Looking for some feedback on the new models of the everlast 210ext.are they or have they been reliable machines? I see many guys/shops using them and curious of how they stand up the the regular name brands.is it comparable to the dynasty 210dx as far as settings and even performance? I know it's a lower cost machine compared to a dynasty but it seems alot of people do like everlast.
That was my post. I purchased the everlast 250ext 6 years ago. It has been reliable.
I am not a welder by trade so light use.
I learned alot on that machine so it does not owe me anything.
Having said that, the dynasty 210dx is on another level. Especially when welding thin material. Delicate arc starts are hard.
I posted some test i ran with my oscilloscope and you can see the voltage amperage switching is not as accurate or smooth as the miller.
I did not test 100 everlast units just mine, so not a true study but that has been my experience.
The miller stuff is expensive but i feel justified by all the things that go into making a great brand (great tech support, well paying jobs, research and development etc)
If i had to start today. I would look to the esab rebel 215, htp invertig221 or the dynasty 210dx. I have never used the esab or invertig but have heard good things.
5th street fab likes his invertig and he knows how to lay some metal!
If the option is <$1500 tig rig or nothing i would say the everlast is a good choice.
A little long winded
Good luck!
