The description says this is a 200DX but, if you look closely at the picture, it says 200X on the side of welder. I'm confused, which one is this?

It appears that the "D" is an error that shows up on AHP's website as well as on Amazon. As of March '14, all the older versions have been sold out, AHP has only the latest models of 200X TIG welder available.

I hope to try the welde this weekend. I hope it works like they say it does on you tube. Am not very impresed with suppot from manufacture or amazon

That's very interesting, good catch Mark! Mine says 200X on the side of the case, and looking at Alpha TIG's own website they also have a picture of the 200X in the description of the 200DX (http://www.ahpwelds.com/alphatig-200dx-igbt-tigstick-welder-with-pulse-110v-200v-p-72.html click on the picture of the machine). I am not sure what is up with that to tell you the truth, it seems like the "stenciling department" might have forgotten to add the D, or perhaps we are being sent the non-D version. If the D stands for dual voltage, rest assured the 200X is capable of that.

I just bought the hobart 190. I am waiting for delivery. I spent 2 weeks decideing between the hobart and the eastman. I decided welders are like golf clubs. If you buy cheap you will never know whether is you or the machine that laid the ugly weld. In my case it will take the excuses away.

First of all I am very happy with my hot max Welder. the 50/60 hz relates to what power source you have. basically what country you are in. The Hobart uses 60 hz which means it will run in the US and any other country that uses 60 hz. It Plugs into 220 V AC the welder puts out DC voltage. You will have to put your own Plug on it to plug it in to 220. there are so many different styles to choose from that I believe this is why they ship it this way. Again, very happy with it. I use it in my Auto/Truck Repair Business. If you have any other question please feel free to ask. Hope this helps.

I don't know the answer, I ordered a DC330B XRP 18 Volt regular Jig Saw for $105.00. The box said DC330B XRP, exactly what I ordered. When I opened the box and inspected the Bare Tool, I noticed that it was all scuffed up, and not even the right tool, it said it was a DC330. It looks like someone swapped the tool. I called Amazon to complain about the error and they sent me a paid postage through my email address....I haven't heard anything since. my email address is dwightbyron@hotmail.com

I have a 125 welder and this only uses flux core, I also, have a 140 with shielded gas and it use both flux core and solid wire.

Weld is on passenger side. It can be flipped over to get on driver side but that changes the height.

What type & dia. stick rods are you welding with? The smaller 6010/ 6011 X 3/32" dia., usually burns hot BUT the riostat should still work to some degree but cause a much colder start whereby making it harder to keep an arc. Welding on thin metal will also appear to make turning down the amps not very effective. Try welding on 1/4" - 1/2" & adjust the amps up & down...if you still don't see any difference, then your amp adjustment is defective. I have no problems with my welder and am very happy this its performance. Thanks!

--&gt; It is the best way,You should ask the seller ( in " contact seller " on product's web page ) : This tool has the model number 11063 or 11063W( PRINTED ON THE TOOL) . _ I think that : This tool has the model number 11063W .Because of, the technical Detail said that . _ I think that the product Detail is for the pictured reference of product only , thank .

All AHP 200 welders sold in 2014 and later are the 200DX models. They are marked on the outer case as 200X but that is just a silk screen marking. The difference in the welders is noted by the markings on the front panel adjustment knobs. I purchased the 200DX and its is a great machine and if you have a $670 price quote that is an excellent value for this machine. I am a user of the welder and do not represent the MFG in any way. Visit the AHP.com website for more information on the welder and the customer support contact phone number.

Hi Oscar, it comes with all the upgrades, you can see the great quality of this welder as soon as you get it out of the box, get this welder you won't be disappointed.

Your best bet is to call the Hobart help number that is listed in the welder documentation. They are very helpful in trouble shooting, plus if there is a warranty problem that call will begin the correction process. Meanwhile make sure your connections are good.

The manufacturer's website (which you should check out before purchasing for lots of useful information regarding these welders) http://www.everlastgenerators.com states that it should be capable of 60% duty cycle as full current 250A. This is better than most other welders in its class, but it achieves this by having an always on cooling fan which some people find to be loud. The fan hasn't really bothered me, though.

I'm guessing you already got your answer, but I figure I would post for anyone else who might want it. The 250a is not a model number. That's just describing 250 AMPS. The 250EX is a 250 AMP TIG welder without the plasma cutter feature of the multi-process 250S listed here.

its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting... » Read More its a great welder. i mainly run it on 220volts. just welded up my frame and made hardcore plate bumper. very strong. i also had to make floor pans out of 18 gauge. the original pans were probably only 22 and some spots kinda thin. it did very well. half way through i ran out of wire and had to use 0.35 flux and still performed well. the settings are fine and honestly only use three of them one for thin another for exhaust and than all the way with thick. i mainly change the wire speed. i have ran at max for probably too long many times and no problems. only tricky thing was first setting up wire tension. now it never jams. overall love it « Show Less

Carl I ordered a 185, but the were back ordered and I was upgraded to a 200. Mine came with regulator valve, a foot control, a TIG torch and a stick electrode holder. I do not care for the stick electrode holder, but I bought the unit strictly to TIG weld. My welder works great. I assume the 185 comes with the same package. Dave Browning.

I am by no means an expert as this was also my first welder. In my opinion it is close to the absolute minimum to do any serious welding. Buy anything smaller and you will be upgrading very soon. No it can not be use as a stick (arc) welder.
