Welder cart and tig rod rack.

[Ski]

I made the cart previously and added a rod rack to it today. Next will be a 2 drawer box for the top for odds and ends. Welder is The Everlast power tig 250EX with cooler.

I would say "nice rack" but that's not p.c.
So..........."really nice rack"!

What do you think of the Everlast, as I have been on the edge of buying one?

Nice job on the cart. Similar to what I did for mine. The pvc is pretty convenient for rod storage. Mike

Thanks, My 2 cents on Everlast is It works well. Problems - Mine lost HF start at 3 years 9 months and I had to send it in for warranty. 100 plus shipping. Sent it in Sept and got back in Dec. I initially recieved the wrong welder back and had to wait another week. Shipping blunder there. The control board was replaced and I have only just tested a little. They paid return shipping. They followed through on repair with some issues but they got it done. I still have a year warranty yet as well. New machines are digital so they have changed a little. Feel free to stop in and test it out if you ever swing North. There are some horror stories but 2 sides to every arguement. my case was only inconvienence.

Just to chime in, even though you didn't ask me
Buy it! You won't regret it. I now have 2.

Ps: that is a nice rack!

Very nice cart Ski. I've built several over the years, but last year I went the easy route and bought a cart from Horror Freight and just fabricated some brackets and PVC rod holders for it. As much as I'm not a fan of HF, I was pleasantly surprised to find that their cart was actually pretty well made and already had the drawers. Couple of pics attached.

Nice job on the welding cart. Pretty close to the one I made last year. Same Everlast machines too, it looks like.

Same thing happened to me, repair took a little over 3 months . The 210ext was about 10 months new when it broke. After that i felt like i was walking on egg shells- if it broke again i would be out a tig welder for another quarter of a year. I sold it and bought a Lincoln squarewave 200. I love the lincoln

I almost bought a miller while waiting for this one but decided to run this one as long as it lasts.If it runs out of warranty and dies, I won't pay to get it fixed and will sell it for parts or repair and move on to another brand Tig welder. Just about any brand inverter should fit the cart I built. The cooler is 220v but The manual shows 120v parts so I should be able to convert and use it.

Pump is italian from what I understand. I almost bit on another brand myself but doing like you. Run it until it pukes. It has been working very well though and have about 48 hours running/weld time on it after repair.
