Almost NOOB, getting ready to order a 200DX

[Blake80486]

Well, I'll be moving and of April, and finally have a shop again.
I'm looking into making custom bike frames, I have some plans for a kiln (heat treating) and think I have a way to hydroform aluminum.
Wish I could afford the 250EX, but realistically it'll probably be the 200DX, though I do plan to get a wp-20 style torch and build a water chiller.
I've got the rad from an old (50's probably) 2 cylinder peter engine, it's about 18"x18"x3" and should dissipate enough heat even without a fan (though I'll probably add a slow one).

You will love the Powertig 200DX ... GR8 machine!

I'll second Winky on that one. The Everlast 200DX is a really nice welder. Nice feature set and stable, reliable arc.

The 200DX is a great machine. I'm a fan of small torches so for most of my stuff it's an air cooled WP-9 (.120 wall DOM (Chopper frames)
and the lightest whip I can find. Always hated big bulky torches.

Well, my name is down for when they come in stock.
Going to use the stock torch for now, had to tighten my budget.
