

Excellent review Jody, thank you. I own a Squarewave 200, still working on box cutter blades, you make it look so easy.

Josh Capasso I love my Squarewave 200! I am not a welder of the same caliber as Jody here but for what I do and for what I want to do it is an excellent welding machine. The stick side of it is also very powerful and carries a very smooth arc with either 6011 or 7018. The problem I am having though is when I back off on the pedal when doing tig my auto darkening welding shield flashes me. I have a midrange welding shield.

watching your videos is jus like being back in tech school some years ago jus better learning experiance frum you..thanks

Pt 3? I can't seem to find the part 3 video.

Everlast sure does make some great welders. Some new ones coming out in 2020 too.

Very well explained. Really enjoy your videos

I have been considering an everlast machine to use at home. I use a Miller Syncrowave 350lx at work all day, so I am always nervous of not using a well known brand. This really makes me feel a bit better though! Thanks so much.

awesome video with insight thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill I like many others appreciate it.

I bought a primeweld 225 ac/dc tig machine. 800 bucks on Amazon. 3 year warranty. Pulse for ac or dc. Comes with a ck worldwide(best in the business) torch. It welds smooth and clean. I love it. The fabrication series has a review on it that sold me.

Jody I'm learing so much from just watching your vids thank you! I'm now ready to purchase a tig welder. I currently have a Lincoln ideal-arc 250sp for my mig welding needs. My question is I have my choices narrowed down between the Lincoln square wave 200 or the Everlast 185dv. I love the simplicity and the parts availability of the Lincoln, but they are alot more than the latter. In your eyes which one of the 2 is the better choice. thank you for any help, scott

my 210EXT comes tomorrow...i'm looking forward to it.

thanks jody for the information,,, was wondering what your thoughts were on a older miller 330a , i have a chance to bring one home really cheap,,,

Do you have an AHP AlphaTig 200x? I've had mine for a year and I've been loving it. So many features, ZERO issues for under $800. Only thing is the pedal is different from your standard Miller/Lincoln pedals, but it doesn't take long to get used to.

Great stuff Jody. Love your videos. Side note. Forgot what video it was but on the video you made an "insulator" for a scratch start Tig torch using a bottle. Great idea but I know for me I always have left hand gloves laying around with a finger blown out but than I found slide the argon hose through the hole, tape it and than clip your stinger in there and there's your insulator. Great stuff sorry for the rant. Keep it up man.

Thank you ! I think I start learn Tig welding with Everlast 210ext machine

Another excellent video.

hey jody, what's the best/ favorite mig welder you have ran? mine is by far an esab migmaster 250 super smooth running machine and powerfull

I'm going for an everlast welder. Their quality is very good now and I'm going to save a bundle of cash.

Nice! Thanks for filming.

New foot pedal will be available later this year. But for now we offer an upgrade option of an American made SSC controls pedal, which is essentially the same as Lincoln uses.

They are made in China. However, we use US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and other country sources on major components. For comparision, Miller is only assembled in the USA now with many parts coming from China and elsewhere. The lincoln featured above is made in Mexico out of imported parts from all over the world.

i shure appreciate the review videos!

Nice overview of some newer, nicer values in AC/DC TIg units on the market. I did buy an Everlast 210EXT (2015) due to the influence of some of your early videos demonstrating it in it's earlier, slightly more compact version, which obviously has the same specs and performace as the current model year. But I like the newer interface and am completely satisfied with the 210EXT after nearly two years now. Actually, the longer I have it the more I like it, even though it's my first AC/DC TIG unit, but I did use and enjoy a DC-only TIG unit before that, and then decided to include aluminum into projects of mine. Anyway, I'm glad I spent a little more to get the advanced features of the 210EXT, i.e., the wave forms, digital interface, water-cooler plug, and the memory function ability. The 210EXT is undoubtedly a best-value in the advance-features-class. The Everlast staff, warrantee, service, support, and forum have been good too. I added an SSC pedal, but then tried the new CK SteadyGrip pistol-grip amptrol device, and really dig it with the 210EXT, as the handle makes for a nice prop and it keeps your hand off an air-cooled torch, besides, it's actually "steady" too. Ha, ha, ha... ROCK ON, Jody!

