I'm just now realizing that I've come across several of your videos. They've been really helpful. I'm surprised your channel isn't bigger, so here's a subscribe, comment and I'll throw a few likes
Thank you so much! I always try to share the info that I'd want to know myself. 🤔 I've noticed that I have a higher than usual percentage of unsubscribed viewers. 🤔 I don't explicitly ask people to subscribe in every video like others do, as I assume that everyone knows they can without me having to say it. 🤔 Perhaps I should start doing so. Every subscriber is greatly appreciated. 🙏 #UA-cam #SharingIsCaring #SubscriberLove
Looks like a good little machine but would be nice if they included a regulator to use gas with solid wire. But looks like it would work for a beginner to starting to learn
These small machines only take small spools. With the short leads, it would be a pain dragging around a bottle. If I was going to hook a bottle up, I would use it to tig. I have a 50amp 220v plug. I did even need to use it. It performed impressive on 110v. Enough that I am getting rid of my only machine and replacing it with this one.
I had the bestarc welder but sadly i returned it because the mig lead was way to short. It welded wonderfully but the mig lead was only about 5 1/2 ft long.
Been prolly 15 years since I tried a small welder like this so might be different now but, the problem I found with these was they don't get hot enough to penetrate 1/4" stock, cold welds...so I found them useless, the millermatic 250 was the way to go Forsure back then..I welded for years but got tired of it...looks like your doing 3/16" stock there had to turn it down so thats good and different from back then...glad to see this one doin what it should at least...but really most are not welding thin stock so i dunno...thanks man...
I remember my dad having around 4 of the Miller 250 and a Lincoln in his shop. I moved to Florida and got one of these small welders. Like you said, if I needed to weld something thick, I had to use my buddies machine. I had planned on taking this to my dad's to test, but I have had it for a couple of months, and it is going to be a while before I get to go. I didn't expect this to work as well as it did. Thinking back, I should have grabbed some thicker metal when I saw how well it did. This was on 110v. I think I mis spoke in the video. I was using 0.040 wire. 60 amps was penetrating all the way through the angle iron. The machine will go up to 145amp. It will weld more than I will ever need. If you watch my video on their plasma cutter, you can hear my dad refer to his other machine. That is a Miller. The Bestarc cutter is around $900 less, weights 75% less, and cut twice as thick metal. The new technology is advancing quick.

Great review, very informative.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for making this video.
I am glad you liked it. I edited it down several times. I tried cutting out all my irrelevant ramblings without losing important content.

If they had put a 12 whip on it, it would be great. As you said, the machine welds great. You just have to keep it close to you.

Nice review.
Currently unavailable on Amazon though.
When I was editing the video, they had them. I just looked on their site and Amazon. They are out both places. I hope they get some more in soon.
