I currently have a Hobart Handler 150, original 220v transformer based MIG, a Dynasty 200DX/coolmate 400 and a MM350P with a 25' XR-Aluma Pro and a Bernard Q300 gun and a Hypertherm Powermax 45.

Getting older, not doing anywhere as much as planned. Haven't powered up the welders for 4 years after moving. The Dynasty replaced a old Miller Econo-Twin HF and the Hobart was the first mig.....

The Handler 150 is very nice, but maybe not as versatile as I would like and 220v only. The 350P is obviously more than I need, but it's a great machine.

Dielima, I have considered selling the 150 and 350P and possibly replacing with a Millermatic 255. I like the idea of experimenting with pulsed MIG. For years I had an eye on the Multimatic 215, but didn't think I really need the multi process. With that, the 200DX will do 150A TIG & 130A DC stick @60% and the Multimatic 255 will do 275A TIG & 200A stick @60%.

I guess I need to decide on the TIG needs, because I should be able to get by on thick material with ⅛ stick multipass @130A.

Any thoughts or recommendations?

I ran at least 700 lb of tig and stick filler through a 150 stl. Before it cooked. Obviously no ac but it’s light and easy. They have a version that has hf. Cheap and 120/240. What do you want to weld and what do you expect to realistically weld. If ac is a maybe then stick with a dc machine and jut rent an ac machine when you know you need it.

On 240v, your Dynasty will do 200 amps TIG and Stick.i think all you need to do is decide on a MIG box.

Pulsed-spraying Monster right there (if you are open to other makes/models of welders)
