I don't think there is anything wrong with your microphone. I noticed on the last couple of videos that when you use the pipeliner welding hood the sound is terrible when you talk with the hood down. No such problems on your previous videos with your regular auto darkening hood. I think the shape of the pipeliner hood mess up the soundwaves in such a way that your microphone can't cope with them.

Etol1963 you must be kidding? Sound is horrible even before he puts a mask on

sidewaysdanny No I'm not. The sound is fine on my laptop when Bob lifts the hood. Only with the hood down it's horrible.

Etol1963 you must have very poor speakers to start with then

probably a everlast mic

#torchwear gloves by fsr the best tig gloves I've ever used. Expensive but worth the $$

Il look into them, was actually looking for a good pair.

I weld with hot glue does the 200DV do AC stick, and if so can you adjust the frequency? Bob recently did it with the AlphaTig 200 and it seems like with all of the features it might be handy

Jorge Perez You can do AC stick, but I haven't played with the AC frequency. It is there and does exist, I just dont use it. Use the machine for mostly Tig

How do you like it so far?

@@creekgazer5881 its really good Super glad i bought it. Wish i could attach pics here of some of the welds. Definitely a good bang for the buck machine 👌

@@audirx8 Thanks for replying! I just purchased it off their site. Always good to hear first hand experience. Thanks again!

PS have a look at kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nalzl8yc2Ny8fYk.html

Everlasts kick ass on stick. It was the 1st thing I tried on my power pro 256 I had some 1/8th inch 7018 on 1/2 inch plate. I was pleasantly surprised, i was nearly frightened, I'm used to a little 90 amp that couldn't even light up a 3/32 electrode.

200 if you are experienced

Did you look at the prime weld 225 ?

AHP alpha tig is totally awesome If you like it go for it it's a wonderful machine you will like it I would get a HP if I were you

@@Max-ye9xg honestly they’re not. I bought 2 of them and they both had issues. Ones display went out of calibration and the other was having power issues. None of which would be fixed with out out of pocket costs to me worth half the price of the machine. I sold them both and went Prime weld and never looked back. Sadly I can not recommend AHP anymore

I watched it again - and seems to me your machine is doing it too - maybe not as pronounced but seems like its doing it

Ive got a 200dv and I get what your saying, almost certain mine does it too.

ZILA my r-tech 200 ac/dc which is the same as the older everlast always started on regular ac, perhaps these later ones have different control board design.

@@Robbyt123 How is your 200DV welder holding up?

@@talkingserpents its doing great. no problems yet

Yes, we do. Email me at bob.moffatt@cowley.edu and let's get you on the list.

Greg E...you cant adjust anything on the Diversion ( we have one at the shop that I use ).I would rather get this Everlast

I really dislike the Miller. Without adjustments i flet like it made the welds lower quality and the work harder.

The Everlast is not some junk Chinese machine that's a high-quality machine just made somewhere that workers work for little money California worker thinks he needs a hundred bucks an hour

The material is dirty and the contaminants are bulging out volcano out

You ever seen a volcanoes spitting out the contaminants diamonds and gold

@@Max-ye9xg well I know a lot more about welding from last year lol

Iton Joans #torchwear gloves best tig glove you ever gonna find.. expensive but worth it!

When the tungsten is hot ( right after welding) and still glowing - you want to shield the tungsten with agron while it is cooling down and block the ambient air out...if you dont do that - the tungsten will turn black and needs to be re sharpend ...

Not only the tungsten, you also want to keep the post flow going to shield the molten metal while it’s cooling down back into its solid state and cool enough where oxygen won’t contaminate it anymore. 8 seconds is just a tad long for mild steel, but when you get into exotic metals such as titanium, nickel, hastelloy etc. , it is not uncommon to see post flow upwards to about 12-15 seconds. Keep asking questions!

Tuck it also depends in the amperage you were welding at .... if you never weld over 100 amps than maybe 3sec post flow on steel and 5 sec in stainless can be enough ... if you weld at 200 or 250 amp .... in my experience that 8 sec can be a very good number .... now i dont say that you absolutely need 8 sec - but its a “cheap” insurance. Most guys who i know do not really adjust the post flow every day - its more a thing they set once and than forget about it. And my machine has a digital display - i am set to 7.5 sec as my “go to” setting .... I rather have 3 sec too much post flow than 0.5 sec less than i would have needed and then the grinder comes out and i loose valuable time and weld quality over trying to save a fraction of a cent on shielding gas.

Wow, it’s honor to have you reply Zila. Big fan of your videos man.

Thank you and thanks for watching my stuff ! as far as replying - I do the best I can ....

For Tungsten inert gas setting, do you have it set on AC or DC

Do you have it set on 2T or 4T are you using the pedal or the stick also you have to adjust the Hertz if you have the Hertz too low it has to be at least 60 increase and decrease and increase Hertz from 60

You're probably trying to use the foot pedal and still have to dial the machine to maximum to get the range the foot pedal won't automatically give you a full throttle

The foot pedal will operate within a range which is decided by the knob turning it up or down if you turn the knob to 60 it won't go over 60 the foot pedal that is

Also when you go back to stick welder you have to not use the foot pedal and turn it back to 2T + 0 when you use the foot pedal you have to have it on number 2 T zero also

Each knob can actually be important for welders who know when and how to use them. Everlast is pretty good at including the most sought after features that their customers are asking for.

I'm sure they are (important). So maybe he can show us why.

I love Waffle House - my wife hates it ... LOL.

@@ZILAwelds arent we just so alike 😆

We had some microphone issues while recording this video, but we have hopefully corrected them all. Sorry about the quality issue in this video!

Why is it that every time someone gives a favorable review on a product, people think they must have obviously been paid. You saw the settings changes he made and the outcome. If you know what you are looking at you know what he said was true. Never once did Rave about the machine. He merely said the machine responded to the changes he made and that it was a decent machine for the money.

@@recrdholdr What I wanna know is how does it hold up over time.

The owner just refunded my money and refused to provide a email why. The reason was they didn't inform me that the machine I ordered was on backorder and he didn't want a bad review. Basically, he told me to go elsewhere. WTF, you know.
