I can look but I think a 30amp breaker is the max needed for it, it may be less than that. I know I had it pegged at 200amps on the machine and it didn't blow the 30amp breaker I am running it on. It has a lot more advanced features than the diversions do.

Cody, just to temp you, the Dynasty 200DX does pulse and all the other stuff, and automatically adapts to 120, 240, or 208 3-phase, and it will never limit your talent. :P

Lucky you!
I talked with a local welding supplier a few days ago about this same unit. With all the accessories needed (foot pedal, torch head, gas regulator etc) they wanted CDN$5k +!!!! :e9

And that's for only the machine and you would be lucky to get it for that, the dx which is what you want is around $3200. Add at least $500 to get enough other parts to get you welding. Like I said I couldn't afford the Miller. That's a lot of money if you don't have paying jobs lined up to help pay for it.

Here is a picture of my Thermal Arc. The way it sits in the pictures with water cooler(used) and I treated my self to a top of the line Jackson auto darkening helmet and I am in it for a lot less than just the machine in a Dynasty. Don't get me wrong the Millers are nice machines and best in the class, you just pay a lot for blue paint.

Where I am at currently with the frame.

Cross bracing and gussets on the front down tubes.

I made the stock foot peg and brake arm mounts disappear.

I am just about done with frame mods for now. I will weld the shock mounts in when I make sure the frame is still(was originally) straight. Rear set mounts, rear frame hoop, and any various odds and ends will come later when the project moves forward a little more. The next installment is the swingarm saga, how difficult could it possibly be? :think:
