That was one of the most genuine thank you's I have ever witnessed here on CZcams. You really are the American Dream, come to life. I am proud of you. Keep it going!!! Backing you 100%
Hi there. The inductance is what controls the crisp of the arc which when turned up it wets out the weld very effectively on thicker material for good penetration and lower settings will make it easier to weld thinner material. Hope this helps.
found your channel about 2 months ago , the dialog sounded interesting , so I continued to watch .FINALLY a no Bullshit builder who has a good time at his work , and pulls no punches about how he describes a project , and give a great amount of information as to how , and why a process is being used .! I am a 50 yr Carpenter union member with welding as a side hobby , Tay thank you for all you are showing us !
It just shows you how much that you have put into your shop and your information is great for us viewers. I am just a part time guy that enjoys seeing the sparks fly. LOL Thanks for all that you do for this channel and I will still watch every post that you put on the tube!
I love this channel, it's a great mix of tech, builds, and great humor. I discovered it about 2 months ago and did the deep dive, I have now watched all of them. It's awesome to see the progress and success you have had. Keep it up and we will stay along for the ride!
Just to let you know, I have followed Lift Arc Studios everywhere y’all put out content. I actually really want to learn how to weld and the amount of know how and knowledge that you all have is totally awesome! You are living the dream and you’re extremely fortunate to have everything you’ve got in your life Tae! ❤
Glad I found your site. Just starting this the same as you. I'm an old school welder learning these new machines. So happy I'm not the only one on this learning curve.
Hi from VT 🍁! I’m definitely not in the target demographic for your channel and never would have thought I’d sit through 4 hours of anyone’s video but something about your spirit, sense of humor and joy in what you do is contagious and I keep coming back. Awesome job y’all
This is what youtube should be! I follow a few other people that started their own business and they have been kind enough to bring their audience along. And as someone that is trying to start my own business I really appreciate when you go over the business side of things.
Great to see another product review and a fair assessment. As for the spatter…you might try keeping the MIG torch angled between 5° to 15° from vertical. This allows the shielding gas produced by the gun to envelop the weld area and protect it from contamination. If you hold the torch at an angle of 20° or more, it will push the gas to one side of the weld and cause the puddle to spatter. And of course material dimensions and form play a role in this technique.
Regarding the 'difficult to access in gloves' front panel dust shield: I found a deep socket of desired OD, put an extension on it for a handle and laid the socket portion in the factory finger detent. I then gently softened the area by the closed door detent with a heat gun and pushed the door closed over the socket radius. Took a couple of reheat tweaks to achieve the desired effect, but the mod looks OEM and works great. No more gloved hand vs. flat dust shield issues.
I bought the everlast tig welder and have always been a big Miller guy. I based my purchase off of your work! I thank you for opening my eyes to this great machine!
I recently took a welding class at the local maker space and began watching CZcams videos.. and your channel got recommended. I recognized Tay immediately from the TV series and I was hooked watching your first video with the $226 Vevor unit. This is a great video with what feels like your honest opinion about the Everlast unit. You also admitted when you didn't completely understand the unit and what you needed to learn. I'll be back!! Keep up the great videos and giving us your honest feedback, Cheers!
Inductance is dig it will increase the amperage when the arc is being smothered by shorter arc length. 6010 is f3 group celluolocitic deep pen mild deposition fast freezing rod. 7018 is f4 group iron powder low hydrogen mild pen mild to heavy deposition rod. When testing it's very difficult to get an idea how it's running on such thin material as the arc characteristics will change so dramatically with the temp of the base metal. Also toss toss that .030 in the toy box where it belongs. Run .035 min even better run .045 er70s6 . Type of shielding gas is also huge factor for spatter and arc stability.
What a classy intro Tay , your success is the result of you being you, along with hard work and honesty . I'm an avid viewer of your channel . How you are only sitting a 28k subs is beyond me . Clean the scale off of what your welding helps with weld spatter. You need more heat,ignore the presets
Tay and the gang very nice job reviewing and very helpful video this week. Tanks so much. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge on. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God Bless.
I have the Everlast Cyclone 212. It’s been an excellent machine but I have to agree about the powerset being off, it’s almost unusable once you get to 1/8th inch and above.. I’ve been running Lincoln Super Arc L-56, so I decided to check out they’re recommended settings for .030 wire, and they are almost spot on for this welder. I usually run it around 19v/280ipm for 1/8th inch with 60-80% inductance. Other than the powerset being off, I haven’t had a single problem with my 212 and I’ve had it for almost a year now. I had the Cyclone 200e before this one and it was also an excellent machine.
