**** this is a nice machine!!! I just started toying with it, wow such a clean arc, it welds like butter, the sounds it makes takes getting used to, a far cry from my sync 250, but wow.
Awesome machine...
However, fusion king you are correct, I hate that hand amptrol, took at least 4 -5 turns of the knob to get a puddle. I am going to see if I can return it, used it for about 2 minutes, then stole my syncs footpedal and used that....

Sweet, can't wait to pick mine up in the next few days. I've never owned a tig welder and I'm going knee deep purchasing a Dynasty 200DX. I am a fast learner and very mechanically inclined so it won't be long before I master this thing.

I can't help but feel that practicing video games for about 10 or so years would be better cross training than anything... PLUS being mechanically inclined and a fast learner

Oh I know...it is nasty crude and caveman-like. I would be ashamed to admit it if I had designed it. Originally Posted by Badd00SS

Well they just weld different. I hated them for awhile...about like anybody hates something new when the old stuff was working fine. Originally Posted by snowshreder

You can pack it into a place that nobody ever would even consider dragging a sync 250 into and have 3/4ths the power at 1/3rd the amp draw and be able to tailor the arc to lay down a bead like a true welding god!! And it will stick weld like a dream as well. And to be able to run on any voltage from 110-460, single or 3 phase...get the picture??

When I plugged my Dynasty into a 110 outlet and welded aluminum my stepdad had a fit.
