Answer:
Miller advises that the Miller Diversion 180 TIG Welder 907460 is made completely in the USABy Michael from SoCal on October 16, 2013
Welding thin steel body panels, typically 12 to 19 ga
Steel attachments & brackets made from plate not thicker than 1/4"
Welding aluminum tubing, and aluminum sheet up 3/16" thick
Piecing together stainless tubing headers and exhaust
Are all Miller Welders Made in America or only certain models?
By Customer Service on October 17, 2013
Answer:
The Miller Diversion 180 TIG Welder 907627 would not be a bad choice however it will not be able to handle the 1/4 " material.. The Miller Syncrowave 210 would be an upgrade to the Diversion. It will handle the thicker materials and also has Stick welding capabilities which would allow you to weld even thicker material if needed.. Of course this up grade has a price. The Syncrowave is priced at $2549.00 while the Diversion is priced at $1832.00.. The Syncrowave is also upgradable and expandable through future software upgrades. Both machines as are most Miller welders are made in the USABy Alek from Moor par California on February 3, 2014

Answer:
Probably not. The Miller Diversion 180 TIG Welder 907627 is only rated to weld aluminum up to 3/16" thick. Most aluminum wheels have sections that are greater than 3/16". If your try to weld these thicker sections you will not get enough penetration and the wheel could failBy Jason from Shreveport, LA on April 27, 2016

So, my question is why was my Diversion 180 packaged and sent with different/missing items than Miller claims it comes with??
By Customer Service on December 16, 2013
Answer:
Miller changed the Miller Diversion 180 TIG Welder 907627 package late in the summer of 2013.. The changes included replacing the LS17 torch with a standard WP 17 torch and also deleting the video.. The revised package appeared on our site approx. Sept 1.(once all of our inventory with the LS style torch was gone).Since that date we have only sold the revised package and our site has always reflected these changes.. The Miller 2013 catalog was released in January of 2013 and was never reprinted and up dated when these changes happened and as with all printed material the information published is subject to changeBy Tim from newport News Va. on January 5, 2013

Excellent for welding Aluminum!
January 6, 2017
I took an aluminum tig welding class this summer in Indianapolis and they had this Diversion 180 for me to use. I have a Lincoln presicion tig 225 that I have struggled with trying to weld aluminum. I took the class trying to better my skills. This tig welder blew me away of how well it did on my aluminum class projects! I was better than what I thought when I started using this in class! I was so impressed I replaced my Lincoln with this Miller and never looked back!! Awesome for aluminum and stainless steels!!! Very highly recommended!!!!!!
Pros:Everything about it!! You will not be disappointed at all and Cyberweld is a great place for your welding needs!!Cons:Nothing!!!!!!!! |

Amazingly versatile little welder
December 17, 2016
Just powered up and welded .050 aluminum sheet. Then had to do some stainless repair.
Then tried .100 mild steel ( 12 gauge) . Same result on all of them. Perfect. ( At 120V ! )
If you are learning TIG and want a real welder, I can't think of a better unit. Highly recommend this welder.
Pros:Cyberweld delivered in 2 days. Powered right up. No fuss. Went right to work. |

Miller Diversion 180 Review
August 15, 2016
The Miller Diversion 180 is a great machine that is well worth the money. A great choice for the fabricator and hobbyist. Easy to set up, very to use. The machine does lack some of the features offered by the higher end Miller models but it is still a good machine to start with. I have been using the Diversion for about a month and I am not disappointed. The multi-voltage plug is very handy. Glad I saved the extra money for a machine made in the USA with a warranty!
As for Cyberweld, they have certainly met my expectations. Fast shipping, good prices, good selection of equipment. I look forward to doing business with them again in the future.
Pros:User friendly Easy to set up Well made Great machineCons:No pre/post flow adjustment Torch lead is a hard connection to machine. |

June 19, 2016
after hours and hours of being online reading and watching reviews I settled on this machine, this is the first TIG i have ever owned/used, I obviously need a lot of practice, but so far my welds keep getting better and better every time I use it.
Pros:very light, easy to setup, easy to use |

Best price, super fast shipping
May 13, 2015
My first purchase from CyberWeld, but definitely not my last. Superb service - shipping was fast and the product arrived in perfect condition. Bought this for a hobby machine, and love the dual voltage feature. I'm not worried about duty cycle at high amps, since I'm mainly doing sheet metal work. This 'entry level' TIG machine is easy to set up, comes with everything but the bottle, and should last me for the rest of my life. Nothing but good things to say about the machine, and CyberWeld.
Pros:Easy to set up. Complete system (less bottle). Easy to understand instructions. Very little assembly required. Made in USA.Cons:I didn't buy one sooner. |