Have been gone from the channel for a bit and forgot how much I love Tay. Gotta get you guys in the rotation for my regular viewing. Thanks for the content.
I do like the dual feed rollers, most of the small machines in this price range have single feed rollers. Glad they provided you with a machine. Btw Black Dog Salvage was an awesome show and you guys did some incredible builds
Well said, Tay. You are one of the few who truly understands business and fabrication. Thank you for sharing the Everlast story and for thanking the viewers. Capt. Art
great video, I just went through welding school and have started working as a welder and love your videos. One of the guys in my class bought the Everlast multi-process and it was a pretty impressive machine. I think they are making great machines that are better value than the red and blue guys.
Re your problems with vertical-up welding with 7018 rod, around 45 minutes into the video. First, you can't manipulate 7018 with the whip-pause technique used for 6010. 7018 needs a steady travel speed with constant tight arc, that's why your arc kept going out when you tried to whip it like 6010. NOT a problem with the machine. Second, 7018 has a low-hydrogen flux that must be stored in a rod oven at about 350 F to prevent it from absorbing moisture from the air. Exposed to air for just a few hours at room temperature, the flux absorbs too much moisture and the rod will not burn properly. Low-hydrogen rods (7016, 7018, 7028) have inconvenient storage requirements, but they produce the highest quality weld metal, and best cosmetic appearance, of any SMAW electrode when used properly.
I own a cyclone 200e, powertig 200dv and a powerplasma 50s from Everlast. They have been amazing. All of these models were dual voltage which was mostly the apeal for buying them but I do love the features they have for the price. Would love to try the newer versions of each
Do you know what mate, I live in South Wales in the UK, and regularly watch your channel. You have had a free welder because your channel is great, and they know it, so grab them all with both arms because you deserve it. Keep going mate, Ignore any trolls, and keep doing the videos. I have a CNC plasma table in my home workshop, which is why I started watching you, and enjoy every video. You should make more of them. Have you thought of selling/sharing your DXF files. Thanks Dai
thanks for being transparent about how you got started and the influences of being on you tube .and how many people who help you along the way ..im a tradesman myself and been flirting with putting some effort into a channel . all my customers and friends tell me to get a channel going so your info is awesome.thanks i only get a few hours off on sundays to learn about you tube .
Your vids are great a no nonsense no drama BS just talented people doing what they do.. keep them coming ..p.s. how’s that motor saga going on the bandsaw?
Simply put Induction smooths out the arc while short arc mig welding. Some companies might call it dig control. Too much inductance can case the arc to be unstable and cause the weld to be porous, too little can cause the arc to be to hot and things burn up. Inductance controls the current rise every time the wire shorts out in the weld pool. Bob Moffit is cool.
just stumbled upon this.. keep up the good work. Keep it going! I was originally looking at welding videos to learn different things, found your other video on the cheap welder.. time to check off something on my list of things i want to learn that i do not know.
genuinly happy for you man, its cool that youve got so much support so early on in your dream. I belive that is a unique blessing that does not fall on many. the video topics are well selcted and you have a good organic camera pressence. In regard to adjusting the machine off of the sound of your arc, thats ok to do but you are limiting yourself to aiming for one type of transfer with out even considering a number of variables involved in achieving it. The othe forms of mig transfer being; spray, pulse spray, and globular each of which have unique characteristics and parameters and all of which sound much different than the "bacon crackle" synonamous with short circuit that you seemed to have be shooting for. maybe you already were aware of this, if so disregard, if not keep up the learning and the good videos friend.
well i loved watching black dog salvage because i like your dad find uses for old items in different ways so thats how i found your channel and i really enjoy restoring old buildings so that why you have my support just remember your viewers are those hard working blue collar folks that don't have time for bs reviews if you get something and try it don't sugar coat reviews for the big companies
I’m an occasional welder. If it stays stuck on the hottest August days thats good enough. I got the 211 I think. MiG and stick. Easy to use- great welds. I recommend this everlast without reservation. Best for the price and best at any price.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “yes I painted my nails a while ago! Get over it!!” Literally as I was wonder why you painted them. Couldn’t have been perfect timing. Absolutely love how you are direct and honest. Keep at it brother.
