This is a great all around machine. It's the perfect Big Welder for any level and its a great value. The great thing about this machine is I can tig weld aluminum vs using a spool gun on the mig welder. These AC/DC machines can cost upward of $3K. The video will show you how easy it is to get started in tig welding. We try to keep things as entertaining as possible on the Spicer Designs Channel. There will be more of these videos to come, so make sure you subscribe so you can follow along. Thanks for watching!

LOL!! I’m not certain that everyone understands how much planning, effort and editing it takes to make videos the way that you do. I appreciate it a lot….. For a “shy guy” you sure can crack me up!
Thanks John! It is very time consuming. I appreciate you acknowledging that. Im glad you get a kick out of it too.
Makes me what to buy what ever he is selling even if i do not know WTF to do with it hahahha
I need to get a welder and learn to weld, but I watch a lot of content creators to see their style. Easy to see that you put a lot of effort into these infotainment videos. Good job. Tractor Hard! 🚜💪!
Welding is definitely a handy skill to have. Im good with mig and stick. Tig is a work in progress. Thanks for the comment
Welding tips and tricks had some great videos on tig
Dude the cell phone behind the welding lens, badass man!!! I’ve suggested that to a few ppl before but you already know what’s up!!! Awesome man
A tip for the gas. Usually your CFH comes from your cup size. Generally CFH = 2.5x your cup. So you used a number 6 cup equals 15 CFH. Too much gas is a bad thing.
Also, if you’re right handed, try using your left foot for your pedal. Seems weird but an old timer told me that years ago. It works.
Another thing. You want to get that puddle going within a couple of seconds. That’s why your weld is gray. Get a fast puddle and go. Tig isn’t as slow as people think.
Overall, not bad for a beginner.
Thanks for the advice!
@@SpicerDesignsLLC No problem! Any further questions feel free to ask! You've helped me out a lot with the plasma table stuff so I'll return the favor.
Got this welder on BFCM sale with a whole bunch of goodies for right around 1200ish. Really for just hobby motor sport build, but overall I love it , just have to keep practicing tig till you get it. I have about 5 or more solid hours on the machine as a newbie and still have some grey stainless welds lol
I was thinking you made a D, eez nuts sign.. a D at one end and nuts at the other.. lol..
Its a priceless piece of art. Probably worth millions.
Good evening, thanks for the content. Always enjoyable and informative.
Seriously, people thought that you actually smashed that welder with your tractor. LMFAO :) They need to get a Life. Great video. Looks like a very useful and cost-effective product.
Thanks for the video :) Numb Nuts LOL
Haha! Thanks buddy. And yes… i had multiple comments saying i was an idiot for smashing that welder. Was pretty funny
Thank you for the content I always look forward to what you have to up load. Your TIG welds are pretty good for a beginner and it’s commendable to see you showcase your welds here where the trolls will always look for something you do wrong. Feeding the filler rod is just something you have to practice over and over to keep it controlled. I couldn’t tell you how many times I stuck it to the electrode.
Thanks you. I dont mind putting it out there. We all have to start somewhere and ill continue to practice. Thanks for the pointer. Definitely a lot of moving parts to tig welding
I’m not sure I am coordinated enough to run a foot pedal.
You should get Keystone Girl to run the pedal while you weld. Team weld….
Now that would be funny.
Nice videos..I can really feel the effort you put into creating this engaging content. Just keep practicing and look forward to seeing more interesting content from you.
Super solid start for your first beads
1) maintain a short arc length! Approximately the distance from the work piece as of your tungsten 3/32 or less! Any longer or higher and affect multiple things i.e. shielding gas flow (gray oxidation) keep a tight arc focuses the heat on the work.
Keep up the good work and burn some rod
Thanks buddy, i appreciate it.
Sure thing Man! Actually you should keep your torch in as close as you can w/o dipping your tungsten, then you should have the right amount of penetration and you will have better control of the weld pool. Dip filler rod between the tip of your tungsten and the leading edge of the pool for best results.
Rock On 🤘
@@kevintaylor113 thank you. Great info. I will definitely apply all the tips.
I never wore a glove holding fill rod. Makes it wayyyyy easier to feed. If I was doing a short weld/stitch, I might not wear glove holding torch, unless the torch was getting fairly warm. Usually used a Miller stl 150 or 161.
