Thanks for the info. Enjoy watching your vids. I bought the Everlast DV200 tig. Love it so far. Home hobbyist and novice welder but really enjoy meeting metal together. Keep up the awesome video.

I just bought one which is why I’m here. Thanks for the video. You got me even more anxious for it to be delivered.

Great video and thanks for posting the video. I own an everlast 255 ext. Although I use it to stick weld mostly, I have a lot to learn more about tig. I did have an issue with the machine going crazy, I called customer support and they were helpful. The fix was taking apart the cover, tighten all possible connections and and blow out any dust that may have accumulated. It stick welded very nice after that. Now I need more torch time and possibly a water cooler.

I just upgraded my tig setup from an AHP Alphatig 201XD to this exact Everlast machine paired with a water cooler and I have to say I love it. Torch stays cool, welds are a little better.

Yep! Everlast over here for the past few years 🙌🏻

Great Video. Absolutely love my 255ext as well.

Great video review bro, I have a everlast 255ext brand new in the box, had it for 3 years it's a back up machine , you've inspired me to break it out and smash out some dimes 👍

Thanks for the help!

I also have the Everlast 255EXT and quite enjoy using it! I haven't really done too much with aluminum so it was good to see your settings and technique, I think I should probably get a watercooler soon. Anyways, just wanted to say enjoy watching your channel and learning something new.

I have a 255EXT and love it, I bought some glass lenses but for the most part I am still using everything the machine came with. I even run it on 120V with the supplied adapter once in a while and it works great.

Watching your channel is probably the main reason I invested in a ACDC TIG Welder. I had recently purchased a "multi-process" machine for general welding work and quickly realised that the various "multi" machines tend to be a "jack of all trades and master on none" kinda thing. I'm in Oz and bought a well respected and well featured 200A ACDC TIG machine (In Oz its a Unimig but I think you guys see them as a Jasic or Razorweld). The biggest omission on my machine to me is the lack of an ability to store jobs/setups. I say that .. but I got the machine to learn on and I still don't have power to the workshop ;( The next model up in their range (415V 20A) does store jobs! Although I haven't even sparked an arc I'm already looking at my next TIG machine. I really like the "Torchology" torches and consumables that come with my machine but they're non standard and if I want to stick with them I'm kinda locked into a brand. I recently found that Everlast is available to me here at similar prices to the Unimig (Razorweld) brand and that's a really good thing. Thanks for your reviews and insight.

Yes I actually have 3 everlast machines, and recently purchased the 255 ext

Fun video!! Appreciate your teaching!

Very informative video. Thanks for sharing it with us 🙏🏼

I purchased a Everlast 350 EXT with the water cooler almost 2 years now... Still trying to learn and figure it out... But these videos definitely help! Thank you... I use it for stick welding more than T.I.G. but that's going to change!!! Got to learn my Mean Green machine!

Getting ready to purchase. Your video was really helpful. Nice job!

Love my 255EXT!!

I have the 325EXT.....LOVE it!

Very nice video, thank you for that. I enjoy watching them. I'm waiting for my everlast to arrive today. I'm going to be retiring next year, so I'm setting up my home shop to start a new adventure.

I have a 250ex and love it, I don't have a water cooler for it. I like the analog control panel over the semi-digital of the 255ext

I have a esab 220ic. Very quiet. Great welder.

I Love Your Videos Man . Always Amazing :)

Great episode its filling in my missing welding education….. thanks Studio565

Hey Dusty, one feature of the 255EXT you may not have noticed is that if you push in the setting knob while turning, it magnifies the step size 10X, so you can make large changes MUCH faster. My personal biggest gripe is that the fan blows out the front so I have to keep the machine well away from my work area or divert the blast with a towel. My second biggest gripe is the noise of the constantly running fan. I wish it would shut off or at least slow down when not welding. A third annoyance is probably the norm for full-digital welders, and one the analog models (with knobs & switches) don't have. When you shut it off, it forgets your settings if they're not saved in a memory slot. This makes it a pain when you want a quiet coffee break but don't want to overwrite your current saved configuration. I find myself leaving the machine on when I would like to shut it down for half an hour. I made my own water cooler that shuts off the pump a minute after welding, and it verifies adequate torch flow before sending my weld command on to the 255EXT. Your viewers may not realize that the cable in a water cooled torch is much smaller than an air-cooled equivalent and NEEDS coolant flow to keep from melting down.

Just ordered the 255ext kit online. i was not able to add a referral, but i did reply to my order confirmation via email with your channel.

Great review Dusty. I have had the 200dx for a couple of years now. Great machine, I wish the fan had a thermostat.

Wow, you are a fantastic welder.

good video on the 255Ext planning on purchasing one for a race car restoration

I have one, love it. 325 EXT

I have a 252 STI. It was discontinued right after I bought it. I wish I had waited for the replacement model because the çontrols were changed to a much less busy panel. I have no complaints about the performance of the machine.

