TFS: Everlast PowerTIG 255EXT and 210EXT Welder Review

[@R.KaandorpProductions]

Living in The Netherlands, searching for an European dealership, found one in Finland, bought the 210ext, i'm OVER EXCITED! Thanks for al the video's, i appreciate it!

[@paulwest1632]

Your videos sold me on the 255EXT. Thanks for the info. Never heard of Everlast before this video and it’s a hell of a machine

[@speedandmarine9066]

Bought a 255EXT about 8 months ago and been pretty happy with it. 1/3rd of the price of my Chinese built Dynasty, better duty cycle and comparable features. Everlast has stepped up the quality of the accessories, the torches, foot pedal and flow meter are actually decent. Is there better, sure, but the stuff Miller included with my Dynasty weren't the best either. I think Everlasts customer service is better, bought direct and they were nice enough to price match without a big hassle. Thinking about getting a MIG and another 255 from them soon. The videos are always great, thanks, enjoy watching them. Even for the type of fab work I'm really familiar with it's always nice to see how someone else does the same thing, always learning!

[@ruzbehmusic]

Thanks Justin. I bought the 210 EXT shortly after watching this video. It must have been about 9 months ago... I'm very happy with it...

[@danielmartins1367]

Mr. Tig recommended that the stock torch should be replaced with another, 17f. How was your experience with the torch that came with the machine? Thnx

[@bretthuffine]

I've been welding for close to 10 years and have always been a Miller fan. Used a 210 EXT, bought one for myself and have never looked back. That was almost 3 years ago and it has never let me down.

[@st170ish]

Down here(Australia) our 210EXT has all the features of the 255 except the spot and gas purge, my 210 is a couple years old now hasnt skipped a beat so far... I ended up springing for the matching water cooler(W300)and a 25' CK230 torch can hold hold that sucker absolute flat chat indefinitely :)

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

Nice!

[@stevesanders3992]

Sounds good. how much money did the welder cost in Straya? Thanks Steve.

[@blacktopmods]

Just got the 325 EXT. Everlast goes the extra mile. I ordered on the 14th (they were out of stock with none coming for a few months), They pulled some strings and got me the 325 in less than a week FROM CHINA!

[@doubled9019]

I just purchased the 255EXT, my first tig machine. Got it with the Nova pedal, shipped for $2300. Cannot wait to learn how to tig!

[@083rt]

Double D how you liking it so far?

[@milehidude]

Justin, thanks for the video. When replacing my old monster standup Lincoln TIG with pulse, I found out about the 255EXT Dec 2016. Like you, I never even heard of them; have always owned 'blue' or 'red'. I could not believe they could offer the quality for the price they sold for. I'm sure glad I took the gamble and bought it! Great machine; power and control! I have to say that 4 months in, the main diodes went out, but it was all covered by warranty. Would I get this again...oh yeah!

[@weldingjunkie]

milehidude so it died 4mo in and you are calling it quality? I’m curious as to why?

[@milehidude]

Hi Jason...I’ve owned many welders over the 40 years that I’ve been welding. They’ve all had problems of more serious nature than what I mentioned of the 255EXT.

[@weldingjunkie]

milehidude just curious, not trying to toss a dig, I was just curious. I was looking into one. I have the HTP 221 but looking for another one for the shop. 4 mo in going bad has to be a QC or shipping issue I would assume. It’s though to compare all the transformer machines (ived owner many) to this. Totally different animal than copper wrapped machines. Have you had any issues since?

[@milehidude]

Hi Jason. No issues to date. The only thing I would add is that you can’t use pure tungsten electrodes on inverters ... they burn through the electrode too fast. (The manual makes note of this)

[@jeremyarnold629]

These mite be great little welders if you can actually get them to ship you one of them. I was tricked into paying for 1 that was " IN STOCK" but turned out a week later these were not in stock and was given a date when it would be shipped out, then that date rolled rite on by then was given another date then that date is now here today then I was just given yet another date that they think it mite possibly COULD be here on. So I'm really impressed to see anyone using these machines on KZbin I'm impressed that you guys actually got one delivered to you, WOW........🤬

[@bluefrog8670]

Did they send it? Don't leave us in suspence!