Just found your channel 26FEB23 and watched the 4 hour clean out demo, pour and build. I grew up on a commercial hog farm in East Tennessee. Old Sows and Boars will find a loose bar and try to escape to go root around. I was stick welding at 12 welding 1" pipe onto lag bolts and 2" pipe to angle to keep the breeding stock in their pens.
Extremely humble, great video man. Throw a tester on it, and test the amps to see how accurate it is. We have a an old Miller at work that runs cold compared to our newer Lincolns. I have a small yes welder out in my garage, and can guarantee you it's not running the amps, that I set it to.
if you get the machine higher up in the cart (if you put something beneath the machine basically) remove the handle and get it closer to the wooden shelf, maybe you could then open the door because of the arched tube from the cart. i don't know if i explained it well, but i think it wouldn't hurt to try. ;)
Very interesting to the point and most of all honest evaluation of a new product in a work related setting in a first time break in . Thank you for your opinion , it says a lot about you as a person who understands the welding business . Stuart in Ontario.................
Keep putting one foot in front of the other Tay for you are following the right path. I enjoy the content this channel puts out and always like to see some down to earth real people doing their thing. Keep up the good work.
So I've seen a couple of your fab videos in the past (recently).. anyway I watched the 4 hour (or so) remodel of your new shop. It was great! So you know what? This rambling you just did, well it earned a sub from me. I'm going to follow you and I'll probably buy a shirt at least. Thank you for putting in the hard work. You've earned the chance to showcase these products from big manufacturers. If there's ever any welders you get you don't need, I'd love one hahah!!
For 6010/6011 you probably have to switch to high cellulose mode. Not all inverters can run those rods, but I believe everlast has a high cellulose setting.
I totally agree with you on getting lazy with the settings, I worked at a place where we had parameters you had to stay in so I got uses to going to the book for settings and then got a job somewhere else and had a hell of a time trying to set-up my machine because I just couldn't remember what I had been welding at without the book.
I'm so glad I watched this Video. I do have the Everlast Tig welder Currently using a Miller 185 . And I think it's awesome welder. I was looking at a new Mig maybe I'll just keep mine.
loved the Vid, bought an Everlast (not the 262, but one I need) Thanks for the sit-down chat. was honest and hit home. Can't wait to put the new welder through some paces!
i am new to your channel and enjoying what you do. I am a refrigeration guy and Car/motorcycle guy. i truly enjoy brazing, welding and looking forward to learning how to get better.
I have two tig mma miller welders from the small to the biggest you can get, great and fantastic welders ever. I also have a mig that is 35 years old unknown make just know British made, it still welds like the day it was new, cost way less than blue red or green.
I tend to call the difficulty in first welds on the unit as honeymoon period. You and the equipment just married, it was arranged in a sense... As long as you are qualifying it all, which you have, it's all good. If you are going to try and capture a lot of welding, I'd add a flip down 'helmet' for the camera lens. And since this was a year ago, you've probably done so.... Have you done a 1 year anniv review? That works well w content. Re-Reviewing if it's valid, not just to fill time.
I’m fairly new to your channel but, I keep tuning in. You don’t take yourself too seriously but, you run a fan shop so your opinion does hold some weight. You’re easy to listen to and you and your team actually provide some pretty useful advice! Everlast have been really smart with their marketing by sending out a heap of machines to different people to get, and keep, their name out in the industry. What you do works for them and, hopefully, their products work for you. Keep it coming!
6010 is an all position, cellulose deep penetrating quick freeze rod generally used as a root pass in pipe fitting. 7018 is an all position, low hydrogen rod and is a high strength high deposit rod used after the 6010 for hot pass, fill and cap passes. 6010 works wet, not afraid of water. It can actually be too dry. 7018 has to be dry stored in an oven. Polarity is important dc electrode positive like flux core. The opposite of mig and tig.
Just starting tig welding and saw your first video today (the $200 / $2000 one) and I really like the vibe. Subbed and commenting for the algorithm. Godspeed!
Super glad your guy was all up in Premiere when I walked in. I'll definitely be spending some time here, and will definitely be giving you some kudos on my channel. Awesome, dude. I'm a fan!
