What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

That is... about the sweetest TIG welding RIG I have ever seen. Everlast inverter, with a "go-kart kart".

Please keep us posted on how the water cooler turns out.

That cooler looks nice and compact. If I had that setup, I'd get a compact type ("20" series) water cooled TIG torch to go with it. Please keep us posted how the cooler performs.

Cooler works GREAT > I used it @ 180 amps this past weekend and the torch wont even get warm.
I ran about 45 psi on the pump. I have a new WP 20 on the way.

Sweet set up you got there.

Pushing 40 GPH through the setup with a Procon series 1 pump.Works great!
Anyone know what is needed to connect a WeldCraft wp20 to the 250Ex Everlast?

I just hooked up a WeldCraft wp20 to my cooler and here's how I did it. Any comments? I looked at some other peoples ideas and went the same route.

Nice cart!... and solution to the after market water cooled torch, but is it easy to switch the setup around?

Decision time.... First off I'm either getting a 250EX (then save my pennies forever for a plasma cutter) or a PP256, but before I put in my order I want to figure a few things out. I already have a water cooler, so I'm looking for a solution for hooking up an aftermarket Water cooled (ck 200) torch to a PP256, however the adapter block would make switching between Welding and Cutting a chore. Am I wrong? Also switching between Argon and Air... Has anyone come up with a clever solution, or will this drive me as nuts as I think it will.

Using a CK200 setup is simple. Here is how I did mine on my 250ex.

You will just need whatever fittings it takes to adapt to your cooler.


I have seen a post where someone used a three way fitting to switch between Argon to Air quickly on their 256, but don't remember off hand on what board it was posted on.
Millermatic 251
Spectrum 300 Plasma
Everlast PowerTig 250EX
Everlast PowerCool W300
Harris/Victor OA
Craftsman 13 Speed Drill Press

Thank you very much! This was exactly what I was looking for, the red adapter plug. Switching between Tig And Plasma will be a cinch with this setup.

Some people just have the eye. Great looking cart, real impressive. I would love to know how you built your cooler ?
