Hi, user snowtrooper uses one.

pulled the trigger and bought one for 900 with foot pedal shipped with 5yr warranty cant beat that price. gonna post up some welds once i receive it

 

Thinking about purchasing one myself, post up some pictures..

 

Yeah this welder has now caught my eye. Seems like a good deal. I would like to see so more welds that have been laid down with it. I watched a few youtube videos ans it seems to run very well other then the massive rig that comes with it. I have never used a rig that big i am always welding in tight places lol

 

I just purchased the 200dx for $50 more is all. They have a cool "make an offer" link on their site. Offered $900 shipped with an extra consumable pack, and they snapped on it for me. I am stoked! I too will show some welds with it when I get it.

 

ive been keeping my eye on them for a while now, ill prob get the big 1 phase 250......

 

lol i can, i bought this exact welder with foot pedal and warranty as well for $820 shiped! I haggle like no other!

 

That and eastwood are ac dc for cheap

 

It's a great little machine for the money. Foot pedal is crap but the power supply itself is legit. It took over daily duty from my miller.

 

I know tigs go for more but for a starter tig not bad, i looked in the eastwood but rather go for warranty i had a hobart and took a crap within less then a 1yr but for i want it its not bad few intercooler kits and its paid off the way i see it not looking todo manifolds but were i live its hard to finda guy who does this work

 

post pics of machine and torch/pedal when you get it please. Can it do 120/220?, that's what I was reading on their site.

 

you got any pictures of work you done with this machine??

 

$50 adaptor on their site

 

he posted in here

What is the adapter? On the millers you just make an adapter like a female 110 to 220v that sure doesn't cost $50

 

you dont need an adapter, u just put a 110 plug on the end instead of a 220, just make sure u get a 110/220 machine. they come without a plug on the end, u just go to lowes n buy the plug u want. they supplied a 110 with mine but i wanted a 220 plug on it

 

I didn't think the microtig 185 was a 110/220 unit, pretty sure the one we got was 220 only.

Everlast makes several different foot pedals. We got the steel one, that is belt operated. Its pretty nice and solid.

I bought a 185 micro for a friend to teach him how to tig. I immediately laid out some really nice looking beads with it. Its at his shop now, he uses it every day and picked up on it fast.

Its a pretty solid machine, I was pretty impressed with it. I honestly expected it to be a whole lot cheaper in quality. I wouldn't say its as nice as my Miller syncrowave, but hey, it looks to be well worth the money so far. I honestly feel like I could do just about anything with the Everlast as I could my Miller syncrowave and the customer would never know the difference.

My only slight complaint was the larger wp26 torch. I like the smaller torchs like the wp20 on my miller. That being said, I figured out how to use the wp26 in no time.

I used to have a Miller econotig, and I would much rather have the everlast than it. It welds alum pretty nice, I didn't like the econotig for aluminum.

 

nothing but good reviews so far that im hearing about this unit, i saw on the everlast forum that the foot pedal when its floored all the way it doesnt get max amp(185)..

 

@a267mm, has the unit came in yet? have u fire it up.. where the pictures at

 

 

I was reading and I think the issue is you can't limit the amps by the panel when using the pedal. So it always gives you 185 amps when using the pedal. I'm not sure about their other machines but for example on my dynasty when you put 50 amps on the panel then floor the pedal it will put out 0- 50 amps.

 

Came in today getting a plug for the 220 at homedepot

 

OK, plugged everything together was simple, went to hardware store and got me a sheet of 16 gauge to throw some beads having a hard time setting up machine, am using a orange tungsten 1/16x3 don't know if that's the right one.Using a number 6 cup.Like essex said always gives u 185amps regardless which setting your at. Don't know were to set frequency at and balance to.

which tungsten should i use for stainless and aluminum?

 

not all 185 micro are 110/220. most are 220. im pretty sure it was extra to have a duel voltage machine, they just started offering them about a year ago. if you dont like the wp26 torch they now sell a wp17 for 99 shipped on ebay, plugs right into the machine unlike if u got a weldcraft where you would have to buy a bunch of adapters to make work
