Hi kevin .just a quick update.im now earning money from watching your videos. Making patio heaters,chairs and garden decorations.!!!@ thanks for all your help over the years .never stop doing what you do best Kevin. Best regards from the uk .always a god of welding in my eyes.🤩🤩🤩
Welcome to the club Wayne! Great to hear you are on the black side of the ledger. Thanks for watching and don't forget to click on an ad or two. Helps pay for the videos.
Sometimes now I think setting up the welder is an art form!its like using the right paint and brushes.before I'd use a yard broom to paint the canvas lol.slow and steady all the way.thankyou my friend.
I have heard that the colors on the Everlast hoses are backwards. The cool water from the hose should go direct to the torch head and the blue hose actually goes to the dinse connector first so you should plug red to blue and blue to red to get the flow going in the right direction. Do you agree or would you just match the colors?
Not at all! Am very impressed with the MTS 275 Lightning! Has become my go to machine for welding. Now if I could just think of a way to mount the plasma on the same cart!
@@KevincaronSculpture Thanks Kevin. Good to hear. I like the Everlast machines and have had no issues with mine. I'm just a home shop welder so they fit my needs. I think a plasma cutter would look great on top...lol.
when your finished using machine do you put it away with the coolant in the hoses or does it automatically go back in its tank, is there anything special that has to be done with hoses after?
Kevin I'm thinking of getting a tig welder I have been mig welding and stick welding for a long time. I was thinking of getting an Everlast 250ex To start trying to teach myself how to tig. Do you think that's a good machine?
Everlast said that anything other than industry HF tig coolant will void the warranty. The specifically said not to use automotive antifreeze. Just FYI. It clogs the pump over time.
@@KevincaronSculpture - I have heard a lot of guys doing it, but if you check the everlast forum, there are also a lot of guys who have had problems and the everlast rep straight up said, it voids the warranty. I just got one, so I'm investigating everything. I appreciate your channel.
Hi kevin,just a slightly different question.do you see any problem running 0.6mm mig wire through a 0.8mm liner and tip?just found loads I need using up thanks😁
I am just learning how to TIG. I just bought a AHP 225 and the AHP water cooler. What torch are you using in the video and will the connection work with the AHP set up?
I think it is a 26 series torch. Hooks up and works just fine with AHP because that is the one that came with the machine. Haven't had a reason to change it.
@@KevincaronSculpture Yes, the AHP air-cooled or gas-cooled torch that comes with the AHP machine works great. I am just trying I see it the torch you are using in this video on the Everlast machine is compatible with the AHP 225 set up with the water cooler. I have seen that you have made a video of the AHP 225 about a review and have both machines. I would figure you would be the best to ask it the water torch will work on both machine. I am just trying to find one compatible with the AHP 225 and AHP water cooler. Thank you
Hey Kevin i have MTS252 it came with water cooled torch but i have not use it but one time .I tested it with distilled water and drained it and was looking at the coolant a Walmart for motor home the pink stuff and this is ok to use ? Thanks Steve
Has this machine been released to the general public by Everlast yet? Ever since you first did a video on it (I think a couple of months ago) I've been checking their website but haven't found the MTS 275 on there yet.
I tried compressed air to push a blockage through my water power feed line and did the opposite on the return line I'm trying to break free a blockage do the lines become like flat straws when running around a torch head causing it to plug up with particulates because it has a thinner tolerance and easier to plug up? Is there pics of a liquid cooled cut in half from top to bottom?
@@KevincaronSculpture I can't believe I could ask that in any different way to get to the same answer I'm looking for. I've been welding 40 yrs . The air has worked in the past. Certified 6G , was boilermaker tin knocker and wire nut. Cyanide bromine chlorine ammonia I specialize in the real nice stuff chemical plants One Way air flows scuba gear parts per million oxygen content for confined spaces and all of this time I have never thought about cutting one in half but every time I look for three-dimensional view or a blueprint with the different views overhead side and all of that I just find a one two-dimensional view that you really can't follow the train of thought of how it gets around the head I've got quite a few heads that are here in my shop so I might just do it as a learning experience I got a new torch works great this time I hooked up a diaphragm pump for like a camper or RV 60 PSI output with ball valves to adjust the the force or pressure of the water getting through so far so good if you do come across it let me know something thanks for your time enjoy the advice thank you again
It is an awesome machine!! Has done everything I have asked of it and no problems. The one in the video was sold not too long after this video was filmed. A local saw the video and came to give it a test drive. He pulled out a wad of bills and bought everything but the bottles! Just got a replacement a few days ago. Great machine!
Hi , was the torch set up expensive and did you pay for it or is this a sponsored video ? How are you finding the tungsten holder / swivel part holds up to daily use , many thanks.
The torch came with the machine. They sell for less than $200. Been holding up to daily use with no problems. The trick is to not over tighten the screw holding it in place.
@@KevincaronSculpture many thanks ,, i think ill treat myself , and its handy to know how they do in real life and a genuine review not one thats been bought.
You could. Just buy one item at the time. Like i did. Bought a lincoln idealarc300 tig, then the bernard cooler, finally the torch and coolant. Total was less than 500$.

