Everlast PowerTIG 325EXT Review: 240 V 1/3-Phase TIG

Good fit if…

• You want a dedicated AC/DC TIG and stick inverter with a TIG ceiling in the 320–325 A class, not a MIG or multiprocess cabinet, and you have a 240 V circuit (1-phase or 3-phase).
• You will use AC TIG on aluminum and DC TIG on steel or stainless, with pulse and a choice of four AC waveforms.
• You can supply or wire a NEMA 6-50P plug for 240 V, 1-phase work (Everlast's current 240 V page says the plug is not included) and you will have a licensed electrician confirm 3-phase hookup if that is your supply.
• You will stay inside the duty-cycle figures and will not treat Amazon's 250 A “amperage capacity” field as the TIG ceiling.
• You will keep the receipt and work with Everlast support if you need the 5-year US parts-and-labor warranty.

Avoid if…

• You need 120 V input. This 325EXT SKU is 220/240 V, 1- or 3-phase. Everlast's dual-voltage 255EXT is a different machine and a different query.
• You need MIG or a multiprocess cabinet. For AC TIG plus MIG, see our Miller Multimatic 220 page.
• You need one official number for every rating. The Rev. 3 operator's guide (29 August 2020) and the current 240 V product page disagree on TIG duty-cycle ceilings, input current, open-circuit voltage, weight, size, post-flow time and, in places, how the arc starts and how the fan runs. This page does not invent a winner.
• You wanted the 480 V, 3-phase only 325EXT. That is a separate Everlast listing. This ASIN and SKU PT-325EXT-240 are the 240 V machine.
• You planned to run it from a generator that is not manufacturer-rated as clean power (under 5 percent THD) at or above the surge rating on the current product page.

What you are actually buying

The product on this page is the Everlast PowerTIG 325EXT in the 240 V, 1- or 3-phase configuration. Everlast's current product page lists SKU PT-325EXT-240. The Amazon listing under ASIN B00K1N936I used the lines PT325EXT / PT-325EXT, a title that begins with “2021,” and the words “New 2024 model.” This article does not treat those phrases as proof of a distinct hardware generation. It describes the machine from the documents Everlast still publishes for the 325EXT: the operator's guide marked Rev. 3, 00829-20 (29 August 2020), which covers 240 V 1-phase and 480 V 3-phase versions in one book, and the current 240 V product page (SKU PT-325EXT-240), read November 10, 2026.

That 240 V product page lists a 9-series air-cooled TIG torch, a 20-series water-cooled TIG torch, a foot pedal, a stick electrode holder, a work clamp, an argon regulator with hose, a 6 ft input power cable with no plug included, and a TIG consumable starter kit (tungsten not included). A cooler and a cart are not included. The 2020 operator's guide inventory, by contrast, lists an 18-series torch and a 26-series torch plus a 47 kΩ pedal. Confirm what actually ships with the unit you are offered.

Buyer Checkpoint has not welded with this machine. Amazon's technical table on the same listing printed a 250 A “amperage capacity” that matches the stick ceiling, not the TIG ceiling; that field is treated as a listing error. For a multiprocess alternative with AC TIG and MIG, see the Miller Multimatic 220 checklist.

Where Everlast's own documents differ

Use the August 2020 operator's guide as the operating manual we have, then note every place the current 240 V product page disagrees. Do not pick a number because an Amazon title is shorter.

TIG output and duty cycle. The 2020 guide rates TIG output at 5–320 A DC and 10–320 A AC, with a TIG duty cycle of 35 percent at 320 A, 60 percent at 245 A and 100 percent at 200 A (40 °C, 10-minute cycle). Start and end amps on the same page go to 325 A. The current 240 V product page lists TIG at 5–325 A DC and 10–325 A AC, with 35 percent at 325 A, 60 percent at 245 A and 100 percent at 190 A. Amazon's title still says “320amp.” This page states both sets and does not invent a single official TIG ceiling.

Input current, open-circuit voltage, weight and size. The 2020 guide lists I1MAX 50 A and I1EFF 45 A at 220 V, 1-phase, and an open-circuit voltage of 70 V. The current 240 V page lists I1MAX 60 A and I1EFF 36 A at 240 V, 1-phase (30 A / 18 A at 240 V, 3-phase) and an open-circuit voltage of 88 V (under 24 V in VRD). Weight is 62 lb in the 2020 guide for the 325, 69 lb on the current product page, and 60 lb on the Amazon page. Cabinet size is 17.5 x 9.25 x 22 in in the guide, 25 x 9.5 x 15 in on the product page, and 22 x 9 x 17 in on Amazon. None of those figures is treated here as the single official weight or cabinet size.