I liked this video on the ArcCaptain. It makes me want to get one. Including the foot pedal.
No bs, its a really nice welder. Makes me excited to get better at it. Im actually working on another arccaptain video now. Different welder though.
What a coincidence. I watched Jerryrigeverything's latest video just before this one and you mentioned that channel in this video. Great video! Keep up the wonderful work:)
I'd say nice welds. That's something I need to work on, tig. I've only tried it a couple times. Again Great content 👌!
Your so Funny loved the video. I actually have the Arccaptain Mig 200 version of your welder and it works great to. Keep inspiring!
Thanks Mark. That looks like a nice machine too. Im pretty impressed with the brand so far.
yeah Arccaptain has been really good to me so far, i literally have no experience welding and i've managed to put good beads down a couple times now. It has really helped me navigate the learning curve. I still have a ways to go though lol. Your beads looked great already, i have a sneaky suspicion you will be a pro in no time. @@SpicerDesignsLLC
Fun times
0:24 Fedex says you're hired!
Nice welds mate, would love to have a TIG welder AC/DC again :)
Looks good, good information👍
Well done video, like the way you explain things.
Thank you. I try to keep things flowing the best i can. I appreciate the comment
Well Lookie! Its 7am...time for a beer...
I love tig welding aluminum and stainless, I also love chicken nuggets!
Haha. Nuggets hit the spot for sure. I cant wait to start aluminum. I want to get better at mild steel first.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC just a heads up, A/C frequency can damage electronics that are on the bench. I shorted out a Milwaukee cordless grinder circuit board building an aluminum compartment.
@@alanschmeeckle3261 wow thats crazy. Thanks for the heads up
cpl tips. get a gas lens kit, (jody sells a nice set) truly makes a world of difference. keep your torch as close to vertical as possible, and keep as tight an arc length as possible without dipping. and when you see grey welds on steel plate that means you're too hot. looks fine otherwise.
Thanks for the pointers, much appreciated. Ive heard great things about the glass lens
Hey Kyle, thanks for showing us how a beginner can just pick up welding and go. Welding has been on my "I'd like list" for a while, might just jump into it next year! Also, people being all up in arms about you crushing equipment?? Really?? That is so out of character for you.... hahahaha! Cheers, Alex.
Hah! I like to keep people guessing. Take care buddy
Arc captain been sending these to a lot of creators lately, seem to
have good reviews.I used to buy all different tungsten,now I just use LaYZr 3/32 for everything,steel aluminum, stainless. My tip is practice,then practice some more then when your comfortable with it, keep practicing. get some weld coupons.
Thanks. Im pretty impressed with it so far. Looking forward to getting better at tig. Im going to cut some coupons on the plasma table and practice some different joints. Thanks for the advice!
So consistent 7am Saturdays. I was going to hit thumbs down when you tossed that heavy box 😂. Hope the spicer family has a wonderful holidays. Cheers bud!
Thanks buddy! You too
Not bad at all for a beginner. I always liked tig welding mild steel but aluminum was always a pain for me. Aluminum is all about the cleanliness of your material.
Great video!
Thank you! Thanks the pointer
You need to keep your filler rod in the gas envelope, when you pull it back out into the open air you are grabbing and introducing contaminants into the weld. Its all just practice. You should check out Jody's tig vids on weldingtipsandtricks, the man is an amazing teacher, easily one of the best on yt.
Awesome, i never thought about the filler rod in the gas pocket. I appreciate the tip and i will definitely check out that channel
Nice welder having a hard time pulling the plug buying another tig I bought a bottom line from jegs no foot petal and not possible to weld 18 gauge body panels
Tip: Your tungsten electrode doesn't look very sharp. The sharper it is the more focused will be your arc and the easier it will be to weld. There is always a tendency to keep pushing on as the tip gradually dulls. Careful with the dust when grinding the tungsten--it is toxic. A Tungsten Electrode Sharpener Grinder is inexpensive these days and if used with dust collection would be a good investment. It would also encourage you to keep the electrode sharp and would provide consistent pointing.
Thanks for the pointer. I was practicing today and i can use all the help i can get.
If you don’t have 240 volts…..your fawqd 😂. I actually got a couple of these machines, tig 200 works amazing, mainly been doing stick welding like a mofo with it(on 240 now now thanks to your add a 240 outlet video I seen a couple weeks ago) huge difference between 120 also, it really does work on 240, mines also got the flux capacitor right below the double floppy jiblets, not sure if it’s the same on your machine. 😂I actually bowd up last week going to northern tool like ima tig weld the hell out sumthing and their like yeaaaa those prices you see are for exchange or refill, if you actually need a new bottle of argon you gotta give us your keys to your vehicle and your social and a thousand dollars twice a week until it’s empty so I cruised home like welp, looks like ima rock those aluminum rods from harbour freight and some map gas 😂 seriously tho this company makes some killer machines, I talked my buddy into getting the flux core one, and I wanna get the plasma cutter one they offer next cause I’m tired of hearing my neighbor cry about noise from me cutting steel
🤣🤣🤣🤣 @ the nut buster creation there.
Few suggestions.
Anything Tig needs to be super clean. No mill scale, rust or anything like that only shiny bright material.
That grey oxidised-looking welds just mean there has been to much heat input. Its not usually too many amps either.
Its generally not enough amps and moving to slowly for beginners.
Other than that the only thing you can do to get better is get lots of practice.
Thanks for the pointers. Im going to keep practicing. I think tig welding will be a good option for some of my sign builds. Just have to get better
Crank the amps up on some more scrap and practice laying the welds down fast.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC
👌👍
We'll 2 minutes in and what a shifty start, not bothering with the rest
@@fuentes8503 good
Don't decide to put a bunker in your backyard, the Keystone Girl probably wont approve... and IF you do, you will need a bigger excavator!
All in all, I’d say you did a very good imitation of a pro tigger.
The junk on the sides is probably contamination. Make sure everything is very clean and have dedicated brushes for every metal type.
Thanks for the point. I appreciate it. I definitely need to practice but looking forward to getting better at it.
I'd rather watch you Kyle than most sitcoms. Your humor is much better. Not that I watch them. Love the ART work! Your shop build out is getting quite impressive. Some great things will be coming out of there.
Thanks Roy. Your logo is next in the line up. Hopefully have you a rendering after the holiday. Looking forward to doing the shop build out. Ive got some cool ideas for it.
Thank you Kyle. Excited about the Spicer Design touch. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas!
Have you tried using the trigger instead of the foot pedal already? Did you think there was a huge advantage to the pedal?
I used the trigger on that vevor tig welder. The foot pedal is pretty awesome. Allows you to be more free with your grip too. Trigger is only on and off where the pedal allows you to play with the amperage.
The trigger can only open or close the arc, while the foot pedal can control the change of current.
Did you order this straight off of there website ? Can I trust this
Ya you can trust it.its a legit site. If you use the discount code Spicerdesigns it will save you some money too.
1.21 gigawatts!
Practice makes perfect one thing is your machine is blowing your gas away from your weld. Gas lens will also help your welds from the gray color. Your welds should be silver or haystack color or even unicorn farts on your welds it's the kinda welds my wife likes... 😊
Hah! Thanks for the pointer
Wheels/casters on your welding table? Give me the skinny on them.......
I made a video about them and theres links in the description. The thumbnail says “upgrades”. Its on my plasma table but its the same casters.
@@SpicerDesignsLLC
Ha I did look for a video apparently not well enough.
Thanks!
Did you test to see if it puts out 200 amps while you are welding full out
@@reneguay1347 no i didnt. I wont be welding anything that hot in the shop. Im still pretty nee to tig also.
It appears that you may have been welding galvanized nuts. It is important that welders be aware that welding over galvanizing produces poisonous fumes.
@@richardspengel5360 im aware. Ive been welding for a long time. Just not tig. I ground all the galvanizing off.
7.386 speed?
Custom setting
Why is the foot pedal so small?
@@craigguinn5423 idk. Works fine
Bought the PRO PACKAGE missing the foot pedal and the 71 pc cup set. Had to contact them and they said out of stock may be about a month. THEY DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING WHEN THEY TOOK MY MONEY. piss poor way to run a company.
Ya thats not good. I dont blame you for being upset.
You were moving way too slow
