also ditch all the different size collets, your max amperage is 200amps no need for such large collets. I usually run 1/16" all the time and the occasional .04" tungsten


Totally agree on ditching the hefty tungsten sizes --- 1/8th STARTS at 250 amps and the 200DX has a max of 200 amps - so 3/32nd is your max size with that machine - and you'll use it rarely. With 3/32nds you can weld 1/4" Aluminum and that's the max the machine can handle. I mostly use the 1/16th which is good to 150 amps.
