2011 Everlast PowerTig 250EXT & 315EXT Tig/Stick PULSE DIGITAL WELDER

[EVERLAST]

For 2011, we are introducing our line of all new PowerTig EX-T series of digital AC/DC Pulse welders. This unit has been developed with joint technical development and input from S. Korea. As we began thinking about new product lines after the spring introduction and success of the PowerTig line in 2009, we began a sincere effort to offer a line of units with even higher technical capability and function. Along with our thinking was a simplified design with plug and play ability of parts for quick and economical service. This is the result of our efforts.

Production and delivery is scheduled to begin early next year with models ranging from 250, 315, and even up to 400 amps will eventually be produced. For a digital welder, the controls are simple and intuitive to use. Graphical representation of each function is represented that
makes setting the correct function quick and easy. Improvements in
design and function will be apparent over our current series, with AC bias control which will allow individual setting of the + and - half cycle of the AC current. Combined with pulse, this is an excellent feature for controlling heat input, tungsten shape and cleaning width on Aluminum. Advanced wave form control with varying AC wave form will be available as well to adjust arc characteristics as well while welding
aluminum. Improved stick welding ability improves 6010 performance
over the current EX series. Duty cycle will be a full 60% at 250 amps and 315 amps. Water cooler lines exit the front for convenient hook up. New and improved torches and accessories will be offered.

Pictured is our pre-production model that will be at Fabtech in Atlanta.

But for the current PowerTig fans and customers, don't worry, the current series is here to stay. You may see a few spill over improvements in the current line later down the road, but we want to improve our offerings in the higher end product line.

[bmyers]

Wow, looks like a pretty sweet machine. When is the everlast sub arc gonna be out?

[lugweld]

It is already, but by special order.

[mp006ltk]

Are these single or 3 phase machines?
Is the water cooler built in or just plumbed through the machine?
Will these be getting the same quick connects as the other TIG machines?
Any preliminary price point?
Thanks!

[lugweld]

The 250 will be single phase 220, with later offerings being dual phase, 220/460. For now the 315 and 400 will be 3 phase, scheduled for 460V production.

We are still deciding on the final selection of fittings that will appear on the unit.The lines do run through the cooler.

[Ed.]

Are there any changes coming to the Powerpro 256 units?

[lugweld]

No, no major changes in the current line. These are not changes, but rather additions. Nothing major has been changed with the current line. We have some small minor things here and there, but mostly to do with accessories.

[bmyers]

When did the sub-arc machines become available by special order? When I ordered my machine I aske mike and mark both about it and they figured in November if I remember right... and lugweld, do you work for everlast in sales, or are you just selling/promoting the machines locally?

[lugweld]

I am Mark...

I may not have been clear with you or you may not have understood what I meant. However, I don't recall having a direct conversation about it recently with anyone. We have had them available for a year or so now. But again it is a prepay, special build to order only item. In the future we may stock the machines, sometime early next year now as we move more industrial product into our line up. Sorry, for the crappy quality. I cut it from our international industrial catalog and didn't have time to clean up the edges. This image was cut from a pdf and then transferred expanded and resaved several times as well...but you get the idea. I could have glossed over this fact, since most people only want stocking items. We have multiple items available this way and have had some time with greater industrial umppphh...but we do not stock all we sell. We sell internationally different products than we do here, mostly in Europe and a few central/south American countries. All of which could be stocked here, but aren't due to market demands.

[bmyers]

ahhh I see! Hey Mark. I bought my multipurpose machine from you back in June. I am always interested in seeing all the products you have to offer. I am interested in learning about the industrial level machines you have to offer!

[mp006ltk]

I just preordered one of the 250EXT's. When you get a chance can you post photos of the back side connections? Also will this unit match up and sit on top of the new cooler like a miller dynasty 350?

[lugweld]

Not right now. We are using our standard cooler which will set to the side.

[mp006ltk]

I thought Alex said there would be a new one made for the EXT units? I didn't mean right now. Obviously, the welder won't even be available unitl January. Thanks!

[EVERLAST]

New ExT will be in stock very soon ! Thank you for all who order them !

[mp006ltk]

I posted on the everlast website forum but nobody replied.

I wanted to follow up on on a post I made there a month ago. The last reply said that there was some reworking of the pannels. I wanted to see if this was sorted out.


1.)
Do you have photo's of the reworked units? (Specifically connections and panels)

2.)
Alex said there would be a custom water cooler made for the EXT units. What is the status of that? I think Lug replied on here that there wouldn't but I wanted a final answer. Alex said there would be when I ordered and that it would be ready around the same time.

3.)
Is there an apox. ship date now that we're firmly in January?

Thanks!

[lugweld]

No, it is going to take time. Things have to be produced, tested, evaluated then produced, shipped etc. Oleg was perhaps a little optimistic when he originally announced a date. It will be here, but much later. And I am not going to put a firm date on it. There are no problems or anything unexepected. All is going according to plan, but it takes time to get everything in place and the testing we do to make sure all is right with the world takes time. New product takes lots of planning. The water cooler right now is the last thing on the list. We are working on it, but the current cooler will work quite well with it.

[joe6]

That new welder looks SICK!!!!!!! Any chance someone can pm me the price on the 250EXT?

[mp006ltk]

I wouldn't hold my breath.

:laugh:

The price they gave me was great, but since they couldn't ever deliver, I canceled my order. Ordered 250EXT in Nov, for Jan delivery, and I still don't think the darn thing exists.

I bit the bullet and (admitidly) overpaid for a miller. I like it, but it wasn't worth $2900.00. On the other hand it beats waiting for vaporware, and it runs on 120v if need be.

[lugweld]

It does exist. Its in testing now at location close by to me. I've had a number of very positive comments about the unit, and its arc stablity and starting properties. We are making admittedly a couple changes to the functions, so it is taking more time than planned to put into full production to get the thing 100% the way we want it.

[cwlewis123]

I'm looking to purchase a PowerTig 250 but think I should hold out to see what the 250EXT will do differently. I just wish someone would be honest and at least give an estimate of when it will be available and the final specs with pictures. Even a date range would be helpful. If not I may have to look into a used Syncrowave 200 or 250. Any answer would be greatly appreciated. http://www.weldingweb.com/images/smilies/help.gif

[lugweld]

We have been honest. We decided to add some extra functionality, and it takes time to test and make sure things are right. When it is completed, we will announce it here. We want to bring it to everyone, but it takes time and a whole lot of coordination.

[cwlewis123]

Sorry Lugweld. Maybe "honest" was a poor choice of words. What I wanted was for someone to give some type of time frame like within 3, 6, 9 months or whenever. Someone must have some idea even, if its off by a month or so in the end. I feel you have a lot of people waiting for this same information. Also, if what I have read so far is what the EXT will be like and the price is right, you will have a real winner. By the way, thanks for the fast response.

[joe6]

Any updates. Price, pictures, new features? Thanks

I do not like the control panel on this machine at all. They ruined it as far as I am concerned. I like the model that has knobs. This one looks like my kitchen microwave oven.

[Topaz32]

Very interested in seeing info and pricing on the 250EXT machines.

[EVERLAST]

Very interested in seeing info and pricing on the 250EXT machines.

Topaz32

Retail on 250EXT will be 2100$-2200$ on production model we bump up few ranges.
you can email Mark at mark@everlastwelders.com for detailed specs. First 20 people
that will order the unit will definitely get a good deal , since we need people to talk about it !

[Topaz32]

I will give him a call Friday. Thanks for the responding.

[EVERLAST]

Some picture before shipping ...

[NTPRO]

This unit looks like a winner ,And looks like it will get you across the finish line first.All I can say is how fast can I recieve one are they all sold out or can we still get one of the first set. All I can say is I want one. Sincerely NT Ntpro ps just excited to see real thing

[cdlale]

Where's the power cord? It seems tobe missing.

[lugweld]

The cord is added by the customer actually. Under the cover is the access point.

[brucer]

no power cord included?

[EVERLAST]

no power cord included?

brucer

12ft cord will be included with each unit and no plug !

[NTPRO]

So have they finally come to port????