@@jacojanks5985 Ive had mine now for over 6 years, and if it blew up today (I was just using it a couple hours ago) I’d buy another one tomorrow. I’m convinced it’s comparable in advanced features to the Dynasty 210DX w/CPS, which with a pedal and the optional SD card that unlocks the Miller hobbled features is now over $7000, I believe. An Everlast 210EXT can still be had for about $1600, on sale, delivered, tax-free to most outside of Alta Calif., which is about the same as I paid over 6 years ago. So, THANK YOU, China, for holding down the Inflation rate for us here on the North American continent. The 210EXT reportedly now has a more robust HF start module. Mine has the contactless HF daughterboard, but they went back to a contact-point style some years ago; the interface and housing has been updated a bit too. But the specs are relatively unchanged, like that brilliant 60% duty-cycle and maximum amperage. I don’t the Dynasty comes close to that, and Mr. TIG did a video that proves the 210EXT has a conservative 60% duty-cycle rating (See his Duty-Cycle Shootout video). So, yeah, RUN, DON’T WALK, in getting a 210EXT before some new trade barrier goes up or a new anti-Asian tariff is imposed here on the North American continent. The advanced features on a unit like the 210EXT are compelling, to me, and I recommend them even to a newbie, which may seem like counterintuitive advice. What I mean is, like the Triangle waveform on AC was very helpful for me early on in welding thinner aluminum, and it still is. The Advanced Pulse, when used non-reductively gives surprisingly more penetration on aluminum than any 210 amp unit around, since it is usually set for half-time on DCEN, and half on AC. I know, crazy! But crazy, good, if you want more punch on aluminum. So, I don’t think a 210EXT is a unit that most anyone can “grow out of”, and that’s good for newbies too. The 210EXT has slightly fewer features than the 255EXT, so it may be less confusing for newbies, i.e., no EASY START function of SPOT function, which makes the interface less-busy. I thoroughly enjoy and endorse it! I'm guessing that you will too.

I watch only the odd You Tube video but these done by Jody are a must for me and I find myself beyond eager waiting for the next one to come out !! Just starting to try my hand at tig with a new machine and I find myself constantly referring back to Jody's videos to see where I've gone wrong.

I'm looking at getting a miller multimatic 200because I do a lot of marine work in the harbors around and I would like be able to start making dry exhaust systems out of stainless could you do a review on this welder

Most the work I'll use this for is 18 gauge sheet metal on cars which will be a wholelot of tack welds and some aluminum tubing. Would you get the square wave 200 or diversion 180 of the price was the same on both?

Jody which machine of these do you prefer the most? I haven't tig'd before and my needs will mostly be on mild sheet steel autobody, and the Lincoln 175's simplicity and durability sound very attractive compared to these digital inverter machines.

Have you used the newer Miler synchrowave 210 acdc ? Do you have a review on this Machine and a Opinion good or bad?

Hi Jody. Great Vid. Question? No Dynasty 200dx?

Wonder why the Lincoln Sw175 is more than the sw200?

Hey Jody, i really enjoy your channel and learned some good welding tips here! I would be soo happy if you could make a video about how to weld some stainless steel pipes together used for custom exhausts for motorbikes... They are thin and for me still a challenge to look really nice and shiny... Best regards! Victor from Germany

Damn that Everlast welds beautiful on the razor.

i use a migatronic PI250 ac/dc at work and i love it :)

I got an 80 amp everlast plasma. My need for it in the past got away from me and I haven't used it, I'm about to. But everlast from all the videos I've watch makes an excellent product. May change on availability on corona economy changes but while it lasts.

How do you know rxactly when to run low hz or high hz

I have an Everlast PowerTIg 250EX and love it. Great welders and product support. Don't be scared of the "less" known name.

I have a Miller EconoTIG machine which I believe is essentially the same as the Lincoln Tig 175 (Transformer, No Freq control, fixed post flow). I can't weld Aluminum worth a crap with that machine. I had a couple of scrap pieces from a golf cart frame and I could not really get a puddle started. I also had problems with the tungsten getting really hot and eroding. I started out with 1/16 Tungsten and switched to 3/32 which worked a lot better but still dismal results. Any suggestions for welding aluminum with a transformer machine would be awesome. (Like using Helium. . .)

Hey Jody first off really like your channel and your tig fingers are awesome!!! Was wondering if you could show a pic of your splitter mainly the check valves that you used thanks

hi Jody, can you do a review on a range of jasic welding machines? I've enquired about them to stores who stock them but obviously there gonna be biased towards them can you give a no bs review? thanks

hello Jody. Any ideas what ac dc tig welder to buy in Ireland or UK? By the way I learned more from your videos then from school. Big thanx Jody... Tomas from IE

Be nice to know your Opinion on the Eastwood TIG200.

