I sold my near new Miller 180SD Syncrowave and ordered a new Diversion 165. It hasn't come in yet but that didn't stop me from building a cart.
I was going to fabricate it totally from scratch, but Harbor Freight had this unit on sale for $49.95. I couldn't buy the parts for anywhere near that price!
To this unit I simply built a rod storage system like I had on the 180SD
Now all I need to do is get the Diverson and mount it on top and start TIGging.............

Diversion 165 Cart
Looks Good! Welding Depot has a similar cart. I modified one of them to a "double decker," for my 375 Extreme Plasma cutter and Maxstar 150S stick machine. Even put a bottle of nitrogen on it for the plasma!

just wondering why you let the 180 Sync go. Didn't like it. Do you think the Diversion will do the same job?

The 180 SD was just too big and I have a MM185 for big stuff. The TIG is used for very fine work and a thumb wheel will work out better. I have no idea if the Diversion will perform as well as the 180. We'll see.
I can also run the Diversion off my generator for remote use if needed.
But generally, the 180SD was more than I needed so I sold it and bought the Diversion and put $200 in my pocket!RoyB
