Default Fabricators and welders whats your weapon of choice?

I'm having a hard time of keeping a TIG on my want list. It seems to be on my need list a lot latley. If my car sells I will be buying one now if not its time to save up for one.



I will be doing mild steel, stainless, and a little bit of aluminum. I'm looking at the Dynasty 200DX but at at 3500.00 ready to use I am also thinking about the Syncrowave 200 because 2500.00 or less new and they pop up pretty regular used for a good bit less. So what should I lean to? Thanks in advance for any advice.

while the dynasty is killer, a syncro wave 180 etc will do anything you can throw at it building a car, off road truck etc. theres plenty miller/lincolns for sale at 1,000-1,500

It's old but the millermattic square wave has proven the test of time and 32high schoolers 6periods a day for the last 10 years. Great machine. But money wasn't an issue I might opt for a Cobramatic. It adjusts it's self!

I own the Miller Dynasty 200 DX -- and LOVE IT....

Expensive yes.... worth it... yes.

My rule is -- it's an investment in ME... and my hobby -- I'm going to have a good tool for YEARS -- and I want to be able to grow into it - not have the tool limit what I can do in the future.

My .0000000001 worth.
