just got myself the lower model 250EX and will need to buy the water cooler for it down the road, just air cooled for now at low amps with my CK air cooled torch.
35CFH is a bit excessive for the size of that cup. Rule of thumb is twice the cups size. If you’re running a number 6 cup. Argon should be approx. 12cfh. This is only a type of thumb, and can be tweaked for max performance.
It is not easy to get advice and recommendations in the world of welding, I think you have a lot of experience, good luck with your channel and thank you for sharing such valuable knowledge.
Thanks for sharing . I have recently been considering this outfit . It bears saying that all manufacturers should consider centrifugal fans in their machines . far less noise ! I have auto noise cancelling shooters ear plugs , wise choice .
The US manual can be found online. This is a new unit and the full US written manual is found online for all users in the North American Market on Everlast's website. It's much longer and correct.
May want to speed up and edit your video a bit. Kinda drags a a bit. Lots is out of focus, and lots of what would be considered dead air on a TV station. Good information, though.
What amperage do you plan on welding at, if your gonna stay under about 220 I'd stick with 3/32 tungsten, pick up a 9 sized torch from ck world wide, and a stubby kit makes the torch really small and nimble. I had the nova torches from everlast and they developed a water leak after about 6 months
Ive learned how to read the puddle so i dont lower the amps on the machine and keep it maxed. I just control the amps using the foot pedal. Personally I've never had a 3/32 tungsten on my everlast, but thats my preference. Check out my instagram (@bbmf.us) and you can see the various metals and thickness I weld with only using ⅛" tungsten. I've only ran the nova torches on my PowerTIG350EXT. One leaked after about a year and the other one started giving me issues in 9 month's with the arc going in and out due to the power cable but they have one year replacement warranty which is unheard of. The nova torches are so affordable that for about $130 shipped to your door you cant beat getting a complete plug and play torch kit. But I know what you mean about having a small and nimble torch, sometimes I wish I had one 😁👍.
How well will it do thin aluminum? I'm considering the 350 or the 400 with a water cooler to replace my old Lincoln air cooled tig. It's a smaller pretty basic machine.

I never run 12cfh.. I'm not in a controlled environment. There is always wind or a fan running in my shop. 20 is the least I do to save gas.

Thank you!
Nice! Thanks

What did you end up using for your breaker and wire awg for the circuitry?
Yeah that bracket doesnt fit ok the 275 mts

I love that it's correct.

Nice information 👍👍
Thanks!
That looked like 1/4 in. aluminum - how is the duty cycle
Will it be good for a start up shop?
It is ¼ tube and I think it's really good for a start up shop because you would be able to weld anything and won't out grow the machine.
I plan to out grow this welder.
If not, then I'm not working hard enough !
Thanks for the feed back .
Can you weld 1/2” with it?? I have a square wave 200 and it’s not enough…
Good
thanks!

thin aluminum is no problem. These inverter machines do pulse if you need it
Awesome