[@georgef1176]

Thanks Justin you helped me make my decision. I’m gonna try everlast. I wanted forney 220 but no post pre flow adjustment. I have Lincoln 210mp I bought new 4 years ago for $1400, now they are 2200-2500 crazy increases with Lincoln, the tig200 was about same pricing 1400 years ago now they are 2500 min.

I ordered a 210 EXT last week. can't wait till it shows up! excited

[@Welddotcom]

Well done, Justin. Very informative.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

+Weld.com Thank you!

[@draytonPW]

The 255ext has a 60% duty cycle at 250amps. 100% duty cycle is at 200 amps.

[@airjer18]

I had a old everlast 200, there was a board failure from the get go which didn't allow for the pedal to work, trigger button worked fine and it still welded just fine, they had me return it on their dime, and I chose to upgrade to the 225LX, this was in 2011 and that welder was excellent. I ended up selling the welder for more than I paid for it about 6 years later. My newest welder was a song on a facebook buy and is a lincoln squarewave 200 and I miss post flow adjustment and the low amperage starts of the everlast.

[@imkindofabigdeal4308]

We have an Everlast 235 DPi MIG and it has performed very well for our business. Looking at their TIG to broaden our capabilities.

[@sethward3753]

Awesome video. Having a hard time debating between the 210 ext and the 250 ex, I can't justify the 255 as a hobbyist but your video has sold me either way!

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

+Seth Ward Just grab the 210. It won't let you down.

[@NSXTACY420]

PrimeWeld TIG225 might be a good competitor for these Everlast welders. Same technology sold with a CK flex torch and 225a of power. So far I Love mine. I didn't go with everlast because of reviews that scared me.

[@gatorwing6231]

I agree. Returned repaired welder not what you sent in. Poor company response and top board failures. The PrimeWeld seems like the way to go.

[@jeremyarnold629]

Great review of these welders I just purchased the 210ext yesterday and cant wait to try it out. I build mainly drift trikes and small chopper frames with .080 to .120 wall tube so it should be a nice addition to the family. Thanks for all that you do for the utube community.

[@gregstanley1075]

I really want to know more about that everlast 255ext welder. That looks like one sweet welder.

[@jamessonger3]

I just got a 210 ext about 2 months ago and without a doubt its a sweet sweet welder.... the tig and stick processes are very nice. if you are looking at either of these machines id say go for it!

[@braddaruler]

i have had the 210EXT for about a year it works great! You can drill a new hole and move the gas inlet over.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

I figured I could move the inlet over, but I just grabbed a fitting. It took less time and didn't leave any extra holes in my machine haha.

[@danielmartins1367]

Mr. Tig recommended to toss the stock torch and get a 17 size. What was your experience with the stock torch? Thnx

[@NewJerusalemTimes]

Yeah, I've had my 210EXT (2015 model) for nearly three years now and like it well. I especially like that it has the added Triangle waveform for when I'm welding lighter aluminum. The four fans inside the 210EXT, ironically, make it nearly whisper quiet too.

[@martinflores9382]

Still holding up ?

[@Yogurtmeat]

I just bought one of these machines here in Australia. Pretty damn good and the price is unreal... Old 10amp wall plugs here trip out sometimes as its a 15amp plug here, but new outlets that are 10 amp (make up an adapter/grind down the larger earth on the plug like some ppl do) are meant to be rated to 16 amp and i havnt had any trouble on a new circuit. In NZ new 10amp outlets are rated to 20amps my mate tells me so even better for when i shift back!

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

Interesting to learn about the outlets. They're a little different here.

[@milehidude]

I also want to add, that grounding (to earth), made a huge difference in electrically quieting the shop; a must for nearby CNC equipment.

