Everlast Welders - Welders and Plasma Cutters by Everlast

Maybe it's the "low end" machines. lol. Let's see, Miller 211, Lincoln Invertec V205t Miller Dynasty 200, 250, Thermal Arc Fabricator 211, TA 186, Hypertherm 45....all very well respected machines have rear switches.

I was wondering because most of the "low end" machines found (Lincoln, Longevity, etc.) at Home Depot have switches on the front. As do some of the smaller millers I looked at. It's like starting my tractor with a crank in the front.

So what's your point??

The point is that ergonomically for me at least a switch on the front would be better.
I have to position the equipment so I can easily access the front AND back.
It's like having to climb down out of the seat and go to the front to crank the tractor.

As it is I will probably build a welding cart and put a switch on the front. When I really looked at the low end welders I was surprised that most of them at HD had the switch on the front.

That's ridiculous .. The switch is where the switch is .. I have 2 plasma cutters and they cut as well weather the switch is one the front or the back

Mark ... Does Everlast offer a parts manual? I stated before that I have the other brand ... I recently asked for a complete parts diagram .. NO CAN DO??

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

Are you asking for schematics, or a parts list of major discreet components? I don't think you'll find complete part breakdowns like you would on a tractor from anyone with exploded views. We don't generally provide schematics but will consider it on a case by case/as needed basis and then only the relevant related schematic required to complete the repair (unless you are contracted with us for repair and sign the usual non disclosure stuff). We can provide the part numbers of discreet components for customers as well for most items. Some of the older stuff did change very rapidly and it was hard to keep every schematic updated with every change. In fact we are in the process of finishing up a more detailed and current schematic for every unit as we have been locking in final designs for the past two years (Until a completely new model is issued). We do guard the current series closely as there are already companies working on cloning our products very quickly. I've had mysterious people call and ask with a strange accent and ask some rather detailed questions and ask if I could send them drawings for our units so they could see how they are built before they buy them. We have released some information to people on our older "super" series products though since much of that is far in the past and customers can benefit by keeping them going locally.

If there were an issue or question about one of the units, and schematics, as I said, we may release the relevant part like this from the 140 or a reference breakdown with related supplier ID/part number (sample from one of our other units).

I ask cause I had a part failure on the hand held torch ... I was told they had no way of getting an individual part that there was no diagram break down and needed the entire torch assembly .. Was advised that because I was using it on a CNC table that speed was the cause of the failure .. Therefor no warranty. So I have a complete torch that needs one part and it's good to go.

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

Well, we have a parts for our torches, but we limit them to sub assemblies. It's not practical to carry individual parts for every piece. For example, we carry replacement kits found here: Trafimet I'm not sure which torch you have you are referring to...but if it's the PT 60, we have just introduced the same torch on one of our products. It's no secret that Tec.mo/Innotech builds the torch just like Trafimet builds many of ours. We are just building our supply of spares and kits on them...but here you go for a parts breakdown/list. We needed to complete an evaluation period before we rushed in to using it. We wanted to make sure we could guarantee some backward compatibility of consumables with the older S45...which it does have even though they are different. I can't upload the whole catalog, but here is the jpg of the pdf document with part numbers. FWIW, the torch is essentially the same as the PT 40 for many parts, (the torch head it appears) and HTP carries that torch as well. Nutech sells it as well (welding direct). Depending upon what you need, HTP and Welding direct do carry parts kits as well.
