The machine can operate in several modes. I use the machine in spot welding mode when I want it to perform similar to a capacitor discharge welder. There is several jewelry oriented welding machines on the market that produce this sort of weld. They are known as pulse welders. My machine has a pulsing mode, which is different from the spot mode. In pulsing mode the machine does not produce a burst of energy. The term pulsing refers to the machines circuitry changing the amperage within the arc during a continuous connection of the arc. The pulser produces an effect similar to a gas torch that is alternately on and off the work in order to control the temperature of the work. The TIG machine has a large range in which the arc can be controlled, which can be adjusted to various metals and tasks. My Dynasty can be set to run a sequence of amperage settings, much like commands are programmed into a computer. The program can be stored if many welds needing the same sequence will be done. This is how machines are set up to weld particular parts. I can also use the machine in straight DC mode, in which any variation of the amperage is controlled instantly by the foot control. Finally I have the ability to weld with alternating current. This is known as AC mode. I have not found an advantage to this mode as yet. AC welding has a great advantage in welding aluminum, and is used when precise aluminum welds are needed. The most common form of aluminum welding is MIG welding. While welding I protect my eyes with an electronic automatic shade.
