Hi I am new to the forum, I live in Connecticut and I build all types of hotrods, I've been using a Miller matic 35 and would like to step up to a tig welder,it will probably save me a ton of money in grinding discs (you know what I mean) I was all prepared to buy a Miller dynasty 300DX until someone recommended that I buy the synowave 250 DX , being that I dont know allot about tig welders I would really like to know the difference between the 2. What features does the 300dx have that the 250dx doesnt? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks Dave
Reply:Here's something I found on the internet and was wondering how true it is? Thanks daveCONS OF DYNASTYThe biggest disadvantage to any inverter based TIG is they are the most complicated ( electronically ) power supply in the welding world. First inverters are much more complicated than traditional rectifier machines. AC Tigs double this inverter complexity ! If a board or switching device goes after the warranty period you will most likely scrap the machine.Synchrowave 250s are a mature product ( been around for a long time ) and are extremely reliable. They are simple and parts are inexpensive ( there are waaaay more Synchrowave 250s around than there will be Dynastys, so parts are more common )
Reply:First off, I strongly recommend the Dynasty 300DX Tigrunner.The Dynasty 300DX is based on true advanced squarewave technology while the Syncrowave 250DX is not. At 60% duty cycle the Dynasty and Synchrowave output are about the same, but at 100% duty cycle the Dynasty is 180A where the Syncrowave is 150A. The input current for the Dynasty at rated output is 63A @ 230V and the Syncrowave is as high as 96A @ 230V depending on configuration. As for AC work the balance control settings (penetration/cleaning) are less adjustable compared to the broad range capabilities on the Dynasty. Also the output frequency of the Synchrowave is only 60Hz whereas the Dynasty can be set anywhere from 200Hz on down. Because the Dynasty is a true advanced squarewave machine it is possible to use sharpened point electrodes for either DC or AC work. The Dynasty comes with pulsed DC tig control whearas the Synchrowave supports only as an option. Obviously there are other advantages that I did not mention, but these are just the ones off of the top of my head. It is true that most people who sight the reason that the Synchrowave is tride and true and the Dynasty is new and based on electronics prone to failure usually don't understand the details and the fundamental advancements that inverter technology brings. The inverter allows the system to run from several power sources, adjust the output waveforms to various frequencies and balances, and provide a much more stable and controlable arc. The dynasty is smaller, more capable, and consumes less power. Hope this helps.
Reply:If a board or switching device goes after the warranty, you dont scrap the machine. But you do have to pay more money for repairs as the new technology is more expensive to get up and running again. Personally, I dont like Miller's machines, but I have used the syncrowave 250 and like it, no experience with the dynasty.A few of my toys !LinuxMintManjaroMiller Roughneck 2E Lincoln WeldPak 100HTP MTS 160 Chicago Electric 80amp Inverter Victor O/A
Reply:I want to thank everybody that replied, the information was very helpful
Reply:Hotrod, Welcome. I am from CT as well. I had a synch 180sd (2004) machine. I got rid of it and got a Dyn 200DX machine. I just got this machine and have not used it much, but I must say it is much better than the 180 that I had. It sings on alum. too.T.J.www.tjsperformance.com |
