What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Have you ever used a dynasty? Could you post a review of your aspect? Disregard if its not an ac/dc tig machine. I've had my dynasty for 4 years and its getting a ton of hours on it. I'm thinking of picking up another but I want to consider the comparable Lincoln model.
Miller Dynasty 280 DX, Lincoln 210 MP, More tools than I have boxes for and a really messy shop.

So i'm still pretty green with tig, so can't really give a full review since I'm still working on running consistent beads. But I did do quite a bit of research before jumping in, previous to this I put maybe a couple hrs on a syncrowave 351.
I originally was planning on a square wave 200 but decided to wait longer till I could afford this aspect. Mostly in a buy once cry once mindset.
I looked into the dynasty line and in my opinion the aspect has as much as the dynasty and at a cheaper price. From what I was reading, the dynasty you have to purchase a "expansion memory card" to get the EN EP independent waveform setting.. it comes on the Lincoln no need to buy it for extra.
I was comparing to the 210 dynasty, and the extra 20 amps on the aspect doesn't hurt on aluminum either. For me I'm glad I went with the aspect.
Keep in mind, if you are looking at the 375 aspect, it only puts out 250 amps on single phase.

Nice cart :)

Yup, and i'm pretty happy with how it turned out. I see you have quite the line up of welders! I had strongly considered the 221 invertig but ended up with the aspect mostly cause I wanted something I could go buy in a weld shop. (i'm in canada)
How do you like the inverarc200?
