hey guys, im about to buy an Everlast Powerpro 205 multi process welding machine (tig-stick-plasma cut), im super excited about it, once it arrives i'll be doing a nice writeup/ review of it.
wondering if anyone else has one here? Once i get confortable with it, we'll be making some nice parts for the car! you can check them out here: www.everlastgenerators.com -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

hey guys!
my welder arrived this past monday in perfect condition, and i've gotten a total of about 2.5-3hrs to play with it some since. here are some pics right out of the box.      got it all connected, and hooked up the plasma cutter first. this thing is TOOOOO COOL!!! i had some 3/8" steel plate hanging around, this thing sliced thru it like a hot knife thru butter!! i forgot to get pics, but ill get some prolly later today. next i tried the stick welder with some 6010 rods that i got from work...i've never stick welded, and now i know why. i SUCK at it. i didnt take any pics, cause there isnt much to see, other than a big brown mess (yes, like a big pile of sh*t..lol but what matters, is that the function works, if i wanna take the time to learn it (which i will, down the road) now, on to the main reason for me getting this unit, the tig welding function. took me about 1.5 hrs to get going and actually get the feel for how it works, (i've never tigged before monday) but by the time i finished up last night, i made what i consider some decent looking beads! i guess all the time i spent reading and researching paid off, im able to pretty quickly see and fix the mistakes im making, which is 100% the result of watching the vids on weldingtipsandtricks.com and reading there and a couple other sites. now on to the pics!! i am practicing on a peice of scrap aluminum dimond plate that cam (ted95) gave me, looks to be ~3/16" 3/32" thoriated tungsten 3/32" 4043 filler rod ended up settling in ~ 125-130 or so amp range, playing with the footpedal some as the peice heats up. friday nights practice:  too cold  the bead in the middle of this pic was my best of the night IMO  -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
