    the combination units ar a real compromise in the TIG capabilities... once you experience the versatility of a dedicated full featured TIG machine... you will never go back...
    Second that! I have the MM211 with the spool gun. Sold the Diversion 180 to a buddy when I bought my Dynasty. The MM211 and Diversion are a great combo! They cover most of the needs in a garage, or small shop! Hope this helps!

      bpnz,

      You will want to go with the Multimatic 200 as it will run fine on 50Hz power, the Millermatic 211 is not recommended for 50Hz power.

        As muddled as this has gotten… I asked “"MillerKevin"” about 50HZ operation..... and this was his reply

          You will outgrow the diversion quickly. You say you don't weld a lot of aluminum, but once you can weld aluminum, those jobs seem to find their way to your work bench. And it sounds like an ordeal to get this machine to your country, so may as well only do it once. Get something that you can grow into and will be able to take advantage of as your skills improve.

            Why does it spec it in the manual?

            and it is an inverter- so why does it NOT work on 50Hz?

                  X2 I have the 211 with the spool gun. Great combo! Good to have separate units. One breaks-you have a backup! The Dynasty 200DX is great!! If you go this route, your options are wide open thin on materiel. Add helium-Gate is open!!