Great for small home shop projects.
March 21, 2015
I bought this welder to use at home. I was tired of driving into work on the weekends for small home welding projects. I have used it to fix motorcycle engine cases and yamaha yz85 extended swingarms and it works great? I have only used the 115v plug. I have welded 6061 T6 up to 5mm thick and 50mm long with no issues. I tried one long bead at 300mm long. The fan stayed on a little longer then normal, so I think that is the limit before it would shut down from before over heating.
Pros:Fast and easy set up.Cons:Power cord needs to be longer! |

I have not had the opportunity to use this TIG unit yet, but it's a Miller and I've no worries about it performing as advertised.
What I'm most impressed with are the prices of Cyberweld products and especially their surprising delivery time. I'd resolved myself to having to purchase one of the Chinese imports, but with Cyberweld's low prices I was able to buy a top of the line machine

Miller Diversion Welder
December 27, 2014
I placed my order and a couple of days later my new welder arrived. I've used it only once so far and it worked perfectly.
Pros:Easy to use and set upCons:I felt a little misleading on the Miller $250 rebate. After reviewing what is required to obtain the "rebate" it's difficult for me after spending $1,848 to justify another $250. |

Does everything I've asked of it
November 26, 2014
I'm very much a beginner though I've taken several TIG welding classes. I use the Diversion 180 only for aluminum, mostly 1/8" and it's done everything I ask. It's much easier to use than the 350A Lincoln transformer rig I learned on. I have much better puddle control. It has shut down on me a few times while running really long beads, but no drama. Just wait a few minutes for it to cool down, step on the pedal, and back to work. If you are a pro or need a bigger machine, then it's probably not for you. But as hobbyist I would most likely just misuse the extra features of a Dynasty.
Pros:Everything I need, but no more.Cons:It would be nice if Miller made some additional Multi Voltage Plugs. I have to use a home made adapter to connect the NEMA 10-50 MVP to my NEMA 14-50 outlet. |

Excellent TIG Welder!
August 11, 2014
This is my 2nd TIG welder and I couldn't be more impressed with the ease of use. I went back and forth trying to decide on a model that had a dozen different set up controls and the Diversion 180 with a no-brainer approach. When I realized I'm bad about taking the time to actually do a full set up, I knew this was the welder for me--why complicate things? The foot control and High-Frequency arc start are a must.
Pros:Easy to use and set up Powerful Foot control HF arc start |

Magical welder
March 27, 2014
The good:
I learned to weld in high school, and I took two years of gas welding. I own a stick welder, but I'm terrible at it. This Miller 180 is like magic. I was a pretty good gas welder, but this tig welder is so much better, it's incredible. My first project was welding dissimilar metals with different thicknesses. I used different tig rods, and everything worked perfect. The foot control is the cats meow, I love it. I bought a Miller welding helmet that automatically darkens when I start my welds, and it's magic too. The high frequency starts is incredible, it will send an electrical arc an inch or two if you press the pedal to the floor. Seriously, this will do anything it seems.
The bad:
They should have made it clearer that the torch only comes with a single size tip. You need to purchase all the sizes available so you can use the full potential of this machine.
The torch, foot pedal, and welder is a perfect match. I love it.

Pros:Operation as I expected, flawless. Hope it last for years. Used with a generator 220 volts no problems.Cons:Only one thing working at 120 amps the torch will get pretty warm, had to take a breather. Also you will need a 30 amp breaker at 110 volts @120 amps, longer than 10 minutes. |

Great welder
June 2, 2013
Ive had this welder for 2 years and its done everything I've needed it to do, for thick aluminum I just added helium and got smooth clean welds. As far as the torch and hose goes I've replaced with a more flexible hose and smaller torch from HTP. I've also changed out the foot pedal to a larger one with a lot more range for better arc control. May try a water cooler just for the fun of it.
 Pros:Welds great for hobby welders can change pedal, hose, torchCons:No ac balance control |

Up and running
February 26, 2013
I haven't welded in over 10 years. Was more of a stick and MIG welder when I did weld. I learned TIG enough to have great respect for it. Within a few tries I was producing beautiful well penetrated welds on .125"+ mild steel and stainless steel. Thin material is giving me real trouble but I suspect that is because I was a structural welder and rarely attempted thin material. I have very little experience with Aluminum. It is a strange animal and is also giving me real trouble. It is like it doesn't want to form a puddle until it is ready to completely disintegrate.
Pros:It is easy to use and set-up. There are not any settings that I am unsure of. I know when the machine is set-up and I need to quit messing with the controls and work on my welding.Cons:low duty cycle The post gas flow setting seems to waste a lot of gas on my volume challenged bottle. |

This Machine Rocks
January 10, 2013
I've got this one and a Miller Dynasty 200DX that costs about 3x as much. I still use this one more. The DX kills on aluminum, but the 180 does steel really nicely. Love the ergonomics on the torch, the foot pedal is great, and that it just uses an (easily replaceable) ethernet cable is awesome. Only complaint is that the postflow is too long. Other than that, it works really well.