[@trg3761]

Lov my Everlast 252 mts, it has lots of power and lots of futures, one thing i like about this machine is there are very few plastic parts on it, the wire feed mechanism is all cast alumni and steel parts.

[@dalefrahm9060]

Good video, I really want a Miller Dynasty for home use. We have 3 different sizes at work and they definitely are great machines, along with all the other blue welders we have. But and this is a big but, I can't justify the cost for having one at home. just to get in at the bottom end is going to cost me about $3,500 dollars. or more haven't checked in a while. Cyber weld is usually the cheapest so that's the pricing I'm using. There other options of course, used Dynasty , but they are hard to come by. Sycro wave, big, power hogs, not as many features. That's the problem with welding with really good equipment it's hard to chose something with less features. Thanks for the review.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

I had a Dynasty for years. It was and still is a great machine. I personally can't justify the price anymore. It's too expensive in my opinion for the same thing it has always been. The 255EXT is kind of scary in that is welds better than I remember my Dynasty running. It almost feels wrong to say that, but it's a beast at a fraction of the price.

[@metal75801]

Would love to see you review the Power Tig 350EXT. Nobody on youtube has done it yet that I can find..

So I started shopping on Amazon and there are dozens of models of Everlast. I am swimming!

When do you think you will have a review video of it? I am stuck between the 255EXT and 221STi.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

Larry Watson I'll be honest - I love the 221. It's super smooth, has little sacrifice to quality being a multi, but I need more time to really discover it in an unbiased manner so that my review is fair and honest. I do have a huge project coming up where I'll be using it which should be the review.

[@joewest1972]

In my opinion while it is convenient to have everything all in one unit it's also everything dead in the water should something go wrong so it's kind of a toss-up it really isn't that much more money to buy separately in a lot of cases

The Fabrication Series did you get a video out on the 221 yet?

The dB volume alert is much appreciated! :-)

[@ralphwaters8905]

The advanced AC TIG pulse feature combines aspects of AC (cleaning) and DCEN (penetration) for heavy aluminum, and is advertised to enable welding of thicker sections than you normally could at the same amperage with standard AC TIG. I'd like to see an evaluation of this feature which seems to be unique to Everlast.

Those look like really great welders.

[@austinburtch5972]

I've had the 255ext for about 2yrs. Great machine, zero issues. I upgraded to a #9 ck-world wide torch, and the scc foot pedal. Both great upgrades(nothing wrong with what came with the machine). I had the Everlast powertig 200dx before switching to the 255ext, which was also a fantastic machine. I have noticed that the fan isnt as loud on the 255ext compaired to the 200dx(which wasn't that bothersome to begin with). My 255ext included a #9 air cooled torch and a #9 water cooled torch. Foot pedal, starter consumable kit, flow meter, gas hose, 220v to 115v adapter, and a basic setup guide. The machine ask comes with a 5yr warranty which is pretty nice. Great machines for a great price.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

That's the machine I was originally going to buy before researching a bit. All the features, 100% duty cycle, and all the parts/accessories included were big reasons to buy the 255 over the 200DV. I'm sure it's a solid machine. The price is also the big seller. The two machines I have are less than the one Miller machine I was originally going to buy, and the quality is the same so far (especially with the 100% duty cycle).

[@HamRadio200]

Can you let us know of any issues you've had with either of these machines in your shop? Thanks

[@ChrisWojnarski]

Thanks for the video just bought the 210 ext a couple months ago. Love the machine I do regret not getting the 250 instead just because the little higher amperage even no I have no use for that many amps right now. Wasn’t in the budget at the time. But still am in love with the 210ext. And am glad with my purchase. I also upgraded the TIG torches and foot pedal. Roto flex TIG torches their version of super flex cables. And their nova pedal which is almost identical with the ssc foot pedal. The torches aren’t as good as ck TIG torches and cables but I paid $50 for each torch upgrade = $100 for two torches when one ck 17 torch is $150 minimum. And $100 for the nava pedal upgrade. Overall I am really satisfied with my purchase. Hope this info can help along with the awesome video from this guy👍 👨‍🏭

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

The Advanced Square features of the 210 allow it to really push some thick stuff. I rarely need more than 200 amps here at the shop, so the 210 is a very realistic TIG machine to own. I just picked up a Nova pedal as well which is pretty incredible. I might review it after I have more time using it.

