Very pleased to announce new sponsorship form Longevity Welding Equipment based out of California for the upcoming season.
At the same time the company is hoping I will become the Canadian dealer for their products and introduce the machines to the Canadian market. So here we go.....This is Longevity's intro to their product line now available through Brink Fab....
I would like to introduce our company as a potential supplier to your plasma cutting and welding needs.
Our company has been business longer than most of our competitors, we currently have over 4000 customers worldwide. We are here to stand behind our product and offer an unconditional money back guarantee on our products within 30days of purchase. In fact, Longevity will cover shipping both ways on the plasma cutters, welders, and multi-purpose units if you are unsatisfied with your product within the first 30days of purchase - we are extremely proud to enable customers to have a risk free trial on our equipment.
We understand the welding community is an important aspect of everyday business. Our goal is to offer superior quality products at affordable prices, while maintaining excellent customer service.
Currently, we have our own welding forum at http://www.longevity-inc.com/forum and we are also a member of WeldingWeb.com - our forum is on there as well.
Please take a moment to browse our product line at http://www.longevity-inc.com
Still working out if the "risk free trial" can work for Canadian buyers. I'll keep you posted. Once my own machines arrive they can definitely be tested at my shop anytime.
For now though...to introduce the product I am offering machines at extremely reasonable introductory pricing. Browse their site and let me know what you are interested in. For the most part it looks like this intro price from me can be their current website price...but in Canadian dollars....and shipping included to my door. Consumables will be in stock here with me at all times, so there is no waiting on them or wondering where to find them for your machine.
Check the extremely positive reveiws on Pirate 4x4 and other websites. These machines are the real deal. Latest technology, quality units. Backed by great service and Warranty. 5yrs of Warranty :thumbup
This is not a group buy...or limited time availability. But the introductory prices are for a limited time.
Here's some examples...
(http://www.longevity-inc.com/images/products/large/P_8997_171.jpg)
40amp Plasma cutter. Rated cut is 1/2" on steel. Severance cut is 3/4"! Get this machine for under $400
(http://www.longevity-inc.com/images/products/large/P_6361_321.jpeg)
Longevity WeldMax™ Series Portable DC(Only) DUAL VOLTAGE Multi Purpose Welder with 40-amp Plasma Cutter. This multipurpose welding machine has the full capability of welding and plasma cutting any kind of metal except for aluminum! Why purchase just the plasma cutter or the welder when for a little bit more, you can get a 160amp DC TIG welder, a 140amp DC stick welder, and a 40amp plasma cutter that will cut through every kind of metal including aluminum! This machine is the total package! this welder is designed for light weight industrial welding and cutting, and perfect for the home or shop fabricator! $549
So anyone looking for a plama, mig, tig, stick machine, or unit that will do Plasma and tig and stick all in one????
UPDATE:
Thanks for the orders so far guys.
Here's the time frame on things:
Offer of the US posted price but in Canadian dollars including shipping to my door ends Feb 28
After that the prices all go up by $25 to help cover the shipping. As an intro I'm still doing the pricing of the US price but in Canadian. This runs till March 7.
After that prices will be reevaluated and are not guaranteed to stay this low.
Everything then ships and I will have units mid March.
Don't miss these deals. Free shipping till the end of Feb, prices locked till March 7
If in doubt about the machines I really recommend you check them out on weldingweb.com, pirate4x4.com, freeweldingforum.com Notice the customer service. The machines are the real deal, and backed by people who take care of you.
Also keep in mind they include a 5 YEAR WARRANTY

Fixed the web link...
nice machines.... 8)

Looks interesting... friend of mine just bought a house with a triple and is looking to add a few fabrication toys (Plasma, Mig/Tig welder, bender, etc).
I'll check with him and PM ya for a quote or two.

Ahh...crap. There goes the pay cheques again! ::)

Sounds good. I am a dealer for all of that. Bender included.

Hmm been thinking about getting a DC arc welder but I'm not sure if 140amp would be enough. What sort of thickness steel can that machine weld with 140amp DC?
Whats the duty cycle of both machines?

