Harvster,

You aren't going to get close with the 164Si to 3/8" as far as welding goes. For that welding thickness on a regular basis, I'd recommend the PowerTIG 250EX. PowerPlasma 50S is our best value in a plasma cutter. Get both of these and you'll be able to sell your thunderbolt and get a better arc to boot when stick welding.

The 164si will handle 3/8" steel as far as the plasma goes, but If you don't need to weld that thick, then the PowerTIG 185 and the PowerPlasma 50S would work.

PM me for a quote on anything.

3/8" would be a likely max thickness but rarely would I be doing anything that thick. What about thin? How do the 185 and the 164 compare on tig welding thin stuff? And do you see a benefit to having separate units (plasma 50, tig 185) vs the all in one 164?

The benefit is portability when you only need to cut/weld and if one breaks you still have the other.

I bought a power plasma 50 about two years ago and yesterday it decided not to work anymore.
I checked the air and changed the tip and still nothing, all that happens is a click out of the machine when I squeeze the trigger. What should I be checking?

Lea, you'll need to call tech support. If you are hearing a click then something is working so it probably isn't the torch. You can reach them at 877 755 9353 ext 207.

might verify the work cable clamp is making good contact.
have forgotten it on my combo unit and it doesn't do much...

Called tech today, appparently I have been running my air pressure too high and getting blowback into the torch, took the torch apart and cleaned and lubricated it lowered the air pressure and seems to be working great.
Love that machine

 

[Mark @ Everlast]

Good.

Mark,

I've sent 2 PMs over the last 5 days or so for quotes. Maybe you're not getting them so I thought I'd put it here. I'm interested in buying either the 164si or a combination of the powerplasma 50 and tig185DV.

Mark, it's been 9 days since I asked you for a price quote, which you said to do if I was interested. Is there some reason you do not wish to sell me a welder or plasma cutter?


Thank you for the response, Mark, I understand the delay, being busy is a good thing.
