help me pick a welder TIG Syncrowave

admin

I want to start learning how to weld 304 Stainless Schedule 10 and make Exhaust manifolds for cars and intercoolers. Which welder would be best for me? i was looking at getting a Miller Syncrowave 200 or the 250DX ? Any recommendations
Reply:I bought a SW250 fifteen years ago. The only change I'd make now, is to get a water-cooler. Weld times are limited by how hot I can hang on. In class, with a water-cooled torch, I can weld all night = 3 hours, with the same welder.9-11-2001......We Will Never ForgetRetired desk jockey. Hobby weldor with a little training.

Reply:Buy as big (amp output) as your wallet and power available allow.The Sync 250 is a significantly more capable machine than is the Sync 200.  Allow a couple of hundred dollars for adding pulse to the Sync 250.  Pulse standard on the newer Sync 200's.Old saying in welding, "You can't use amps you didn't buy".Syncro 250 DX Dynasty 200 DXMM 251 w/30A SG XMT 304 w/714 Feeder & Optima PulserHH187Dialarc 250 AC/DCHypertherm PM 1250Smith, Harris, Victor O/ASmith and Thermco Gas MixersAccess to a full fab shop with CNC Plasma, Water Jet, etc.
