I am not the best so I use a large gas lense and way more post flow than normal to C my A on stainless. Don't use too much gas flow as it may create turbulence and effect the full coverage.

Happy New Year.

I have had my dynasty for a little over a year and love it. I love the portability I take it everywhere and its flawless. I do mostly thin fabrication any where fron .040 to 3/16 depending on application. Have done steel stainless aluminum never a problem. Haven't messed with pulse features yet. Mac...

I have a dynasty and have tried red and dark blue. The dark blue 2% lanthanated works or holds up the best for me . I sharpen it like I would for steel and put a flat land on the tip. the red 2% thoriated will work in a bind but splits and spits too much for a critical weld.

Don't know as far as welding but I think loctite made an aluminum thread repair kit that worked like jb weld a paste solution. Don't know about the strength though.

It all depends on needs. You can't use amps you don't have. I am still a noob (in my own mind) I finished tig school at my local comunity colledge last year and bought a dynasty 200 and it was the best money I ever spent. Best advice I can give is learn from someone knowledgable and practice like cr...

Alcohol should be fine to clean you still need to wire brush the joint just prior to welding to remove oxidation with an aluminum dedicated stainless brush.

Only thing I can say is lanthanated tungsten if its an inverter machine. The rest is beyond me sorry.

Cold calls hit machine shops body shops repair shops any company who deals with metal in your area let em know your available to fix what they can't and remember smiles open doors. I finished tig school april last year purely personal needs and saw a busines benefit too. After I got set up dynasty 2...

I have a 200dx and love it. From your post "doing aluminum mostly" I can forsee amperage limit situations with the 200 for you. When I was forum searching for my first tig I was always told you can't use amps you don't have. I guess the big question is how thick of a material am I going to...

OK I am stupid. I only have a year of tig under my belt but in the last vid Jody said it was 1/4 tube and he was at 120 to 135 amps. With the general rule of 1 amp per 1 thousandth of thickness it would logically seem he was too cold. But the welds looked great. I really don't mean to sound stupid b...

I have the clear and 5 shade a bit bulky but work good. Nice foam insert to completely seal around eye area with relief notches to prevent fogging up.

Got it done today with very minimal warpage for my first shot at this. Main thing customer was way more than happy and I got a nice tip ($$). Sorry no pics he grabbed the piece soon as it was cool to show his friends.

Bought a dynasty 200 for my first tig machine soon as i got out of welding school last year and I love it. No complaints at all and I take it everywhere. Just trying to talk myself into the wireless pedal.

Thanks for the tip that was one reason for the high post flow to try and help cover my but a little. Total brainfart on the chill bar we have some good chunks of al I'll try those.

Practiced on some test pieces .060 flat t-weld .040 tungsten .045 filler 65 amps max dynasty 200dx no pulse. Did 2 test pieces on fusion and one with filler both a beautiful gold with some pink or salmon with a little baby blue color. Sorry no pics but the customer was moe than happy with the test p...

200 dx haven't tried any of the pulse features yet but I'll give it a shot on some test pieces.

No where new to tig but I don't do alot of stainless. I have a project to weld 2 1/8 .060 tube verticle to .060 plate to fab guage mounts for a hot rod project. The customer wants to leave the assembly as is post weld for the fabrication apperance (haz and weld color left as welded). Any tips or tri...

thanks for the input but the customer backed out of the deal. I estimated the job at 150.00 for three hours and said I would eat anything over that and they said I was too high.Not knowing what I was getting into with contamination and such I thought it was fair am I wrong? Sorry I don't have any pi...

Thanks for the input.

Cast housing (AL) with 2 mounts with a 1/8 OD steel pin through the middle. Broke the bottom off both lugs, gap from end to end is 3/8. No way to drill new holes for pin if I completely fill exixting hole and build new lug. Is it possible to leave pin in and bridge gap with filler and build up new l...

I'll bite are you talking about ME?

I finally bought 2 and use them both at the same time. Greatly helps my torch and feed hand. I will say they are worth every penny.

Wish I was closer. Would love to help ya burn some metal. Good luck with your project and keep us updated.
