I bought my 200DX from http://www.weldingsuppliesfromioc.com. Cyberweld is essentially local for me, but sales tax would have added a couple of hundred dollars.
The LWS, here, is Airgas. They would have cost another couple of hundred more, plus sales tax. I read about how some of you...

It's not politically correct, and might raise some eyebrows in many areas of the US, but I have read where some guys have put together a few pieces from the local home improvement store and run water from a faucet to the torch and then to the drain. I don't know how long you can do that before the...Leave a comment:

I should have mentioned that the only issues I have with it, is knowing that the behavior is normal, and that the first time I was welding, I wasn't expecting the noise, so I flinched and stuffed the tungsten right into the newly formed puddle.Leave a comment:

What is normal fan behavior for a Dynasty 200?
After reading here for a very long time, I finally have my dream machine in the garage, a Dynasty 200DX, running on 220V - single phase.
I had the impression that the 200's normally weld for quite a while on low to moderate amp settings without the fan ever coming on. I tried to search... -
As far as the stripped hole is concerned, you really want to use a commercial thread repair product. Heli-coils are simple and readily available, but there are a whole bunch of alternatives. I have heard good things about time-certs.
In the Porsche tuning community it is not uncommon...Leave a comment:

In my experience, particularly with MIG, it is not possible to go back over a weld and make it look better. If you want to make it look better you need to grind it out and try again. Otherwise you will need to lay enough bead over the bad-looking weld to completely cover it. That's not going to make...Leave a comment:

Isn't button 28 the one that sets the overall maximum weld current?...Leave a comment:

I am a relative newbie, so take this for what you paid for it...
When the rod touches the tungsten, you get a bunch of filler stuck to the tungsten which plays havoc with that careful grinding you just did. When I have done it, it usually makes all of the tungsten past the collet body...Leave a comment:

I only have the rumor that appeared on the thread about Miller downplaying the Syncrowaves, so I don't know if the new machines would be between the 200 and the 350, between the 350 and the 700, or adding functions to one of the existing machines.
I'm usually smart enough to avoid basing...Leave a comment:

When is the right time to buy?
As I have mentioned elsewhere I have been pining for a Dynasty 200 since before they were officially released. I now have saved the necessary pennies and have the wife's blessing.
Now I hear rumors of new machines to be added to the Dynasty line-up in the spring, and the current “Golden-Ticket”... -
Steels with high carbon content can be hardened by heating above their critical temperature and then quenching. Quenching can be done in air, oil, water, brine, and probably some other choices, the exact composition of the steel determines the best quench. The difference between the quenches is really...Leave a comment:

Now that I'm finally all set to place an order for my very own Dynasty 200DX, does anybody here think there is any chance that Miller is going to be adding anything to the lower end of the Dynasty line?
I've wanted a 200 since someone on the road-show truck mentioned that Miller was about...Leave a comment:

As I understand it, the circuit breaker is there to prevent the wire between the breaker and the outlet from over-heating and causing a fire. It isn't there to protect your welder, the over-heat function of your welder is for that.
The National Electric Code specifies the maximum breaker...Leave a comment:

No, I'm a fool because I didn't look carefully at the stock number to see that, despite what the seller said, it really was a DX.
I looked at the model chart on millerwelds.com, and didn't notice that the first six digits are the same between the SD and the DX. Wouldn't have bothered...Leave a comment:

Wow. That's embarrassing.
It sure looks like I'm the fool. The only thing fishy about the listing was that the seller had the model wrong. I was sure I saw SD when I pulled up the manual!
Thanks for setting this newbie straight.
The welder was bought by...Leave a comment:
