hey guys, im about to buy an Everlast Powerpro 205 multi process welding machine (tig-stick-plasma cut), im super excited about it, once it arrives i'll be doing a nice writeup/ review of it.
wondering if anyone else has one here? Once i get confortable with it, we'll be making some nice parts for the car! you can check them out here: www.everlastgenerators.com -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

haha yea, i've already burned and shocked myself a bunch of times!
good stuff. got a little practice today on some steel, no filler wire. getting pretty good control of the torch, just need more time, and a bigger argon tank, this one is about done, pressure is under 500..lol also figured out that i had assembled the torch with the cup in backwards. i dont think it was affecting anything, but at least now i can use more than just a #7 cup. you guys using those gas saver cups? think i wanna try a setup here in the next couple weeks. i got a project to weld up for jims motor where im gonna need lots of stickout to reach down into a tight spot. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)

Remember the dark blue part is the only part that actualy cut's ****. so make that part large, while minimizing the rest, get the metal nice n red for a sec, and when you hit the OXY lever, keep it at an angle away from you, keep it close to your metal, and move it fast. that'll take a WHOLE lot of grind off your hands too!! lol. ****, look up a vid of that. when you see it, you'll understand. As for the saver cups, No. i've used them, and i'm not a fan. it makes you cut slower, and i like the whip action cut. it's how i was taught and just my pref. if you get any good outta it lmk for my home setup though. as for wanting to cut deep, take you a nice small rod, (3/32nd or so) and MAX the heat. it'll act just like a gouge, and save you some bucks. Plus you got that pin point precision, witch is something i've always like'd doing for real accurate cuts. You gotta kinda move the rod in and out like a saw a bit, but it's way more accurate at a distance than a torch will EVER be! Plus it wont fcuk anything else up in the process! EDIT: get you a #12 or #12R lens BTW. you're going to kill your eyes with that....
