Any one use one? I'm thinking of selling my syncrowave 250dx and buying the dynasty but I have never used the dynasty. Most of my welding is aluminum and s/s. Any feed back is helpful.
Miller dynasty 200

Youll love moving from that big sync to the dynasty....It is so much nicer welding aluminum with an inverter style TIG. Keeping the tungsten sharp while welding aluminum is nice so you can pin point the heat instead of the "ball"
I've got three of the Dynasty's and love them. Most of the guys here say they take a little getting used to but once they do they will fight to use them over my Syncrowave.
Just curious, what takes getting use to? I weld with a Lincoln square wave at work and when I get home and use my syncrowave it's all most too easy in comparison.
I went from a sync to a thermal dynamics 185.... The inverter tig seems to not be as forgiving as far as settings. The big sync didn't seem to care. Changing one value on my td makes a big difference in the weld. That being said it is nice to be able to really dial it in!
Have any of you guys tigged using a miller 304xmt? I have mine all set up but am looking for a argon tank. Only thing I dont like about it so far is the manual gas control.
You can add a high frequency box http://www.millerwelds.com/products/accessories/frequency/ if you want to spend the money. The h.f. box is nice because it has post flow. Or find a process selector box that has a solenoid in it. You can find bolth box's used fairly cheep.
The 304 is a great machine, i got one set up for pulse mig.
I also use a spool gun for aluminum with it as well.
Neighbor that runs a fab/CNC shop has one of each. Dynasty 350 he got recently and likes it better for the most part. I cannot remember which material though he still preferred his Lincoln Precision Tig 275 for though.
I've been scanning CL, waiting for the perfect deal. Spending a lot of money elseware in the shop right now though, probably hold off a bit.
I know this isn't on the same level. But how do you guys like the 211 miller? I just bought one. Says it can weld up to 3/8ths in a single pass. Just runs at a higher duty cycle than the big ones, but I'm not gonna be using it 8 hours of the day anyhow

I work at a fab shop for a living and we have always used millers but they are three hundred amp welders. What's the duty cycle on that particular welder?

I hear nothing but good things for what it is, I want to pick one up when I get a MIG. Like the idea of being able to run 110 for light remote work
Sounds to be a decent welder. I have a Hobart handler 187 its made by miller pretty sweet welder fine dials all the way around. It was a cheaper option than the name brand but the mother board and whip read miller. Had it for three years now and a really sweet set up. If you run flux on it is advise running a .045 tip with .035 wire helps keep the stuck in **** as we call it from screwing with your feed rates especially on a 3g weld. Also just another FYI. Keep your feeder spring weight really low cause flux is alot softer than regular sgwaw wire. You will constantly be welding the wire to the tip if you don't have your wire speed set with the heat. The tighter the spring the more she will push the wire and the weaker it will get cause the feeder wheels are bitting into the wire.
