Sorry, I won't touch used stuff, especially since the Everlast stuff comes with a *5* year warranty.

The GMAW unit you are looking at looks fine for what you want to do with it.

The GTAW I would recommend with Everlast:

2014 Everlast PowerTig 200DX 200AMP 110/220 DUAL VOLTAGE PULSE ACDC WELDER

That will do up to 1/4" Aluminium and 5/16" Stainless

As an owner of a Everlast PowerPro 205s Tig/Stick/Plasma machine I say go for it. Love the versatility of my machine and the fact it's a 200a TIG I don't need a shop crane to move.

Great to hear good experiences!
The Amazon feedback looks like that if you do get a dud, Everlast will take care of you right away.
If you hook-up with a solid machine, it'll last a while under almost extreme conditions.

Gotta love the IGBT tech that allows the boxes to be built so small / portable.
I see that even Miller has gone that route with a new line welders.

I know this thread doesn't get a lot of traffic, but I also have an Everlast PowerPro 256S and have had a good experience with it.

My foot pedal died within a year, and they sent me a replacement no questions asked. I would also recommend ditching the factory torch and getting a quality one immediately. Something like a CK unit.

Happy to help. If you have any questions on what you need to get done with a machine let me know I will look it over and let ya know if it will meet the demands.


Nah you don't need to spend that much unless you are goin thick. I unfortunately do mostly structural work so I am damned to spend extra coin..


Edit: I am really excited to be able to get a machine with Pulse to play with some more

Pulse is a cool function but I'm too new to see all of its advantages. It's nice to help set pace and heat input if you crank it down way low and it tightens the arc up high. I believe my Everlast will do .5hz to 250hz. I can see it being good for automated welding with a fixed torch and a positioner.

I work for a large solar inverter manufacturer and we use Infineon IGBT modules just as Everlast does so I don't think you'll find issue in that part of the machine.
