110v TIG
110v TIG I searched and read for a while, and it seems that people are pretty happy with the name brand TIG machines that run 220/110. I want something that is somewhat portable and run off 110 and can hold its own. I can TIG weld very well, I have a miller XMT 350 at work, I use for arc and TIG, some mild steel and lots of stainless and I love TIG welding stainless. I'm not sure if I want to spend that much for a machine to have at home though. I dont think id ever stick weld or weld anything really thick for the most part on my vehicles. I just want the ability to do exhaust, small fab work etc. with it. So im thinking of buying a 110v machine for the price/ portabilitly. Anyone have one that they have used a lot and would like to comment? More towards running it off of 110 that 220. I saw in a few threads people used them on 110 in a pinch and were happy, but what about only running on 110, since more than likely, thats what id be doing.

Check out diversion 165 or check into the dynasty200dx like mentioned above. I just started using the dynasty and it depends on your amps on weather you really need to use 220 or not. (from what I read) Meaning you might be limited to thickness by only using 110.
I say save your money and buy something you cant outgrow. The good thing about inverter based tig machines, is they pull a smaller amount of amps, which works better for garages at home. (plus they are way smaller than transformer based machines)
You can check into a used syncrowave, but it will be bigger and have more demanding electrical hookups. (pulled amps from outlet no 110 hookup)
There is also a non aluminium welding dc only dynasty 200 that is slightly cheaper. ( not anything I would buy )

and there is no dc only dynasty. Every dynasty is ac/dc.
The dynasty sd is a basic one, while the dx has more options, like adjustable wave forms and such.... but both are ac/dc...

I would recommend this if you don't intend to weld aluminum.
I bought other Miller welders from Indiana Oxygen on ebay, quite a bit cheaper than Miller's suggested retail.

Sadly they are doing away with that program, so you have to hurry to get 200 off.
