They have a tremendous amount of settings pulse being one that are beneficial to low amperage welding and spot welding of thin sheet metal much thinner than on the average car.The disadvantage to the dynasty is the cost.A little steep for a toy in the shop.I am presuming you have your dial arc set up for scratch dc tig. That is very doable to an accomplished weldor under the correct settings just takes a little patience and knowledge.Good results have been gotten that way for years. R |

Re: welders?
Your correct im sure because in all honesty im not totally up to speed on the Dynasty they got me at work.
Most things I weld up at work are heavy plate and 6” and up pipe….w stick and mig. The TIG gets used more for peoples personal projects ... mostly aluminum but the little I have used it on light gage steel and stainless it behaves very similar to what iv got at my home shop. |

Re: welders?
Lots of good tips for welding sheet metal with a MIG welder. They say that 75% of welding problems are the ability to see what you are doing. Good tip about the .023 soft wire, and the pressure. My Lincoln 140 recommends Argon/CO at 25-40#s. I have good luck welding sheet metal with .023. Back it up, especially filling holes with copper plate. The tip on the soft wire is a good one, thank you Fordbarners.
