It's an Everlast Power Tig 200DX and here's what the control panel looks like close up. Lots of knobs and switches to play with means lots of fun to be had.
Here's a photo of the insanely huge torch that it comes with. This will be the first thing that gets upgraded on the welder. The bank has to recuperate first though.
Here's my first project. I cut up and sand blasted the previous owners TC Brothers Battery box to make it work for my electronics enclosure. After all the cutting I obviously had to weld it all back up. Here's the base of the box all welded up.
Here's a photo of the sheet of steel I used to make the top. It's all cut up and ready to be folded up.
Sheet of steel all folded up via the use of a BFH and a block of wood.
Finish shot of the box with lid.
More to come at a much later day. Have vacation coming up as well as another week long work trip. Probably get back into the garage just in time to loose feeling in my fingers due to the temperature.
Hello, how's that 200Dx holding up. Any missing features you wish you had? Thanks for any input, I'm considering this model, it may be slightly upgraded version.
ReplyDeleteI'm quite happy with the welder itself. I'm still learning to TIG (self taught) so I don't see anything missing. A professional welder might, but if you were a professional you'd probably be eyeing a different color. My one piece of advice is to get the upgraded foot pedal by SSC. The default stock foot pedal is absolute crap. My first one failed and I've had to modify both of them to make them work even remotely okay. Use the default stock torch for a while but I'd keep my eye out for a different one as you get into it. I went with a CK Worldwide torch after a couple of months use.
DeleteThank you, appreciate the response/advice.