Great Welder!
November 1, 2012
I haven't tig welded in many years and I'm not a professional welder, but this welder has made it easy. My welding cart was my first project. I was able to make it out of stainless steel thanks to the ability of the DIV 180 to weld so many different types of metal. I'm still trying to perfect my methods, but some of my welds looked professional and although I was getting better with practice, the welder made it easy to produce professional looking welds. I honestly think this would be the perfect welder for the money if they only would have put a flowmeter instead of a pressure regulator in the deal, especially since every spec I found related to flow and not pressure.
   Pros:Great price! Great welder! Miller reputationCons:A pressure regulator is provided instead of a flow meter. |

Very Happy!
October 29, 2012
I was looking for a GTAW for home / garage use. A friend on mine has the Dynasty 200 and was very impressed. I just did not want to fork out $4000 for a set up.
After reviewing the Diversion 180 on multiple web sites an Youtube I decided to give it a shot.
Oh another factor was my garage was wires for 230 / 30 amp. ( Perfect for the 180 )
Wow I'm happy with the performance! I've had the unit for about 1 month now and completed 2 projects.
A welding bench and a pedestal for my bench grinder.
And even though Miller states 3/16" max on steel, I had no problem welding 1/2"
   Pros:Affordable Small and easy to move 110/220 volt Made in AmericaCons:Not being able to change to a different weld torch. |

very good buy

i do alot of side welding on aluminum on motorcycles and dog boxes and boats. it runs a very steady arc and smooth start and stops and the automatic cut off on the torch saves argon. it was well worth the buy.

Simple and effective
May 9, 2012
The only thing missing is a frequency adjustment for AC welding. For my fabrication work this welder works great. It does run on 110V, but its a bit doggie. Runs very well on 230V. Gas post flow is a bit long and there is no adjustment for that. The gas regulator could use a cfm gage, it only has a pressure gage.
Pros:Light weight Portable Simple Relatively powerful with 180A on 230V Quiet fan operation, smart energy designCons:No AC frequency adjustment No gas volume gage, only pressure gage Power cord could be longer |

Ultimate personal use TIG machine.
March 11, 2012
So far I've really liked this welder. Having used mostly MIGs, this is indeed my first and the purchase was well worth it. I've welded mostly Aluminum with it (4340 and cast parts). The steel stuff I had I've fusion welded it and have worked very well. The weld quality turned out excellent (prep work has a lot to do with it also). For a personal/hobby use, you can't go wrong here. It is an AC/DC inverter welder and to guys who are used to traditional transformer TIGS may be blown away with what it can do with a 115V plug. My MIG is a MillerMatic Passport (also an Inverter based machine purchased here at Cyberweld) and after seeing how easily maneuverable the MIG was I knew the TIG I were to purchase would be a Miller Inveter machine. For half the cost of a Dynasty 200DX, the Diversion 180 is definitely not half the machine.
Pros:Half the price of the Dynasty 200DX and isn't half the machine. Comes with foot and finger tip current control. The on-off finger switch has unique controls (refer to manual). The machine is luggable, comes with cart plans and does AC welding. Settings that most beginners are not able to understand and adjust are fixed ( pre-flow,post-flow, positive/negative balance and frequency) and quick reference card in front allows you to setup the remaining parameters at a glance within seconds. |

Great welder for the money, sort of?
March 9, 2012
I wanted a smaller maching comming down from a Miller Sycrowave 200 to the Diversion 180. It does work and does everthing it is suppost to do but I was'nt happy with it and have since sold it at a loss. I only used it less than 30 days. I will save my cash till the Dynasty series comes down a little in price.
Pros:Size and weight make it really portable.Cons:I know price is a factor but "all" tig welder need adjustable frequency if your messing with aluminum. |

Great Welder, Great Shop, Great Experience!
March 3, 2012
Every single forum I went to described purchasing this item as ither the bigest mistake you could get yourself into or not a good move. If you are into production (AKA welding every day for long periods of time) maybe this is not it. But if you are like me, I just don't see where you could go wrong. As of today, I have not even once hit the alleged duty cycle capping. The welder has performed under stress for all of my practice runs. I am glad I went with the 180 instead of the lower level as the added pedal and ability to use either 110 or 220VAC is one utter must!
Buying from Cyberweld was also a pleasing experience. Item took a little bit longer than I anticipated but it was Christmas week, so what can I expect? Even with all the latencies associated with the season, I got my item in a very reasonable time.
Pros:Current control with both hand torch and pedal current digital display 110 VAC and 220 VAC power plugCons:Cannot think of any dislike! |