Welder unboxing video with a beer buzz is the greatest video ever, totally unscriped. I'm now a subscriber. I'm not sure why I've never come across this channel but, glad I did. Cheers 🍾
Hi Tay, I watched you on Black Dog and enjoyed the show. Happy to see you again. From Blaine,Wa on the Canadian border in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
I'm more a wood-person but I like your explanations and it makes me interested into maybe once get into welding , tnx man; also watched a lot of salvage dawgs here in Belgium
I love there 253dpi mug welder it’s so smooth and if settings are right no spatter at all Also you can get 15ft versions of those guns for these welders have one on a 253 and omg it’s so amazing
I love my Everlast. In my experience with Everlast welders, they run a little hot compared to Lincoln and Miller. After some use you get used to it. Great welding machines!
Tay, I read somewhere that Everlast is going to send a rep to teach you about their welder and converting from manual dial settings to pre-programed units, so that'll be interesting to watch too (you're welcome Everlast...I'll be waiting for my welder too for the marketing tip)!
“Was like the arc was cutting out” I JUST WANNA SCREAM ITS THE GODDAMN POLARITY! I have 2 everlast welders they are great and I guess unless you are a pipe welder you cannot weld with stick SMH lol
Just found your channel. I’m within an hour or so of Roanoke so find it cool that your local. I also work in a fab shop. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
I have a 140e. You can fine tune auto set point wire speed and voltage settings slightly but only within a certain amount. I still prefer manual control. What’s nice is they limit voltage by wire size. Overall I’m really impressed with mine for the price
Guys, I am new to the channel, but the arc feature ( once you get use to it ) on my 256S is better than my 200amp Lincoln. I am betting those rods set around in the shop and took on moisture and need replaced and keep in dry storage. If you don't own an oven, find a used small ice box (Curb fine) and install a 60-100 light bulb in it. Your rods will love you for it (@@)! Also, Everlast has one of the best support teams out there. I have only need them twice, but spot on. At 70 I want be buying any more welders, but If I did, it would be an Everlast for sure. Bear in TX.
High inductance will give you a nice buttery weld puddle that's easy to manipulate and wet in the toes. Low inductance will make a stiffer narrower puddle that will leave a taller thinner bead. You want to do "mig like tig"? You want high inductance. It really changes the personality of the welder
About a decade ago when Everlast first came, I bought a plasma cutter that was good for up to five eights inch. If I remember correctly I put the 220 plug on it and honestly never used it only because I was a local truck driver and I worked many hours a day at the time it was a hell of a deal, I gave it to my nephew along with a Miller 130 that I had because he wanted to start doing some car work and building things for demolition cars. I should follow up to see how It works Honestly, I do love that cart that the new machine is in. I have a brother-in-law that lives over the Philippines that he’s just starting his own welding business. I might have to reach out to the company to see if they have brokers or sellers over there.
From what I've read, too much spatter can also be a polarity issue when MIG welding. Also, when stick welding, usually it's the rod who dictates the polarity and not the machine. So maybe the machine has a firmware bug there, but you could simply just test it yourself, and plug it the other way around, or as you would plug the miller, for instance. It should not harm the machine, I think. It would just work better or worse
Thanks to you I just received my sub $200 (was on sale) Vevor Tig welder and I did use your link. My argon cylinder and regulator should be in by Tuesday. Looking forward to my new hobby. I’ve been flux core welding and have grown tired of the spatter.
So I went out to my garage and got my everlast cyclone 200e set up for some 1/8” thick tubing and ran some passes on the auto set feature. At 241IPM and 18.7 V, it does great as long as I do what I’m supposed to do. Idk why the settings would be much different on yours??
Just put a riser block under the welder and it will open and miss the slop of the tube. Great videos I'm new to this channel but I've been enjoying it. Including that 4 hour vid of you guys remodeling the shop haha
Thank you for the video. If you put a spacer under the welder ,you would be able to open the door. Very nice heavy duty drive system and and Mig gun. Not and expert but it almost seems like you need to change your wire brand and check your 220 amperage at the plug. Just a suggestion. Great looking product. Thanks again
Welder/fitter here. We run pretty much everything from 3/16ths to half inch at 24/440 to 26/475. We use Miller 251's and 252's so the Everlast may be different but your running way to cold. The sound should be like frying bacon. The only time we run 16-18 volts is when were doing sheet metal.
Use the right size tip to reduce spatter. I believe you said you used a .035 tip instead of a .030 tip which is obviously a little to large. Love the videos, i am a huge fan! It’s awesome to get to see demos before buying a product. That $200 Vevor impressed the hell out of me 😂
You definitely have earned a new follower your content is entertaining you fuck up a lot and we learn a lot it's great but I did want to mention stick isn't necessarily a old outdated method of welding just different purposes it still very much has its place. Keep welding less grinding thanks for the content!!
