Everlinx EVERARC vs Everlinx EVERARC R Series

One welder, two power supplies. The R Series puts a rechargeable battery inside the same case: up to 1,500 welds per charge under continuous use, says Everlinx, for $300 more at regular prices ($450 the day we checked, with the corded welder on sale) and 0.4 lb of extra weight. Everything else is identical: 0.5–20 J in half-joule steps, a 65-inch stylus, three years of warranty, and no eye protection in either box. So the question is simple. Do you weld where outlets are scarce: outdoor markets, festivals, a client's backyard? Then the battery pays for itself the first time you don't have to rent power. If you work from a salon chair, the corded one does the same welds for less, which is why it edges ahead in our formula.

Everlinx EVERARC: 0.5 to 20 joules in half-joule steps, cycle time under one second; controls: membrane buttons. Everlinx EVERARC R Series: 0.5 to 20 joules in half-joule steps, cycle time under one second; controls: membrane buttons. For bracelets, anklets and necklaces you spend your day at the low end of the range, on fine jump rings (Everlinx's own strength test used 22 gauge): a low starting point and small steps matter more than the top figure. A welder with no published joule range can still weld; you just can't compare it on paper.

Everlinx EVERARC: no eye protection listed in the box; the EVERSHIELD screen is sold in the bundle; training: user manual; Everlinx's course comes with the starter kit, not with the welder. Everlinx EVERARC R Series: no eye protection listed in the box; the EVERSHIELD screen is sold in the bundle; training: user manual; Everlinx's course comes with the starter kit, not with the welder. A pulse arc weld is a bright flash a few inches from your face. Shaded glasses do the job; a screen that darkens for each weld lets you see the ring before and after without lifting anything.