In the ARC welder section it show them as rated for .012-3/8" for the stick welding
Honestly I am not proficient enough on a stick machine to know though. Anyone else want to jump in with a more educated/experienced opinion.
If 140amp isn't enough we go all the way up to 190amp on the combo machines for arc welding
-
depends on duty cycle rating...140 amps is plenty for the home fabricator...just depends on duty cycle...you wont be burning anything bigger than 1/8 7018 rods, but really who fabs anything with 5/32?? does it come with cables, torch, or tig setup? Does it run a rectified DC current aka DC smooth? Im interested, but i would like to know more about the tig setup and capabilites?
-
Just did about an hours worth of reading on their website and Pirate. Good reviews and customer service from what I saw. Just noticed that the 416 unit is a multi voltage unit! Thats right, runs on either 110V or 220V! Obviously on 110V its capacity is reduced by 50% but still could do 1/4" cut on 110V. Not bad. I've got 220V in the shop but it would be nice to be able to use it other places.
Looks like its got a 60% duty cycle which would probably be plenty for me. Comes with the following:
* Main Unit
* Cutting Torch
* TIG Torch
* Stick Holder
* Earth Clamp
* Air Regulator with Bracket
* Air Hose
* Foot Pedal
* Argon Regulator
* Consumables: 3 piece tips, 3 piece electrodes, 3 piece gas diffuser, 3 piece shield cups
Thinking that for the extra $100 or $150 I may step up a unit or two. Can you do the webprices on the 518 and 520 to your door as well?
-
Another question, looks like the plasma cutter doesn't have a pilot arc? Never used one without, how does that work then? Just tap it to the metal to get it started and then pull back? What if you are using a guide?
-

I can squeeze those through at the web price but in Canadian dollars and shipped for this first batch.
That makes the LC-518D $599
and the LC-520D $649

My old machine was no pilot. Never had a guide on it though. With the guide I would expect you need it set VERy close to the workpiece to get things to work right. Although my old machine never needed to have a real "tap" to get it going. It struck the arc when you were reasonably close to the material. Tips are a drag style.
There is the whole next line of IGBT units that are all Pilot Arc. Price goes up a bit on them, but consumable life goes up also since the tip is not on the workpiece. Eventually one could argue that will even out the investment.
The only time when it is REALLY an issue is when used in a table. If you want to go to a CNC setup with one of the non pilot arc machines some mods need to be made. It can be done with them, but the Pilot Arc models don't need anything to work with them.

i will be in for a plasma cutter. need to do some reasearch yet. also may upgrade my mig welder. having problems getting clark consumables. how come there mig welders are so expesive... i was also hoping for a combo mig/ plasma... hmm

Mig and plasma don't use the same boards. But TIG and Plasma do..it's just a natural fit. Longevity has been working on a mig/plasma but nothing as of now. It requires pretty much 2 machines in 1 case with few shared components. Ends up better to just buy the 2 seperately.
-
well I already have a millermatic 251, and would love to have a plasma cutter. i dont think i'll be cutting anything larger that 1/2" for fabing up jeep stuff. if you can get that machine for under $400 i'm in, i'll buy one. with your experience do you think the pilot arc is worth the extra $125??
i'm still in China, stuck with visa issues, but should be back in a week or two. i'll pm you when I get back as I do need some other material as well, such as joints for the Long arms.
-
I called in about some of your pilot arc questions on the machines yesterday and got the low down.
Pilot arc is pretty cool. It will keep the torch going over open areas and never shut down. Great for doing expanded steel or on a CNC table for example.
The regular plasma machines are not "scratch start". They are all High Frequency machines. So even they don't require contact to make the arc. Just reasonably close. That means that a guide is not a problem. For 99% of our intended use they are a great way to go.
The times when you might want the pilot arc are like I stated above....expanded, cnc.
The other thing is just ease of use. With the continuous arc from the pilot models you don't loose the cut and have to release the trigger and start again ever. This comes into play sometimes when making a difficult cut somewhere hard to get to, cutting old brackets off of axles comes to mind...sometimes it's just awkward in there. Another advantage is that the consumables will last longer. You can start your cut farther from the material and will get less blow back into the tip. The blow back is one of the big risks for tip damage

Looks like some great equipment.!!! If I could only pass this purchase past the wife!!!!
-
Thanks for clarification on the pilot arc. I kind of threw me off at first when I read it had no pilot arc. My current at home machine has no pilot arc and works fine. The unit at work has a pilot arc setting but I think its called continuous cut or something. Handy when doing expanded metal but I rarely use it otherwise.
As much as I'd like to but one doesn't look like its in the books right now. Hoping to sell the house in the spring and the downstairs carpet really needs to be replaced. Thanks for info though, hopefully in the fall I'll be able to purchase something.