@ 36:00 it sounds like it’s running nice 👍🏻 great vids! The stick portion, 44:50 it sounds like you should try switching the polarity like he said his trailblazer runs at. She sounds like it’s backwards, despite what the settings are telling you.
@liftarcstudios thanks for your awesome work and time put into helping newbs like myself. I do have one question, is there any reason you don't use more ventilation and proper attire your emplyees are working (the bare arms 12" from the stick weld arc)? The cloud going up and under your mask is huge and has to be having a negative health effect as well as the UV burn? I'm trying to figure out ventilation for my upcoming shop but don't see you using anything and just breathing in the weld cloud plume? Insight would be great!
This video was genuine. I have an everlast & it’s great but have the same issues with figuring out the settings & the pre set sucks . I have the cyclone 200ES. Does MIG FLUX & STICK But once you figure it out the thing is definitely worth the purchase for the price . Which has gone up drastically since last yr so get them while the price is still reasonable.
Every machine I’ve had I usually hate the presets, that said I have bought Everlast before and will continue to do so .My only gripe I have had I took up with Oleg at Fabtech . That was about shipping I live 3 miles from their facility. My short conversation with Oleg in Atlanta was great he believes in his products and i appreciate that. I have plans for 2 new machines this year. However I did give him a bit of grief on engine drive welders. He explained the hurdles it takes to bring one to market. Bottom line I enjoyed the video and I would like to see a follow up in the future
Tay, place your Everlast Cyclone welder on a 2x10 (or however wide your welder is) to lift it up slightly off the shelf of your cart. That will give you some additional clearance between the mig wire access door and the frame of the cart.
That was one of the most genuine thank you's I have ever witnessed here on CZcams. You really are the American Dream, come to life. I am proud of you. Keep it going!!! Backing you 100%
altho under that MOW AHEAD sign i think he peed on his wall
Your "American Dream" is a man wearing finger nail polish. God this country has gone to crap. Sad to see.
Hi there. The inductance is what controls the crisp of the arc which when turned up it wets out the weld very effectively on thicker material for good penetration and lower settings will make it easier to weld thinner material. Hope this helps.
On the welder door around 18:00 -- Don't have to cut the door, just have to raise it up a few inches. Build a drawer to put under it. You're welcome.

I love my everlast dc inverter all in one welder. 8yrs still going strong plus two of my buddies bought them and also love them.
I do like the dual feed rollers, most of the small machines in this price range have single feed rollers. Glad they provided you with a machine.

thanks for being transparent about how you got started and the influences of being on you tube .and how many people who help you along the way ..im a tradesman myself and been flirting with putting some effort into a channel . all my customers and friends tell me to get a channel going so your info is awesome.thanks i only get a few hours off on sundays to learn about you tube .
Your vids are great a no nonsense no drama BS just talented people doing what they do.. keep them coming ..p.s. how’s that motor saga going on the bandsaw?
Good to see honest reviews Good or Bad and your comments while testing!
Simply put Induction smooths out the arc while short arc mig welding. Some companies might call it dig control. Too much inductance can case the arc to be unstable and cause the weld to be porous, too little can cause the arc to be to hot and things burn up. Inductance controls the current rise every time the wire shorts out in the weld pool. Bob Moffit is cool.
just stumbled upon this.. keep up the good work. Keep it going! I was originally looking at welding videos to learn different things, found your other video on the cheap welder.. time to check off something on my list of things i want to learn that i do not know.
Been a fan of your work back to the Blackdog days (which I miss) Subscribed for yah glad you found your dream job with people you enjoy being around.
genuinly happy for you man, its cool that youve got so much support so early on in your dream. I belive that is a unique blessing that does not fall on many. the video topics are well selcted and you have a good organic camera pressence. In regard to adjusting the machine off of the sound of your arc, thats ok to do but you are limiting yourself to aiming for one type of transfer with out even considering a number of variables involved in achieving it. The othe forms of mig transfer being; spray, pulse spray, and globular each of which have unique characteristics and parameters and all of which sound much different than the "bacon crackle" synonamous with short circuit that you seemed to have be shooting for. maybe you already were aware of this, if so disregard, if not keep up the learning and the good videos friend.