Nice review! I think I’m needing one of these. Getting some thin wall stainless jobs. My old faithful thermal 250 is doing the job. Just be nice to have that pulse setup and those wave forms for some aluminum goodness. Thanks for this review.

Nice video, informative

MTS 225 over here!! Perfect for the weekend warrior types! Team Green!

So friggin cool for some of your pieces

i have one my is es250 nice machine good job dusty

I might just have found my first tig welder.

I like popping bubble wrap too !

Great vids dusty , can you do a video talking about the different ac waveforms on the machine and how they preform compared to eachother

Dude you seem like such a great dude , just quit the resturant industry and have been wanting to weld for a long time now , signed up for a private weld class in mig and tig. Tig welding is amazing and I love it. I’ve learned so much more from your videos than my classes. Your content is amazing so glad I decided to finally weld and that I found your page. Thank you dusty.

On the amperage adjust knob if you press it in a rotate it will adjust by 10 amp increments.

Italian tig welders are also very good. Selco, cebora, fimer ....

push in on the adjustment knob when you adjust and itll jump by 10 instead of 1 at a time.

im thinking about picking one of these setups up, thanks for the video. hoping your link is still doing something for you.

Hi Dusty I have 210 EXT and an 275P Mig if you want to add something cool to your machine get hold of the Nova wireless pedal it is a game changer for me anyway. My 210 EXT has all the features as the 255 EXT may be it is because that's what we get in Australia but they are great machines. I also use the CK flexlock torch which I have two heads set up one for Aluminium and the other for Stainless. I am happy with both of my machines.

I was a TIG welder professionally 30 years ago and picked up a 200 amp Everlast machine for home and hobby stuff now I'm retired. Can't fault the way it welds, just I'm a bit shaky now. Yes the fan sounds like a leaf blower and the accessories that came with it are pooh, but now I've upgraded the cables I can't imagine needing anything better. Thanks for the review.

I've got the UK equivalent a R Tech 260 ext a lovely if heavy machine, love the channel

I have the 250ex love it power house

I am strongly leaning towards this machine. How is this welder holding up for you? Any issues? I was watching your videos and you made a good point about reaching out to people with actual experience. So here i am!

I have an older (2012) 250 EX, bought new on closeout. It's mostly been a good machine, with one outstanding issue - I had to send the machine in for repair in 2016 when the processer board played out. Had to ship it to a service center in ID on my dime, they took 6 months to fix it, and when I got it back the machine looked like little kids did the repair. To the good, Everlast has since upgraded their service and repair network, and have said customers are no longer waiting forever to get their machines back. Also had problems with the machine not liking to pedal pulse (pump the pedal a few times, and the arc will noticeably get dimmer and lose power). Does it if you use the pulse function too, but if you cycle the main power switch it will pulse normally for a while. Planning to upgrade to an EXT machine next year so I haven't really tried to get to the bottom of that. Like Dusty said, the fans are really loud. It seems like I read the newer 325EXT models have or will have fan-on-demand, but don't take my word for it. My plan is to get their new remote foot pedal, a longer torch cable, and park the machine a little further away from my table.

I have a 255 ext about 4 years old now, pretty much gets used every single weekend on aluminium and stainless, only thing i dont like is the rough arc starts it sometimes gives on AC. Also have a 253 DPI mig which has only welded ally and does a nice job.

I use my 255EXT very little. It’s spent most of five years in air conditioned comfort. Got it out today to make an aluminum repair. Water hose in the torch assembly has turned to glass, broke when uncoiling the torch. Has only had distilled water in it. Argon flowmeter o-rings are shot, spews gas. Swapped another Everlast flowmeter, hose threads are smaller. Changed to its hose and it blew apart at the clamped barb. Hoses have turned sticky and are moldy inside. TIG pedal isn’t tapering amperage properly. I’ll never know if the machine itself is working because I can’t get past the other failures. Yes, I was prepared for potential trouble. The Everlast purchase was an intentional experiment. This is the result.

Hey Dusty great video! I have the 210ext and love it. Agree that the fan is loud but that is my only complaint. I seen you twisting the knob a bunch to increase or decrease settings. Did you know that if you push the knob in and twist it jumps by 10.

I bought an ESAB Rebel 205 trying to consolidate my mig and tig for space reasons, but the fan constantly on was a deal breaker for me, it just wasn't fun to use, so I returned it. Finally I just went for it and got a Dynasty DX 210, yes, it was very expensive, but it's delightful to use.

The R-TECH 210 EXT which seems very similar to this product has the feature FAN ON DEMAND which is nice as my old mig has the fan on all the time.

I have had Everlast for some time now started with the 256 multi (plasma) then just a 256 no multi. about 3 years now the 255 EXT. I got it for the Advanced option as a hobby guy the price was great. I have a blue Mig but would buy Everlast if I replace it.

please make a video where you explain how to weld aluminum without pedal.

MTS 225, trying to learn TIG. Very challenging. My hand keeps on catching on fire... not sure why... Strongly considering buying the water cooled torch unit and some water cooled torches. I don't think anyone out there in the real world uses air cooled torches, it seems very impractical. As a beginner we don't know anything, so we have no way to compare, it's hard to find the groove other than just burning everything up.

