arc master 200 ac/dc

admin

Does anyone here have one yet? Obviously a little more power than the 185 unit. I remember someone here saying they get around 200 amps output on dc from their 185. Do you think a 200 could get a little more that the rated dc output? Seems like a much better deal than the dynasty 200 dx...I have recently sold off everything and and want to get a arcmaster 200.thanks

Reply:I have the 185 that WILL put out 200 amps DC tig all day.  I have checked it more than once with more than one meter.  I think they are the same machine.I was looking at the 185.  I asked the dealer about the 200 amp machine.  Its still rated for 160 stick, so......Not much of a better machine in my eyes.  15 amps tig, none more stick for about $400.00 more.  I bought the 185.  I have used it a lot, sometimes all day.  Never hit thermal over load.   You will never hit thermal overload with an air cooled torch anyhow.  I have a water cooled torch and used the heck out of it.DavidReal world weldin.  When I grow up I want to be a tig weldor.

Reply:Unless you need to run it on 3-phase, get the 185.  The extra money for the 200 isn't worth it unless you need the 3-phase connection ability, in my opinion anyways.MM350P/Python/Q300MM175/Q300DialarcHFHTP MIG200PowCon300SMHypertherm380ThermalArc185Purox oaF350CrewCab4x4LoadNGo utilitybedBobcat250XMT304/Optima/SpoolmaticSuitcase12RC/Q300Suitcase8RC/Q400Passport/Q300Smith op