How the arc starts and how the fan runs. The 2020 guide documents an adjustable point-gap HF start (0.029–0.040 in) and a full-time high-velocity fan. The current 240 V product page describes HV Start (an electronically controlled high-frequency start that, it says, eliminates the point-gap design) and fan-on-demand. Those later phrases appear on the official page; they are not used here as evidence of a unique 2024 redesign.

Buyer Checkpoint Fit score

Fit 88/100 for a shop that wants dedicated AC/DC pulse TIG and stick on a 240 V, 1- or 3-phase circuit, does not need 120 V, and can accept that Everlast's 2020 operator's guide and the current 240 V product page do not always agree. This score is not raised to fill a publishing slot. This score is not copied from the 255EXT pack. Documented capability sits at 22 because official 325EXT output and duty figures are a step above the 255EXT pack, not because the Fit template was reused.

Method: Buyer Checkpoint Fit score for the target buyer profile on the 30/25/20/15/10 framework (Use-case & safety / Documented capability / Integration / Ownership / Supporting evidence). It is an editorial score built from documents, not a laboratory or hands-on test. A hard stop for that profile overrides the total. Other profiles are described under “Avoid if…” without a second numeric score. See the public scoring method.

Total: 27 + 22 + 18 + 12 + 9 = 88. A live listing that is no longer a 240 V PowerTIG 325EXT, a shop that needs 120 V or MIG, a dirty-power generator as the only source, or a circuit that cannot support the input current in Everlast's documents is a hard stop for this profile and overrides the 88.

Buying facts that change the decision

Each row pairs a sourced fact with what it changes for the buyer. Where Everlast's documents disagree, the conflict is in the fact column.

240 V at the wall, 1- or 3-phase, and what a generator may not do

This SKU is not a 120 V machine. The 2020 guide rates Version 1 for 220/240 V, 1-phase (±10 percent), with 208 V permissible, and Version 2 for 460/480 V, 3-phase. The current 240 V product page, which matches SKU PT-325EXT-240, rates this listing for 220/240 V, 1- or 3-phase. The 480 V, 3-phase-only cabinet is a separate Everlast page. Have a licensed electrician confirm which supply you actually have before you order a plug.

For 240 V, 1-phase, both the 2020 wiring diagram and the current product page point to a NEMA 6-50P. The current page says the plug is not included; you supply a 6-50P for 1-phase, or the correct 3-phase connector, and you do not use a 6-50P on 3-phase. Input current conflicts: 50 A I1MAX / 45 A I1EFF at 220 V, 1-phase in the 2020 guide, versus 60 A / 36 A at 240 V, 1-phase (30 A / 18 A at 240 V, 3-phase) on the current page. Size the circuit from a qualified electrician reading both figures, not from this page.

Generator use is restricted. The current 240 V product page requires a manufacturer-rated clean-power source (under 5 percent THD) and lists a minimum of 13,000 surge watts for single-phase use. The 2020 guide does not print that surge number, but it does list dirty generator power as a cause of over- or under-voltage and over-current fault codes. If your only power source is not a clean-power generator at or above that rating, this welder is not a fit.

For a shop already comparing a multiprocess inverter, start at the workshop equipment hub or the Miller Multimatic 220 page. Those pages are not a substitute for this dedicated TIG and stick inverter.

TIG output, pulse, four AC waveforms and stick

On figures that agree, AC TIG offers four waveforms — advanced square, soft square, triangular and sine — with AC frequency 20–250 Hz and AC balance 5–90 percent electrode-positive. Pulse is 0.1–500 Hz on DC and 0.1–250 Hz on AC (advanced square), with an advanced AC pulse band around 0.1–10 Hz. Nine program memories are documented in the 2020 guide. Start and end amps, up and down slope, and pre-flow are in similar ranges on both documents; post-flow is 0–50 seconds in the 2020 guide and 0–25 seconds on the current page.

On stick, both documents list 20–250 A. Duty cycle at 240 V class input is 35 percent at 250 A, 60 percent at 200 A and 100 percent at 160 A, with only a small voltage difference at the 35 percent point (28 V in the guide, 30 V on the current page). Hot start, arc force and a VRD stick mode are documented. The current product page says the machine is 6010-capable; the 2020 guide does not use that sentence, so treat 6010 use as a vendor claim on the current page, not as a figure from the operator's guide.

