Synchrowave 200 limits

admin

Hey all.  I am looking to find the limits of the Synchrowave 200.  Will it properly weld 1/4" mild steel?  What are the limits on Aluminum?  I am thinking of getting one.  My Airgas salesman didn't seem to know.  I have been searching for a while and can't find specific info.  ThanksTyler
Reply:I just READ the info  on "Millerwelds.com"  it is rated for 1/4"aluminum -so 1/4"steel should be NO problem. it says it's rated 150 amps @40% duty cycle , goes to 200 amps . That would weld 70-18 stick (D C )0r 7024  jet rod (on ac)  just fine . I don't know why anybody wants to tig mild steel, unless it's very thin .
Reply:More for the appearance sake of things.  I wanted to tig a roll cage.  The cage would be DOM.  I was just wondering the limits of the machine.  It will be used for some aluminum and some stainless also.
Reply:It will be perfect for what you are wanting. DOM for the cage is gonna be around .125" so you will have plenty of juice. It will do AL fine but 1/4" will probably be near the limit, depending on pre-heat etc.Millermatic 251Century 180 migSpectrum 625 Syncrowave 250DX

Reply:Over 30 years ago I was trying to make up my mind over dial arc 200 and the Miller 330 ab/p.  I went with the 330.  It was about 300 dollars more but I never regreated my choice.  A friend of mine bought the dial arc, which is a fine machine, but I ended up making some money welding some aluminum that he could not handle on his machine.I recommend buying the 350 syncrowave.  You won't be sorry.
Reply:It would be nice to have a larger machine but I just don't have the cash right now and I am needing a machine. I am excited about it.  I will post pics of a smoker I have started when I can find the charger to my digital camera.  I will also post pics of the cage as soon as the tubing gets here.
Reply:Well, I decided on the Sychrowave 200.  Should be here sometime this week.  I appreciate everyones help.  I will post some pics when I get some good ones.
