Plasma Cutter Review Everlast powerpro 256

[theniggerrigger]

Im building a log splitter and the blade needs to have about a 45 degree blade angle on 1 inch steel. Whats the best way to approach this with an acetylene torch, and what's the best way to weld 1.5 inch steel onto an I-beam?

@gunmaster

Some metals are unweldable. Like 7000 series alum I believe.

[pardonwhat]

I'm in the UK, I bought a 256 a while ago, I had to hound them via sales line as they would not get back to me about delivery. After lots of false promises it took nearly 2 months.

As a noob to welding, I tried to join the forum, off hand they barred me. They must have been frightened about what I would say? Not happy! says ipaddress banned by administrator!

How has your machine performed since? Is it reliable? I'm considering doin vid if others experienced same?

@hybelkan1nen My TIG welds fine, customer service was another discussion. YMMV.

[FRUNTCASTER]

Is that a drag tip like on the Hypertherm? I like the petite drag tip on the HT 1000 for use along a straight edge.

Also, are all the consumables for this machine readily available and on par with other common machines price wise??

Funny you should post this now - I was *just* downstairs using my Everlast 3-in-1 (the straight DC machine) plasma cutter to knock out some 1/4" plate for a bracket!

Nice, that machine looks pretty damn sweet. do you have it hooked up so it's easy to go from tig to plasma?

[weldingtipsandtricks]

@freddytk421

going from tig to plasma cutting takes about 2 minutes.

@weldingtipsandtricks

i was on the everlast site and it said that the 256 would weld virtually all metals what would it not be capable of welding?

@gunmaster45 I was thinking the same question. There are alot of non weldable metals. Not trying to be a smart ass but I am. Some elements are metals and liquid at room temperature ( Mercury, Cesium around 100 degrees ) I dont want to name them all from the periodic table, so I think the point is if an alloy of a metal is a non weldable type, this machine is not gonna weld it. Did you get a 256?

@1Rectified

I got a 250ex i got the 256 at first but i felt that the 250ex would b a better fit i was right its a hoss i love it i got a couple of videos with it. im doin alot of cast aluminum repair jobs nowadays.

@gunmaster45 I have the hobart 165i. It has limitations big time. I got the manual pedal pulse down pat thou. I gotta get something bigger and better 250ex or 256. I really think the plasma cutter is gonna be useful for me. How long have you had the unit? Ill check out the vids also.