[ASE_MasterTech]

So you have to 'wire' this machine yourself? (ie-remove cover)

[lugweld]

No you don't remove the cover. The connection block is on the outside. If you'll look at the pictures of the unit, the connection block on the rear of the unit is in the upper right hand side. The picture below with the unit wired is with the plastic block cover removed.

[Geoff]

Hi, any updates on the ETA for the PowerTig 250EXT?

[Geoff]

Hmm, crickets...

Are any Everlasters watching this thread?

[lugweld]

Geoff we'll update when we get the final delivery notice. We held up shipping of them until we verified a few things in person at the factory, then they had a long holiday after that. Best I can say is that they are on the way.

[Geoff]

Ok, thanks for the update.

[drivethruboy54]

Oleg

I have been looking for another, bigger, inverter for awhile now. Im in Menlo Park, anyway we could set something up for me to look at one of these units, maybe do a review?

[EVERLAST]

As of dec.01 first batch of 250ext sold out next batch jan.10.12

we only have 315ext units left

[Weldsman]

I am a welder in the aerospace industry and currently use a Miller Dynasty 700. The EXT is very compelling from its feature set. Do you have any dealers or upcoming shows in the Dallas Tx area? I would very much like to see/use a unit if possible.

call me or PM me your number , i think we can work something out

[Geoff]

So, how does one order a 250EXT? What is the pricing? Thanks, Geoff.

[lugweld]

Geoff,
We are out of stock again, but will have some more soon.

[Geoff]

What is the pricing and what is "soon"? Is the warranty five years, or does it fall under the new three year warranty policy? Thanks, Geoff.

[lugweld]

I expect early-mid Feb. As we announced all AC/DC tigs will all under the 3+2 year program.

[astaindsoul5446]

I expect early-mid Feb. As we announced all AC/DC tigs will all under the 3+2 year program.

Why the warranty change? When I looked at your site it still said five year warranty ... is the +2 a extended plan. ? If so what's the pricing?

[astaindsoul5446]

any one taying a pention?

[EVERLAST]

we are in the process. we will post prices and new terms and conditions soon.
will take us few month to get all done correctly

[Canoe2fish]

I do not like the control panel on this machine at all. They ruined it as far as I am concerned. I like the model that has knobs. This one looks like my kitchen microwave oven.

Agreed!! Shame

[astaindsoul5446]

well heres the deal, i plan on buying one in the next couple of weeks. so i would like to know what the deal is before i hand over my money........ It seems the only one you can get a straight answer from is lug........

[lugweld]

Agreed!! Shame


The knobs are still available on the EX. You can't have digital control with memory without buttons.

[lugweld]

Until we get the new warranty posted the current one is still in effect.

[astaindsoul5446]

thank you for the clear response Lug.

[pslwelder]

How does the 250ext machine work with anodized aluminum? Has any testing been done?

[lugweld]

With the amplitude offset, (ability to set half cycle AC + and - amps relative to each other) it works quite well.The cleaning lines can virtually disappear, while maintaining a good puddle.

[Storts]

I expect early-mid Feb. As we announced all AC/DC tigs will all under the 3+2 year program.
Good Evening,Could you explain the 3-2 warentee program,,as you know I was a Riland dealer,And Yes,all Of mine,and all sold are still working well,But with the death of Ron, I was led to believe that Riland was starting uo again,,
Ive Looked a lot at Longevety on You Tube,and talked to alot of there "stars" on U tube,,I was after Ron for so Long to get a 250 tig,,and they would FLY off the shelf,But under his Problems,I understand why,he had more pressing thing on his mind,,
So,how can you sell me on selling Everlast???? over Longevety?? As I really like what they have to offer,and being in the welding business for 35+ years,I just didnt fall of the turnip truck,,Just seems here,and Believe me,I did not come here to start trouble,But,seems theres no leader?????? Thanks,Jack Connors!:)

PS,, Longevety DOES NOT KNOW!!!!!!,Im even posting this,,,FYI!!!!!!!,,Thanks again,Jack

Did you order one? from the guy that parks a small forklift on a piece of aluminum gang plank and claims it supports 11,000 lbs, you do know most of the weight on an unloaded fork lift is on the rear wheels and that you have to divide the weight by 4 as you have 4 wheels.