Ive grown fond of your videos, the vevor welder video got my attention but I watched the shop renovation videos and fell in love.
well i loved watching black dog salvage because i like your dad find uses for old items in different ways so thats how i found your channel and i really enjoy restoring old buildings so that why you have my support just remember your viewers are those hard working blue collar folks that don't have time for bs reviews if you get something and try it don't sugar coat reviews for the big companies
I’m an occasional welder. If it stays stuck on the hottest August days thats good enough. I got the 211 I think. MiG and stick. Easy to use- great welds. I recommend this everlast without reservation. Best for the price and best at any price.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 “yes I painted my nails a while ago! Get over it!!” Literally as I was wonder why you painted them. Couldn’t have been perfect timing. Absolutely love how you are direct and honest. Keep at it brother.
Just found your channel 26FEB23 and watched the 4 hour clean out demo, pour and build. I grew up on a commercial hog farm in East Tennessee. Old Sows and Boars will find a loose bar and try to escape to go root around. I was stick welding at 12 welding 1" pipe onto lag bolts and 2" pipe to angle to keep the breeding stock in their pens.
Extremely humble, great video man. Throw a tester on it, and test the amps to see how accurate it is. We have a an old Miller at work that runs cold compared to our newer Lincolns. I have a small yes welder out in my garage, and can guarantee you it's not running the amps, that I set it to.
if you get the machine higher up in the cart (if you put something beneath the machine basically) remove the handle and get it closer to the wooden shelf, maybe you could then open the door because of the arched tube from the cart. i don't know if i explained it well, but i think it wouldn't hurt to try. ;)
Very interesting to the point and most of all honest evaluation of a new product in a work related setting in a first time break in . Thank you for your opinion , it says a lot about you as a person who understands the welding business . Stuart in Ontario.................
Keep putting one foot in front of the other Tay for you are following the right path. I enjoy the content this channel puts out and always like to see some down to earth real people doing their thing. Keep up the good work.
So I've seen a couple of your fab videos in the past (recently).. anyway I watched the 4 hour (or so) remodel of your new shop. It was great! So you know what? This rambling you just did, well it earned a sub from me. I'm going to follow you and I'll probably buy a shirt at least. Thank you for putting in the hard work. You've earned the chance to showcase these products from big manufacturers. If there's ever any welders you get you don't need, I'd love one hahah!!
Tay, we support you because of how real and down to earth you are. You earned this.
Many thanks friend!
For 6010/6011 you probably have to switch to high cellulose mode. Not all inverters can run those rods, but I believe everlast has a high cellulose setting.
Congratulations to videographer, the video colors are sharp.👍
Your channel just came across the feed. Was a fan of your previous endeavor and your work. Glad I found it
I totally agree with you on getting lazy with the settings, I worked at a place where we had parameters you had to stay in so I got uses to going to the book for settings and then got a job somewhere else and had a hell of a time trying to set-up my machine because I just couldn't remember what I had been welding at without the book.
I have both an everlast i-Mig 200 and 210ext. Both have been rock solid badass machines.
I'm so glad I watched this Video.
I do have the Everlast Tig welder
Currently using a Miller 185 . And I think it's awesome welder. I was looking at a new Mig maybe I'll just keep mine.
loved the Vid, bought an Everlast (not the 262, but one I need) Thanks for the sit-down chat. was honest and hit home. Can't wait to put the new welder through some paces!
i am new to your channel and enjoying what you do. I am a refrigeration guy and Car/motorcycle guy. i truly enjoy brazing, welding and looking forward to learning how to get better.
I have two tig mma miller welders from the small to the biggest you can get, great and fantastic welders ever. I also have a mig that is 35 years old unknown make just know British made, it still welds like the day it was new, cost way less than blue red or green.
Awesome story dude!!!! i love hearing stories like this! You can do anything you set your mind to!!
I tend to call the difficulty in first welds on the unit as honeymoon period. You and the equipment just married, it was arranged in a sense... As long as you are qualifying it all, which you have, it's all good. If you are going to try and capture a lot of welding, I'd add a flip down 'helmet' for the camera lens. And since this was a year ago, you've probably done so.... Have you done a 1 year anniv review? That works well w content. Re-Reviewing if it's valid, not just to fill time.
I’m fairly new to your channel but, I keep tuning in. You don’t take yourself too seriously but, you run a fan shop so your opinion does hold some weight. You’re easy to listen to and you and your team actually provide some pretty useful advice! Everlast have been really smart with their marketing by sending out a heap of machines to different people to get, and keep, their name out in the industry. What you do works for them and, hopefully, their products work for you. Keep it coming!