[@Stevemax07]

As a hobbiest, 1st TIG machine, would you spring for the 255 to have the easy setup and potential growth capability? About $560 dollar difference right now. The budget would allow it, but also don't want to spend money for features that most really would never use. Don't have any specific uses in mind yet....just getting into the hobby. Thanks!

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

Steven Crosbie I usually tell people the 210 is an extremely capable machine and it will probably never fail to do a job as a hobbyist, or working in an auto fab shop. Most people buy the 255 anyway haha. I flipped the easy setup on a few times and didn't really agree with it. That's probably because I am experienced and wanted to dial it in to my own settings. I don't have much opinion on the easy function because of that, but a couple people told me it helped them lay some beads right out of the box.

[@everlastgenerator]

Thanks for the feed back. The Nova Pedal is actually improved over the SSC and has twice the life span @ 2 million cycles along with a better cable strain relief and improved cable and some additional things inside that make a difference. The Nova has a high end Japanese potentiometer vs. the Mexican built potentiometer of the SSC. If you have the Ultraflex cables, they are identical. The torches are nearly too, and out of the same materials. The only difference is that the Rotaflex have a heavier duty built hinge. In our testing of CK vesus Nova, the Nova equaled or outperformed the CK on duty cycle. The Rotaflex torches are a better price overall. If you compare item for item in a name blind test, people will not tell the difference. At shows people have not been able to tell the difference.

[@TormentedVet_Reactions]

I have been looking at welders and you definitely got my attention with these. In your video you said that the 255 was 100% duty cycle but on Everlast's website it says its 60%. Is this a typo on their site?

[@trex1943]

100% at 200 amps, 60% at max. I caught that too...

[@jrstow86]

Been a blue guy since the beginning of time myself, but have been eyeballing the everlast machines and have been looking for reasons to not buy one. Definitely going to invest in one. Not sure how it's going to compare to a DX, but for the price and size... why not. One gripe I have, and it's not even worth mentioning, but 100% duty, like a dx and air cooled? That's some good assurance for the machine, but without running an external cooler...why? Thanks for the video, best in depth review on the machine!

@Brandon S -Another useless comment. Happy to hear you would not take a Everlast over the others based on NO experience with the welder. Go back to your room and play with your legos.

[@draytonPW]

You wont have to worry about outgrowing the 255ext. Htp is an awesome machine also but a little down on power. Plus the 210 ext is way cheaper. Htp is quieter though.

[@Lancedin321]

Are you using the accessories that came with the unit? What are your thoughts on the torch setup (torch, cable etc.)

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

Yes. Both torches are OEM torches included with the machine. The only thing different is the stubby kit on the 26 torch (not included with the machine). They are actually pretty good torches. I've definitely pushed them well above their ratings and haven't melted them like some of the cheap torches I've used over the years. You can always upgrade if you want though.

Just throwing this out there, but Everlast's website says the 255ext only has a 100% duty cycle at 200 amp and has a 60% duty cycle at 250. Still pretty good just wanted to point it out.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

American Machine You're correct (I didn't reiterate). I aimed it more at 100 because it's more than half of the range.

[@johndunbar2393]

Ah, I see. I didn't know if they had it wrong on their site or what. Still impressive nonetheless! These are looking more and more impressive the more videos I see of them.

[@eltoronegro]

I’d love to see a video on the welding table you use in this video. Have you made a video about this table?

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

+Virgil Landry Yes. It's called "Inexpensive DIY Fab Table"

[@fullyford]

im looking ar purchasing a my first tig. I like the reviews on the 210ext, but am also considering the everlasting power pro 265si. have you had any experience with the 265si. the plasma cutter would be nice to have.

