As for the 210DX, I would love to own that. But it is probably $1000 over my budget. Considering that a base machine is $4000 without a torch kit, pedal or regulator. That will likely be $4600 when all said and done. I haven't seen any rebates. If I can get the 210DX completed for $3600ish, it woul...

To be honest, I don't currently know what features I want or what is important. One of the reason I am trying to get all the features I can. I might never need it. But I think as I advanced in my skill sets, a lot of features I will start using. It was similar to my MIG machine. I ended using a lot...

Either will do more far more than you'll need them to, I'd go with the Aspect 230 if I didn't care about the price difference simply for a higher duty cycle and 10 more amps. What do you suspect you'll be welding? I will likely start off with mild steel. Various home projects. But eventually I woul...

Thank you everyone. BF200 is for $5000+ purchase.

Has anyone every order from www.weldingdeals.com?

I guess the bigger discount would be a reliable vendor that doesn't charge tax for purchase in California. Do anyone know one?

Thanks but didn't work.

I didn't see anything at IOC. I tried adding and checkout, but no discount taking off. The HOLIDAY20 code gave me $40 off.

Just wondering if there is any great deals for Lincoln welder (specifically Aspect 230) during this Black Friday that someone is willing to share. I have not seen anything.

Thanks for the Primeweld suggestion, but I am in that boat of "buy the best you can afford". Then you might also consider the Dynasty 210DX. Arguably the best TIG box on the market. Used by more folks, local repairs, decades of availability. The only knock I see against an HTP is that it ...

I am not sure if either of these feature differences matter to you, but the Aspect 230 has a higher pulse rate on AC than the Invertig 221. The 221 is limited to 10 pulses per second on AC, which has always seemed to me to be the one drawback of this machine. The aspect will pulse up 25% of your AC...

Well kinda sorta. What I would want in the 221 I already have in the invertig 400 :D. When compared to more modern machines it lacks different waveforms, mixed AC pulse, higher "rated" duty cycle (even though its no slouch either in the real world), adjustable hot start, would be some ite...

Without a doubt for the money, the HTP is very, very good machine. But, depending upon your actual need, there are many other machines you might consider in that price range as well as much less expensive units. For instance, PrimeWeld makes a very good AC/DC TIG that sells for about $800. Really, ...

@Oscar. Is there something that you would want on the HTP that isn't there now?

So I have been lurking. Registered for this specific question. Given that Black Friday is around the corner, I thought I should decide just in case the deal of the century comes around. Unfortunately I haven't seen much as far as deals. I have seen that Oscar is a big fan of HTP. I know his passion ...

I am a hobbyist. Been welding with a Miller MIG for a few years. I have been wanting to get into TIG. For the purpose of just learning. I am pretty sure I will find use for TIG. I have narrowed it down to the Lincoln Aspect 230 ($3500) or the HTP ($3000). On the HTP, it is the 110/220v with 25 ft to...

I just wanted to introduce myself. Been larking a bit on the forum and decided to register. I am a hobbyist. Been MIG welding for a few years. I would like to get into TIG welding. Planning to ask for advice on machines. Soon I will post my question in the appropriate forum.