6010 is an all position, cellulose deep penetrating quick freeze rod generally used as a root pass in pipe fitting. 7018 is an all position, low hydrogen rod and is a high strength high deposit rod used after the 6010 for hot pass, fill and cap passes. 6010 works wet, not afraid of water. It can actually be too dry. 7018 has to be dry stored in an oven. Polarity is important dc electrode positive like flux core. The opposite of mig and tig.
I have the same model tig love it. Can't wait to hear about that mig welder . Have been looking to git on. Be brutal on your test.
Just starting tig welding and saw your first video today (the $200 / $2000 one) and I really like the vibe. Subbed and commenting for the algorithm. Godspeed!
Super glad your guy was all up in Premiere when I walked in. I'll definitely be spending some time here, and will definitely be giving you some kudos on my channel. Awesome, dude. I'm a fan!
Welder unboxing video with a beer buzz is the greatest video ever, totally unscriped. I'm now a subscriber. I'm not sure why I've never come across this channel but, glad I did. Cheers 🍾
Keep making awesome video's. And I'll keep watching them. It fun and entertaining. And from time tot time I even learn something.
Hi Tay, I watched you on Black Dog and enjoyed the show. Happy to see you again. From Blaine,Wa on the Canadian border in the beautiful Pacific Northwest
Hi, you can reduce spatter by increasing the inductance, this reduces the curcuit dip frequency hence less metal being banged in at a time
The Everlast Tig Welder runs great. We used it in production Industrial Pipe Welding
I'm more a wood-person but I like your explanations and it makes me interested into maybe once get into welding , tnx man; also watched a lot of salvage dawgs here in Belgium
I love there 253dpi mug welder it’s so smooth and if settings are right no spatter at all
Also you can get 15ft versions of those guns for these welders have one on a 253 and omg it’s so amazing
I remember that video ,Great channel, Stay humble.
I love my Everlast. In my experience with Everlast welders, they run a little hot compared to Lincoln and Miller. After some use you get used to it. Great welding machines!
Tay, I read somewhere that Everlast is going to send a rep to teach you about their welder and converting from manual dial settings to pre-programed units, so that'll be interesting to watch too (you're welcome Everlast...I'll be waiting for my welder too for the marketing tip)!
I own a Everlast PowerPRO 256 which I've had for 10 years, and other than an occasional hi-freq start issue it has been bullet-proof.
“Was like the arc was cutting out” I JUST WANNA SCREAM ITS THE GODDAMN POLARITY! I have 2 everlast welders they are great and I guess unless you are a pipe welder you cannot weld with stick SMH lol
Great video cool review and the videos all ways make me laugh Thankyou. Great work guys👍👍
Just found your channel. I’m within an hour or so of Roanoke so find it cool that your local. I also work in a fab shop. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Bob Moffet is THE welding guru 🤘👍
Great vid guys, you have some fun hours of learning ahead enjoy ✌️
He also does a brilliant and totally simple explanation into inductance settings
I have a 140e. You can fine tune auto set point wire speed and voltage settings slightly but only within a certain amount. I still prefer manual control. What’s nice is they limit voltage by wire size. Overall I’m really impressed with mine for the price
I love my 140e never given me any problems once I got it set right for what I’m doing
Kudo 's to you Tay. Congratulations on your channel man keep up the good content.
Guys, I am new to the channel, but the arc feature ( once you get use to it ) on my 256S is better than my 200amp Lincoln. I am betting those rods set around in the shop and took on moisture and need replaced and keep in dry storage. If you don't own an oven, find a used small ice box (Curb fine) and install a 60-100 light bulb in it. Your rods will love you for it (@@)! Also, Everlast has one of the best support teams out there. I have only need them twice, but spot on. At 70 I want be buying any more welders, but If I did, it would be an Everlast for sure. Bear in TX.
High inductance will give you a nice buttery weld puddle that's easy to manipulate and wet in the toes. Low inductance will make a stiffer narrower puddle that will leave a taller thinner bead. You want to do "mig like tig"? You want high inductance. It really changes the personality of the welder
About a decade ago when Everlast first came, I bought a plasma cutter that was good for up to five eights inch. If I remember correctly I put the 220 plug on it and honestly never used it only because I was a local truck driver and I worked many hours a day at the time it was a hell of a deal, I gave it to my nephew along with a Miller 130 that I had because he wanted to start doing some car work and building things for demolition cars. I should follow up to see how It works Honestly, I do love that cart that the new machine is in. I have a brother-in-law that lives over the Philippines that he’s just starting his own welding business. I might have to reach out to the company to see if they have brokers or sellers over there.