Do you prefer your new canaweld over this?

Is this machine good for a starter fabricator I'm looking to get a machine to start doing it in the advice thanks

My Miller 280 has to go in for service and I had to switch to this everlast.....so far I hate it. I think/assume if I was on the everlast and had to go to the Miller id also hate it. I gave up on the pulse on aluminum and just sticking to the "easy AC" button just to get by till my Miller comes abck

I've had a 255EXT since 2015. It is a beast but there is no need to buy this machine unless you need to weld heavy aluminum.

Hi, I realy enjoy your videos. I am curious, Do ho have any opinion on Stahlwerk. I just want to be sure that Everlast255ext is much better than Stahlwerk AC/DC WIG 200 puls digital IGBT.

Im sure you've figured it out y now but if you push the knob in and turn it, it makes much bigger adjustments.

Hello brothers and sisters, in the welding world.

OK if I get one what do I do with my Miller Synchrowave 180? It is an analog beast. LOL

FWIW I bought a 210 EXT in august 2021 and it no longer has the cheap argon hose and connectors, the hose that my 210 came with it is exactly like the one on your 255.

I have a R-tech 260EXT is this the same machine as the everlast 255EXT? They look identical other than the spot weld feature.

What do you think of the lightning MTS 275 from everlast?

Will an aftermarket CK thumb amp control plug into it?

Nice video, Dusty. I dealt with fan noise on my 255 EXT. Detailed description on my channel. Cheers.

does the 255 have tack features ?

I’m new to tig welding an looking for some advice on an affordable tig welder, any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

“ I am not paid for this review” Never mind the $2500 welder and $500 water cooler huh? Okay.

Does anyone know how well the 255ext run 6010 rod?

🪙🪙Great demo Dusty.

hi there. have you ever had experience with (ANDELI TIG-250PL)? im struggling on Aluminum -it shoots too much amps at minimum pedal input n hard to control arc (it says 10 amo is min for AC-but it feels like 20-25 amps are at minimum)

Whats your opinion on Fronius? We have to use them at work TIG welding aluminum and stainless. Anywhere from 1mm up to 7mm landings in one pass. Insane amount of settings. They are expensive machines but honestly i would prefer an old school Miller Sync. Just curious what other professionals like your self think. Your welds are fucking mint by the way man! Great shit man. Welding Porn right here haha. Love it!

What’s the price for this machine?

Hey wats wats a good settin on weldin a t joint it’s 4043 3/8 thick

YEAH, I GOT THE MTS 275 LIGHTNING AND HATE THOSE GAS HOSES....

I always double dip way better. Thinner filler rod boom your sorted

What Everlast model TIG do you guys recommend for a beginner wanting to do some aluminum work? I can do 240 volts input and wouldn't mind having stick capability. The 210EXT perhaps?

You say you aren't paid for the review, but if if the company gave you the welder then isn't that a form of payment?

So I’ve been in the business 25 years and my old thermal ac started dying last year so in a pinch I bought a Vulcan from hf because of the warranty and it isn’t all bad but mostly the pedal and high frequency such. So I’m looking to upgrade and have been eyeing this...I’d really prefer a fronius Miller or htp but for now none of those are friendly to my budget. Now are you using this as a daily driver versus your HTP? Does the high frequency compare to one of the big brands or is is weak on AC and require changing electrodes often?

Dusty, wheres the link to purchase a 255EXT? And to all the gripes, pay several thousands more so you won't have to.

Can you weld a aluminium inside corner with 60 hz and how can you do that ?

In this part two video what size cup did you use for your argon gas shielding? It also looks like it was Pyrex.. I just ordered last week the 255EXT with water cooler and upgraded nova torch and paddle kit 25 feet. I also told them that I watched your videos and use you as a reference when I purchased! Can’t wait to try it out thanks for your videos they’ve been awesome!

Same with my primeweld 225...can't stand that fan!!!

What I think is every everjunk machine I have bought has failed within 2 years of using it. When I have downtime on a machine for 3 weeks to get it repaired and send it to Tennessee I have lost 10 fold. Bought a Miller and it hasn’t skipped a beat. Not to mention it’s a used 15 year old machine. The everlast welds good when it welds. But other than that it’s junk.

Are the Everlast machines the same thing that is stickered as R-Tech in the UK?

Im owning similar welder and when push that encoder, values jump for 10 every scroll...

Good afternoon , question : does a ball form at the tip of the electrode in spot mode ??? in DC mode?

What about your Canaweld Tig welder , did you just throw it out ? you said it was a great welder too now your kind of confusing us.

your link is bad. Just thought you should know

Buyer beware... I am a life time welder... recently bought an Everlast TIG welder for the home hobby shop and while the welder may be good (remains to be seen) the accessories are not. In short order the Argon hose blew out and the regulator leaks at the gage fitting. Basic China quality.

Negativity free? Are you even a welder? Lol jk 🤣

Hey does this welder have two gas inlets
