Default New garage toy

Picked this up last week for a couple of projects. Its millers dual voltage setup so it switches from 110v to 220v with just swaping the end of the plug. Built some new barn doors for my dump trailer, then I went today to dump a load of scrap metal and tore off the wood side boards I put on it. Looks like this weeks project is to build new sideboards.

Nice. If you don't mind me asking, how much was it? Did you buy it new?

Sweet toy I have one too. For me personally I should have gone with the 252, the duty cycle on the DVI2 isn't so sweet on the thicker stuff. It is nice since I've only got one 220 plug; I can use that on 110 and plug the dynasty into the 220. I haven't had any issues welding up to 1/4" with it on 220.

I paid about 1200 for mine at the local welder supply store...
