I know with zoro's 30% off specials they run, you can get a Dynasty 200dx to your doorstep under $3k. The HTP doesn't have the level of advanced features the Dynasty has and neither does the Lincoln, I used to own the V205T. Didn't like the control interface and no saved settings feature Lincoln ha...

HTP has a good reputation for customer service. For what it is, a one-location distributor of Italian-made Stel welding machines, you couldn't ask for more. Being that they are their only dealer/distributor gives them more control, but of course if something were to need service beyond what phone-l...

yeah I wished I had not missed the Black Friday sale, cuz I may already have ordered it with the $200 off and $100 in extra stuff...I called them this morning to see if they might extend the sale, but that was a nogo...I really like what that machine has to offer.

Thanks for the info

http://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=8579 one of the best bang-for-the-buck AC/DC dual-voltage machines. You'd be hard-pressed to out-grow this machine's capabilities unless you're doing some very specialized work. You'll know which one I'm talking about after you click the...

The "arc pig" is an in-line Tesla coil that drops out as soon as welding current is established. It does not do HF continuous. It only does HF start, and does not care if it's stick or TIG. DC only. Steve S Might that make it easier to start or restart 7018? HF wouldn't care if flux gets ...

If you dig a little deeper, you will find that pretty much no one ever has had a complaint with the HTP welder or HTP America's service. Literally, I don't think I have ever read a bad review of this machine or ever heard of one failing. I think it is the absolute best deal of the three. I know a l...

You might also consider if the machine needs repair (warranty or otherwise) does it need to be shipped somewhere or is there a local welding supply that is authorized to do the work. Richard This is why a Lincoln would interest me because I know parts and shops are available to do repairs locally. ...

I don't want to break any rules here. But Mr. TIG will say anything to sell a machine and make a buck, I won't. He is only an average welder, not world renowned at anything. Rarely does close ups of his welds and bans people that call him out on it on his site. He had been banned multiple times fro...

You can get away without a cooler on a 200 amp machine if you are not running in a production setting a or doing a lot of long weld at max amps. The Lincoln you mention, was just released. So not many out there yet, there is a thread about them on welding web forum, One person just had there's give...

There are no "cons" on the Invertig221 .....Snip.... That being said, I would still love to try a Miller Dynasty 210 or 280dx one day. So far everything I've read reviews and YouTube backs up this claim, I even found a YouTube clip from a fella named Matt Pratt https://m.youtube.com/watch...

I realize this topic has been done many times by others, but everyone has their own preferences and opinions. I have researched and read reviews on many machines. I would love to just get a miller dynasty and call it a day, but that is out of my budget parameters, so I have narrowed my my choices do...

Mine is still in the box but, if I recall correctly it comes with a wire attached to the Arcpig that you run to the torch and a button lever you zip tie to the torch you are using and when you push the button it initiates the HF arc which will then trigger the torch start, but I never hooked mine up...

I own an Arcpig but I can't say how well it works because I have never hooked it up. I bought it for my Bobcat 250 to get into tig but haven't found the time to set it up...anyway I intend to get a standalone tig welder. I been looking at the new Lincoln square wave 200 but there aren't any reviews ...

I don't know about which as far as corrosion but if it's not too thick I know water jet can cut stainless on my Avatar is a 17" stainless custom wind vane I made and mounted it on top of my house it sits 40' in the air in all types of weather 24/7-365 I haven't noticed any of the shiney fading ...
