That's great, I'm looking forward to getting the new machine.We should get it next week. I love new toys, C...

what machine to buy?
Hi all. My shop is getting certified for aluminum. And the boss finally is going to buy a new machine. Which one to get, dynasty 400 or a syncrowave 350. Now we have a squarewave 250( and its 15-20yrs old). I'm thinking the dynasty 400, the cwb inspector recommended the dynasty.
