I am looking forward to purchasing a Dynasty 200 DX but I have a question about the "dry" torch. The salesman told me that welding above 150 amps would nessitate a water cooled torch. I have only used TIG machines with water coolers so I have no idea. Is he trying to hook me for another $500.00 ? If anyone out there has a Dynasty 200 give me some feedback on it - good or bad. Thanks, Lunar
Reply:i dont have one but i have use lincolns version, it boils down to this lunar #1 how many times do you think that you will be using 150 amps ? and if you are going to use this machine all the time.imo if i was going to drop all that $$$$ the water cooler is a good investment. it doesnt limit you like the aircooled torch will, what would you do if you had a aluminum job that was 1/4 in thick i would also shop around try brwelder.com they do alot of ebay stuff might be good for you. i wouldnt look at the water cooled torch as extra $$$ but as a investment and protection for you new investmentcheck it out, brian
Reply:A cooler kind of defeats the purpose of the Dynasty. The dynasty weighs 45# the coolmate 3 weighs 39#, coolmate 4 weighs 44#.I have a 180SD, prior to getting my spool gun I welded 1/4" Diamond plate with the 150 amp air cooled torch. If your dong heavy production work, and want to deal with the extra stuff, a water cooled torch and cooler would be the way to go. Otherwise use the money for gas, and a good Auto helmet
Reply:ive got one and it is awesome!! and your good to 140 amps in small intervals.. you might strech it a lil with a difusser cup and a little more CFM's.. anyway if your gonna hang up there at the 150 range + you need the cooler. ive done some really neat antique repair on brass that involved a really tight 175 amps for a short period of time and its no problem. see ya cajun
Reply:While the cooler would add weight to your setup, think about how much lighter it'll still be than say the older Hobart and Miller units. It'll still be lighter than old skool gear. |
