Everlast PowerTIG 210EXT AC/DC TIG Welder: up to 210 A, 240 V

What it welds

The Everlast PowerTIG 210EXT AC/DC TIG Welder is an AC/DC TIG with a maker-stated output of up to 210 amps on 240-volt input.

At its top output of 210 amps, Miller's 1-amp-per-thousandth rule points to about 0.210 in of steel per pass. Where the rule comes from.

The listing doesn't give a duty cycle with its amperage, which makes long beads hard to plan; the rating plate or manual should state it. Why it matters.

It's AC/DC, so it can weld aluminium as well as steel and stainless. Pulse: pulse.

Plan a 240-volt circuit sized as the manual states before it arrives. What input voltage changes.

Use a lens of at least OSHA's minimum shade for the current: shade 8 or darker for typical TIG or stick work here. Shade chart.

Also on the listing: dimensions of 24 x 9 x 17 inches and a weight of 60 lb.