Time's running out on the no charge shipping offer. Call or PM to make it happen at the best deal
-
Who needs extra consumables on their order. We havent talked about that yet. Available in various packages to suit your needs.
If you want consumables added to your welder order let me know. If ordering a welder at the same time I can do BETTER than the website pricing on them. Take 10% OFF THE US PRICING and just pay that amount in CANADIAN plus get no charge shipping.
Just let me know what to add to your order.
-
i forgot about consumables, are the 40/50AMP Large Consumables 30Kit compatible with the pilot arc? or do i need to get the Pilot Arc Large Consumable 30kit i dont see any Swirl Rings or shield cups in the pilot arc consumables. i'm no sure if they ar diferent or not

Negative. Pilot Arc Models need to use the Pilot Arc consumables. The kit should come with everything you need though. Plus they don't use as many consumables as the non Pilot Arc models.
-
Order went in today guys. Thanks to everyone who is on board.
If you want to be added shoot me a PM and we will see what we can do.
Remember these are permanently available. Just let me know if you are ready for one down the road. After this order the ultra low introductory pricing won't apply, but the pricing on them is still extremely reasonable.

can you quote me a price on the
ArcMate LW-200ACDC
thanx

Quick update guys. Units are in transit now from California to my Montana Warehouse. Once they arrive I will be down to get them.
Eric
-
Do you have an ETA when it's gonna hit the warehouse at the border?
-
Not really. :o
Shipped freight so it sounds like it depends how many times my pallets get handed off on the way. They tell me late this week is what they expect though.
-
cool, i should be back in country mid april. now i just need the 60gal compressor to go on sale a crappytire ;D

I fired up a LP-50D today and played around with it a bit.
In my totally biased opinion it was pretty kick arse. Nothing like trial by fire. I stepped straight into freehanding 5/8 plate with it.....

was there supposed to be an owners manual in the box? or is it all online?

We were playing with Dom's plasma on Sat. Chris (cfbaars) had read the instructions on-line.
It was pretty sweet cutting!

All online Chris. Just go to http://longevity-inc.com/details.php select your model, and click the tab for the manual.

Hi Eric
you still around? PM sent

My 50 series plasma cuts 1/2 plate slike butter (that is when it's set at 30amp)... It's freakin' awesome... Wicked deal .. Thanks Eric!
I'll have pics soon
-
I just have to add to how great the Pilot Arc LP40D plasma is, I just fabricated these 1/4inch controll arm mounts this morning, I thought I would need a 60gal air compressor, but the little 5gal compressor does the job. great plasma for anyone who does some fab work in their garage for a great price.

yep we just installed them today on the Immortal XJ, i'm sure Trevor will put them through a good test to see how they hold up.

I am going to beat the ever loving crap out of them (seeing as they are a prototype.... :D)

I like the way that you boxed them - like built-in skids.

Ok I have to practice a bit more to get strait lines like this... or get a CNC ... ;D
I've owned my little 50AMP machine for about a year now... it still works great!
Great bang for the buck!
Bump!

I agree, its best money i've spent. i have the 40amp version but it works great. straight line seem to get straighter for me after a few steamwhistles in me. while at work i've been reserching CNC, like the torchemate 1 DIY kit. or you can build your own water table, gantry and use mach3 control software and get a 3-axis stepper motor, drivers for around $600. im highly considering building a 4x8 table, but i got to get the xj finished first.

Is it easy to set the longevity plasma cutters up with a cnc setup? How does the cnc control the plasma cutter? I checked out the torchmate site and I think their cutters have an automation attachment on them...
-
from what i understand is that you can run your torche through a control box, which trigers it on and off. i dont know how easy or hard its to set up. i havent done it myself. but if you serch through cnczone there are lots of diy plasma tables.
-
All of our "i" series machines are plug and play with setups like the Torchmate. There's a jack on the back of the machine that the interface plugs right into. Machine torches are also available.
There's lots of vid on Torchmate and YouTube of Longevity machines on their tables actually. Torchmate vouches for us all the time.
-
So lets run a special. Seeing as it's tax season lets involve some.....
Double the GST off your purchase of any plasma cutter, welder or multifunction machine. So that's 10% savings right off the top
Plus you can still stock up on consumables at 25% off at that time.
Big savings available to anyone looking to work with some metal....
Lots of units in stock

Looking to finally grab a welder, wondering if there is any longer term feedback on these machines?