Any chance you could tell me which torch and regulator you use with your Thunderbolt setup?

have you ever done a review on the larger tig welders ? I have a 275 Lincoln would like to see some reviews on machines that size

Hi Jody have you ever tried a Danish Welding machine, A Migtronic. that and then Kemppi is the only brands i have tried, I would like to know if they are any good, compared to US welding Machines

jody, what is your take on the Eastwood tig 200 Ac/DC for aluminum?

hey bud I wanted to know your opinion on the everlast 164si is it worth it I do welding side jobs nd can really use the ac DC nd the plasma , , also was curious to see if you had a fix or alternative to the whole gas connection , , when ever I would need to switch gasses or processes I'd have to disconnect tanks and it's a hassle is the maybe a multi entrance gas valve than I can just turn to switch from gasses for example going from tig to plasma and needing compressed air , thanks in advance

What are your thoughts on a MILLER SYNCROWAVE 200 DX, I was shopping around and it seems the best machine for your dollar.

I'd love to see another shootout like this between Everlast and the other big names.

Hey Jody, First off, you are awesome. Second, Between these 4 machines, which one would you say is your favorite and just in general, most enjoyable to weld with? Really looking into the Everlast machines for here at our shop and even one for myself personally. Looking into the Powertig 255ext for the price point and features you get. Also the duty cycle at the amperage we usually run at a 200 is usually fine though there are times 250 amps would really just save my butt. Just curious on your personal opinion and how you feel about those in particular regardless of if it is negative or positive. Just looking for some quality words, Thanks- Devyn

How do you maintain torch angle on socket welds? I just tried and was a disaster to say the least. I can not get the hang of going around pipe. Keep killing tungsten and no good results at all

Awesome information !! Thanks

hi im from Norway and i have always wondered thi, why dont you guys over in the usa use kemppi machines ? always when i see a Welding video from USA they use what we in norway consider old and outdated like stick welding machines or old flux core machines. so im just wondering why you guys dont use like the kemppi fastmig mxf 63 or a kemppi mastertig ?

On the lincoln 175 do you have to scratch start or touch the metal to get started?

What don't you like about the Everlast foot pedal?

Hey Jody I know im a little late but would you care to comment on how a esab 186i AC/DC tig machine would stack up against a tig 200 square wave I was told it will will outperform the Lincoln but i would like to hear that from a non biased source Thanks Tom from Canada

Great video

hy can you tell me someting about the welbach alpha 225 some feedback of this ac dc machine

So for aluminum on the Lincoln, does it require pure tungsten? My dad just got one and I fired it up with a 2% lanthanated and the arc scattered all over the place

hello Jody (hope I spelled it right) ok I'm hooked I have been welding for many years never as a career but in a ag/shop repair setting. done a lot of fab work and built some cool stuff for myself. you and your vids are amazing I love the no bs format of just the facts and show the welding awesome job! I want to learn to tig. I can do all positions of stick and wire but watching your videos I wanna take the next step. where is part 3 of this series and do you have any other material for a beginner? sorry for the long comment but keep up the good work!

Sir can you do a review on Eastwood tig acdc digital 200 welding machine!thanks and more power to you!

Between the Everlast 210 and square wave 200 which one would you recommend? (Primarily aluminum, Hobby garage machine, intermediate skill level ) Great video! Thanks!

Love this video. thanks

I have the everlast 250ex. I love it, but like you state the foot pedal kinda stinks. It's my 2nd one. Any idea of a better quality pedal that is compatible with the everlast? Thanks in advance!

Can you tig aluminum with a thunderbolt 225 miller AC

I'm thinking about buying a Eastwood Tig 200. Do you have any experience with them or any Eastwood welders?

What quality of helium did you add ,thanks .

thanks. looking at getting the everlast. sold in the UK under the name rtech

When will part three come out?

Does the square wave require a foot pedal?

anyone hear that the inverter machines burnout alot faster than the transformer machines? I'm looking at the Lincoln square wave 200

Can you do an updated video on this topic?

Where is the video for the first part?

Great videos! I have learned so much from the great arc shots. I have a Lincoln 175 and I have been getting a really big cleaning zone when welding on ac do you have any recommendations of things to try to improves its auto ac balance feature?

Anyone here have an eastwood muti or any suggestions for a first time welder to learn on mostly use for sheet metal and aluminum, around the house type of things...thanks

Can’t locate the third series on the everlast 210 ext

+weldingtipsandtricks Jody, Whats your opinion of the Everlast powertig 250 ex , the new redesigned one this year thats is 1/2 digital 1/2 analog . Think its a good first tig machine for the serious home hobbyist who does med to heavy work?

I'm looking at an everlast 210ext..

Can anyone speak on the Vulcan Protig 205?

...may i ask if you know which country mitsuden welding machines are from? thank you.