From what I've read, too much spatter can also be a polarity issue when MIG welding.
Also, when stick welding, usually it's the rod who dictates the polarity and not the machine.
So maybe the machine has a firmware bug there, but you could simply just test it yourself, and plug it the other way around, or as you would plug the miller, for instance.
It should not harm the machine, I think. It would just work better or worse
Thanks to you I just received my sub $200 (was on sale) Vevor Tig welder and I did use your link. My argon cylinder and regulator should be in by Tuesday. Looking forward to my new hobby. I’ve been flux core welding and have grown tired of the spatter.
So I went out to my garage and got my everlast cyclone 200e set up for some 1/8” thick tubing and ran some passes on the auto set feature. At 241IPM and 18.7 V, it does great as long as I do what I’m supposed to do. Idk why the settings would be much different on yours??
Just put a riser block under the welder and it will open and miss the slop of the tube. Great videos I'm new to this channel but I've been enjoying it. Including that 4 hour vid of you guys remodeling the shop haha
Thank you for the video. If you put a spacer under the welder ,you would be able to open the door. Very nice heavy duty drive system and and Mig gun. Not and expert but it almost seems like you need to change your wire brand and check your 220 amperage at the plug. Just a suggestion. Great looking product. Thanks again
Welder/fitter here. We run pretty much everything from 3/16ths to half inch at 24/440 to 26/475. We use Miller 251's and 252's so the Everlast may be different but your running way to cold. The sound should be like frying bacon. The only time we run 16-18 volts is when were doing sheet metal.
Holding a beer in one hand and a knife in the other at the same time, now that's a good recommendation for review expertise and credibility.
Use the right size tip to reduce spatter. I believe you said you used a .035 tip instead of a .030 tip which is obviously a little to large.
Love the videos, i am a huge fan! It’s awesome to get to see demos before buying a product. That $200 Vevor impressed the hell out of me 😂
You definitely have earned a new follower your content is entertaining you fuck up a lot and we learn a lot it's great but I did want to mention stick isn't necessarily a old outdated method of welding just different purposes it still very much has its place. Keep welding less grinding thanks for the content!!
@ 36:00 it sounds like it’s running nice 👍🏻 great vids! The stick portion, 44:50 it sounds like you should try switching the polarity like he said his trailblazer runs at. She sounds like it’s backwards, despite what the settings are telling you.
Polarity backwards 100%
On my MTS275 I’m running 18.7 and 222 feed on 1/8” with .030 wire
@liftarcstudios thanks for your awesome work and time put into helping newbs like myself. I do have one question, is there any reason you don't use more ventilation and proper attire your emplyees are working (the bare arms 12" from the stick weld arc)? The cloud going up and under your mask is huge and has to be having a negative health effect as well as the UV burn? I'm trying to figure out ventilation for my upcoming shop but don't see you using anything and just breathing in the weld cloud plume? Insight would be great!
This video was genuine. I have an everlast & it’s great but have the same issues with figuring out the settings & the pre set sucks . I have the cyclone 200ES. Does MIG FLUX & STICK But once you figure it out the thing is definitely worth the purchase for the price . Which has gone up drastically since last yr so get them while the price is still reasonable.
Every machine I’ve had I usually hate the presets, that said I have bought Everlast before and will continue to do so .My only gripe I have had I took up with Oleg at Fabtech . That was about shipping I live 3 miles from their facility. My short conversation with Oleg in Atlanta was great he believes in his products and i appreciate that. I have plans for 2 new machines this year. However I did give him a bit of grief on engine drive welders. He explained the hurdles it takes to bring one to market. Bottom line I enjoyed the video and I would like to see a follow up in the future
Don't cut the door of the welder.
Just take top handle off and lift the welder 4 inches and the door will clear the frame
Could also notch/modify the tubes to accept the welder. It is a metal fab shop.
I love that you have some crazy videos that pop off lol
Tay, place your Everlast Cyclone welder on a 2x10 (or however wide your welder is) to lift it up slightly off the shelf of your cart. That will give you some additional clearance between the mig wire access door and the frame of the cart.
Smart!