When this 240 V 325EXT is the better fit than a dual-voltage 255EXT or a multiprocess Miller

Google US autocompletion on November 10, 2026 offered everlast powertig 325ext review, everlast 325ext review and comparison seeds including everlast 255ext vs 325ext from the queries we ran. Those review strings are about this 325EXT, not about a Multimatic or a 255EXT article.

The 255EXT is a different machine: it auto-senses 120 V or 240 V and has a lower TIG ceiling. This 325EXT is 240 V, 1- or 3-phase only, the plug is not included on the current page, and the TIG class is the 320–325 A band discussed above. If you need AC TIG and MIG in one cabinet, use our Miller Multimatic 220 checklist. Shared aluminum TIG work does not make those machines the same purchase. Stay on this page only if the 240 V PowerTIG 325EXT is the model you are checking.

US warranty, the plug, and what ships in the box

The current 240 V product page headlines a 5-year term. The Amazon listing, read November 10, 2026, printed “5 year warranty part and labor.” The 2020 operator's guide tells you to register the unit and to read the current online warranty statement for your country, and to keep purchase records. Confirm the live statement at Everlast's standard-warranty page before you buy, and keep the receipt.

Box contents are not identical across Everlast's own documents. Use the current 240 V product page as the packing list for a new PT-325EXT-240, then check the live Amazon listing: 9-series air-cooled and 20-series water-cooled torches, pedal, stick holder, work clamp, regulator, a 6 ft input cable without a plug, and a starter kit without tungsten. Cooler and cart are extra. If the live listing or the carton does not match that list, stop and ask Everlast what you are actually being sold.

A November 10, 2026 recheck at delivery ZIP 10001 showed the seller as Everlast Power Equipment, with the welder in stock. A manufacturer seller does not replace the receipt or a written confirmation of the voltage and the accessories.

How to confirm the live listing without trusting a dated note

Open ASIN B00K1N936I and read the title and model line. You want an Everlast PowerTIG 325EXT in the 240 V configuration (SKU PT-325EXT-240 or the PT325EXT / PT-325EXT lines used on Amazon). If the title names a 255EXT, a 250EX, a 210EXT, or the 480 V 3-phase-only cabinet, stop: this page does not apply.

Then read the seller and the stock line. A November 10, 2026 recheck at delivery ZIP 10001 showed the welder in stock from Everlast Power Equipment. A dated note is not a promise that the same seller, stock or price will be there; adding the welder to your cart does not reserve it and does not lock a price. Ignore Amazon's 250 A capacity field if it still contradicts Everlast's TIG ratings, and confirm TIG, stick and input ratings from the documents that ship with the unit.

See current price on Amazon.

Everlast PowerTIG 325EXT verdict in brief

Each line below stands on its own and names its source date. None of it comes from a hands-on test.

• The Everlast PowerTIG 325EXT on this ASIN is the 240 V, 1- or 3-phase machine. Everlast's product page, read November 10, 2026, lists SKU PT-325EXT-240. This page does not treat Amazon's 2021 title or “New 2024 model” line as proof of a distinct hardware generation.
• The August 2020 operator's guide rates TIG at 5–320 A DC and 10–320 A AC, with a 35 percent duty cycle at 320 A. The current 240 V product page lists 5–325 A DC and 10–325 A AC, with a 35 percent duty cycle at 325 A (both read November 10, 2026).
• Stick ratings agree more closely: 20–250 A, with a 35 percent duty cycle at 250 A, in both the 2020 guide and the current 240 V page (read November 10, 2026).
• Input current, open-circuit voltage, weight and cabinet size conflict across the 2020 guide, the current 240 V page and the Amazon listing. Ask Everlast which figures apply to the unit you will receive.
• The current 240 V page says the input plug is not included and points to a NEMA 6-50P for 240 V, 1-phase use. Three-phase hookup needs a licensed electrician (Everlast documents, read November 10, 2026).
• US warranty is described as 5 years parts and labor on the current product page and on the Amazon listing, read November 10, 2026; keep the receipt and read Everlast's live online statement.
• On November 10, 2026, the Amazon page for ASIN B00K1N936I listed the PowerTIG 325EXT in stock from Everlast Power Equipment.