[@WillCouch]

Silly question I know... Butttt just how loud are those fans in real life? and did they update these machines so they don't constantly stay on or is that still the case? thanks!

Great channel, Have a request. I have a simple Everlast mig now 140st I think. But want a tig. For simplicity the multi machines seem great but no one seems to go over the features that they don't do as appose to a dedicated machine. The other thing, I'd love to see a video with a multi machine set up for mig and tig. Is it simply having two different bottles ready to go in the rear? what would you need to flip flop from one to the other? I would think that is a common thing if your buying a multi in the first place. Thanks

Curious on something here. At what point in tig welding do you throw the basic theory of 1 amp per .001 thickness? How is 250 amp enough to weld .500 aluminum?

[@Subi_doo]

Are you limited only to the use of “Chinese” tig torches with Everlast or can you use CK or Weldcraft torches without modification or special dines adapters? How about pedal? Does it have the random Chinese connector that no one uses making it hard to get a replacement pedal because the plug is not used by anyone else? I see these as 2 very important wear and tear items that need to be able to get spares if needed or upgraded.

[@sixstringsid]

I didn't need a tig as I already had a tigwave 250, but I did need a mig. Imig 210 is a great machine too.

[@rockstarrcustomz]

I’ve been debating between the everlast or the AHP for my next welder. The old miller ab/p is a little large to be moving across the shop at 850lbs.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

rockstarrcustomz I have an AHP. It's a decent machine, but I'd grab an Everlast for better control and long life. It's a more serious machine than the AHP.

[@rockstarrcustomz]

The Fabrication Series . Excellent, I’ll do just that. I picked up the rouge bender on your recommendation and it was excellent. I trust your judgement.

[@steveortega3990]

I like to know the price of the 255 and the 210 the Everlast welder

[@troymorrison3623]

Hey Justin , I to would be very interested in you findings about the Advanced AC Pulse as im only self taught im struggling a little with setting this feature up. I have the 210 EXT and i to am very impressed with this machine with the knowledge i have so far, ive had some people tell me i must be using a Miller or Lincoln to have the ally welds come out so clean and there jaws drop when you tell them its an Everlast and like you said, they then say who or what brand is that. Any how thanks for the videos you do , much appreciated Cheers from Australia Troy

[@BackFire10mm]

Can you adjust post flow on both? Yes. Just noticed

[@caseyledford3662]

What is the difference in low range amperage between the machines? On the website the 255 advertises 3 amps DC and 5 amps AC, but the 210 does not mention in the specs.

[@jimjungle1397]

The 255EXT will START with 3 amps in DC and START with 5 amps in AC. The 210 EXT will START with 5 amps in both DC and AC but can operate down 3 amps.in DC and down to 5 amps AC. So in theory the 255 EXT can have a milder DC START than the 210 EXT. Not a huge difference though as 5 amps is still pretty low.

Hey brother! Love the content. Question: Newbie on a PowerTig 255 EXT, 3/32" lanthanated, 3/32" ER70-2 filler rods,No 5 cup, 10-12CFH, 2s preflow @50A, ramp for 2s up to100A, 5s down slope @50A, 5s post flow on 1/4" plate steel. Having major oxidation of the electrodes (I think). DCEN, 2T, HF arc start... Any thoughts? Learned stick welding (underwater) in the commercial diving industry. New to TIG.

[@TheFabricatorSeries]

You need more amps and smaller filler.

[@3295374]

Have you ever tested Everlast POWERPRO 164SI. Just looking for a all around Tig and Plasma cutter for a home shop for personal projects. Thanks Greg

[@PelicanIslandLabs]

I owned a 210 EXT and it had very loud fans. I would probably buy another if they had 'fan on demand' tech.

[@RocketRaspeed]

Are there any situations where a sine wave would be useful over a square wave or soft square? Am I going to miss it?