Thanks Kevin,as always you keep things light and entertaining whilst being interesting and informative.
Just having fun with my "work"!
Sometimes now I think setting up the welder is an art form!its like using the right paint and brushes.before I'd use a yard broom to paint the canvas lol.slow and steady all the way.thankyou my friend.
Always something new to learn and pass on. Just one of those joys in life I love so much. Thanks for watching and posting.
I received a water cooled torch with my Everlast TIG welder but never got around to getting a cooler. This looks worth looking into.
Makes a huge difference in how long you can weld and hot long the torch consumables last. Well worth the cost in my opinion.
Kevin, you could not have done this video without the wife in the background, I really enjoyed her participation and collaboration.
A lot of my career I owe to my wife! She is the best friend and partner I have! Thanks for watching !
Thank you for the update. When you come around to it, I'll be waiting for that E6010 video. Thank you the informative video!
You bet!
As always, excellent info delivered smoothly! Thanks, guy!
Thanks for watching big guy!
Always good videos but that’s one of your best
I appreciate that! Working on getting the next generation machine to show you guys what's coming. It will be awesome!!!!
I need a water cooler for my Everlast TIG welder. I love the smaller torches.
Makes a big difference for sure!

The cool water from the hose should go direct to the torch head and the blue hose actually goes to the dinse connector first so you should plug red to blue and blue to red to get the flow going in the right direction. Do you agree or would you just match the colors?
I just match the colors. And they fixed the backwards thing.
What type of coolant did you use? I just purchased the same welder and am looking for recommendations on coolant. Thank you
I have been using the pink RV type coolant. No problems so far.
Nice to see you . I already ordered MTS 275 . please Wich antifreeze do you use for cooling system? Thanks. Take care
I get the pink motor home stuff from the auto parts store.
Hi Kevin. Enjoy all your videos. Just wanted to see if you have had any problems with the new machine since it's so new. Thanks.
Not at all! Am very impressed with the MTS 275 Lightning! Has become my go to machine for welding. Now if I could just think of a way to mount the plasma on the same cart!

when your finished using machine do you put it away with the coolant in the hoses or does it automatically go back in its tank, is there anything special that has to be done with hoses after?
Great question! Nothing has to be done when I am done for the day. The coolant stays in the hose and the cable just gets coiled up.
Kevin I'm thinking of getting a tig welder I have been mig welding and stick welding for a long time. I was thinking of getting an Everlast 250ex To start trying to teach myself how to tig. Do you think that's a good machine?
I like the 250ext over the ex. But either machine is going to serve you great for a long time. I had both at one time and they always outperformed me!

Been running the pink RV coolant in all 3 of my coolers with no problems. It has been about 4 years.

What is the name of the TIG finger control???
Here is one, ssccontrols.com/product/touch4 Just google "tig welding finger control'. Lots to chose from.

Yes Steve, you should use the pink stuff for the water cooled torch.
@@KevincaronSculpture okay got it
Has this machine been released to the general public by Everlast yet? Ever since you first did a video on it (I think a couple of months ago) I've been checking their website but haven't found the MTS 275 on there yet.
Not out yet. This is a prototype and they are still working out the bugs. Can't have you all getting a buggy machine!
A review on some E6010!? Thank you
Eventually, have to get some first.
I've fun with that, I'm having fun making a charcoal grill out of a beer keg never tig welded stainless steel before oh boy
Always fun learning something new and being able to put it to work!

I would assume there is a photo on the internet somewhere.

I'm going to try a penrose staircase. That's my first big project. About 3 x 3 feet .wish me luck
I have seen the videos!! Good luck for sure!!!!
Are you pleased this far with the mts 275.
It is an awesome machine!! Has done everything I have asked of it and no problems. The one in the video was sold not too long after this video was filmed.

@@KevincaronSculpture many thanks ,, i think ill treat myself , and its handy to know how they do in real life and a genuine review not one thats been bought.
I would kill to have that set up
All it takes is a phone call.... and a credit card!
Kevin Caron, Artist you also need to have money
You could. Just buy one item at the time. Like i did. Bought a lincoln idealarc300 tig, then the bernard cooler, finally the torch and coolant. Total was less than 500$.
I am surprised that it has taken this long for welding machine to incorporate good cooling.
They are just trying to keep the cost down so folks can afford to buy one.
I imagine it would be a funny moment to see water spraying out of the tig torch if you got the hoses plugged in wrong
You know when it happened I just sat there looking at the puddle for a few seconds thinking "WTF"!
Aww, your intro cut you off lol!!! Ahh well, Cut your pay eh!?! Cheers m8!!
Pay??? I get payed for this!!??
kevin like i hurt your ego like mary not doing part 2 of the video
Oh heck, you know how to do that part!
Kermit the frog?
On my off days.
He sounds like kermit
Or maybe kermit sounds like him.
