Thanks for the review. I just pulled the trigger on this machine, very excited to use it. I'd also love to see your tutorial on making a TIG pedal, didn't see it in your uploads. I'll be keeping a lookout for it. Again, thanks. This'll be my first TIG machine, been dabbling in MIG and yearning to branch out. Peace
Hi James, glad to hear you got one of these great Tigs! I’ve got all the parts in stock and my aluminum all bent up for the Tig pedal project. I’m finishing a big project of building a triple piston, gas powered air compressor and as soon as I get the final video edited I’ll be doing the Tig pedal video. I’ll probably do a short video on how to convert a SSC or Nova pedal to be used on the Yeswelder Tig for people who don’t want to do a pedal build but want a serious upgrade from the barely usable factory pedal. Let me know if you have any questions when you get your new Tig. Also, order an argon regulator because it doesn’t come with one. Peace to you as well 🙏😀Don
Thank you sir for doing such a great, very well, done video.
I've been considering this machine for a little while and wondering about it. It's very tastefully done without any bias. I now know which machine I'll be purchasing : )
Hi Dave! Thank you for your very kind comments! I really appreciate it and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 🙏👍Don
Nice machine man. Great video!
Thanks Blade! 😁👍
For a beginner is there anything else accessory wise needed to get started? Mostly looking to weld 3/16" & less Jet boat bottoms -Thanks for review!
Hi Jack, I would buy a gas lens kit for your torch. They sell them on the Yeswelder site and other places. This makes a huge difference in the diffusion of the argon when welding and will help you as you are learning to weld aluminum. This was the best advice I ever received for Tig welding aluminum. You should be able to get by with just 3/32 tungsten for 3/16” aluminum and under. The only other thing I would get when you have some extra money is a better pedal. The Nova or SSC pedal is a huge improvement over the Yeswelder factory pedal. The 5 or 7 pin pedal for the AHP 201XD will work for the Yeswelder 250 Tig. I know because I converted mine to work with my Yeswelder Tig and it made a huge improvement over the factory pedal. I have a diagram that I can send you to rewire the plug, if you ever decide to upgrade your pedal. I am also going to do a video soon about how to build your own upgraded Tig pedal. Hope this helps.👍😀Don
I definitely like to know where you got your fabrication table from I'd be interested in seeing about getting one???
Hi there! I found a workbench on Craigslist and modified it with an aluminum top and side plate. Here is my video of how I did it. ua-cam.com/video/OgIXGHfixm8/v-deo.html Thanks, Don😁👍
How thin sheet metal and aluminum can you weld and can you get a adapter plug for this?
What do you think about the 205 tig welder ? From yeswelder ?
Hi Derek, I think it is a great Tig if you are only wanting to weld steel because it has only DC output so it isn’t compatible with aluminum welding. For the money though, it is a great deal.😀👍
If you had to pick one this or your Ahp what would be your choice?
Hi Airkill, well I kept the AHP and have welded side by side for a while now and I made an adapter to use my Nova aftermarket pedal with the Yeswelder Tig and with the good pedal, I just weld better with the Yeswelder Tig. I do like the AHP very much, but one thing that annoyed me is it is listed as a 200 amp Tig and after a couple of months it would only go up to 194 amps and still is that way today after having it for 2 years now. The other weird thing is that the Yeswelder seems more powerful at the same amperage settings. It takes less amps with the Yeswelder Tig for the same thickness than it would for the AHP. So, overall I would go with the Yeswelder Tig because it has at least 50 amps more power and I weld smoother and cleaner beads with it, especially with aluminum. With the Yeswelder, I would plan to buy a Nova or SSC pedal because the one that comes with it is not easy to use at all. The AHP now comes from the factory with a Nova pedal. Hope this helps! 👍😀Don
what type of connections it uses dinse or tweco and what size if dinse 24 or 35? thank you
Hi there, the ground connection is Dinse 35 and the main connection for the Tig torch is the gas compression fitting. It connects the gas and the positive lead.😀👍
Would there be any issues running one of these off a 7500w generator?
No issue at all. I run mine off a Honda 5500 all the time doing mobile aluminum repair and I’ve never had any issue at all. If I’m welding at 250 amps, every once in a while I’ll pop the breaker, but with yours being 7500, it should work perfectly.😊👍
Anyone curious on the quality of these machines I've done some significant research and ran across some relatively unknown information, these are the real deal. Their quality is very very good. There made in a large well run clean factory and all they make is this product line.
Thank you so much for your comment sir! I’ve been trying to inform people of this for a year now! They are a first class company that truly cares about their product quality. 6 of my friends have purchased these welders and they all have had the same experience as me. Great welders at an amazing price because they sell direct to the public. Thank you! 🙏😀Don
@@PranaTech you are welcome for the comment. I just got the mig 205 with lift tig. Nice quality for sure. The tig gun seems more quality then my miller magic. Eventually I'll probably own most of their models. I bought wire yesterday, their order line was out of wire.
Yeah, the word is starting to spread rapidly. They are regularly sold out now of many of their welders. It doesn’t take long for people to recognize a great deal. I originally purchased the 205 mig because I needed a cheap welder to finish a project I was working on. For $315 I figured if it lasted a year I would be happy. It has turned out to be the best mig I’ve ever owned! 🤣
Ok so after some questions that you answered or me I pulled the trigger and bought the 250 today, the Yes pedal and a good argon gauge. Do you have a suggestion on brand of tungsten and should I get a nozzle kit with different cups etc?? Also I caught your video on tanks. I bought a dozen “e” tanks ( 5” x 26” ) can I use these for remote jobs and have any idea what they’re worth??
Cheers
Don
Hi Don! Wow, you weren’t messing around! 🤣 Ok, the best all around tungsten that I’ve used is 2% lanthanated. It is the ones with blue at the top. Works great for everything. 3/32” will weld just about everything up to 1/4” aluminum and steel. Above that you will need 1/8” tungsten. 3/32 will get you started though. Doesn’t seem to matter what brand, just that it is 2% lanthanated. Get a stubby gas lens kit and install it before you weld with the junk cups and diffuser that the welders come with. As far as the tanks go, I would ask your local welding supply if you can trade up to a k size tank with a few of your smaller tanks. Here in Tucson they will all do it. I don’t know what an E tank size is, it sounds like an oxygen tank designator. If so, just find a shop that will let you trade up to a larger size welding tank.😁👍
@@PranaTech Thanks again for the help. Is the YES stubby kit worthwhile or am I better off to go with like CK worlwide?
Hi Don! The Yes kit is great! I have a high quality set and the Yeswelder set and it is of a comparable quality. 😊👍
Did you replace the headgear on the yes welder helmet with the Miller headgear ? If so were any mods needed
Hi Christian, yes I did replace it. I have a smaller head and the smallest setting was always too loose. I tried padding but gave up and bought a Miller headgear and it pretty much bolted right up. It was a 3.5 generation set. Here is a link to the one I bought. www.ebay.com/itm/Miller-284218-Generation-3-5-Welding-Helmet-Headgear-for-Miller-Helmets/353038505282?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649. 👍😀
@@PranaTech ok awesome ! I love the Miller headgear after trying a friends I’ll have to pick one up for my yeswelder helmet
Yes, I really love this helmet especially now with all the adjustments the Miller headgear affords! 😎
Don, nice review. I've been looking at the YesWelder 250P Tig and the AHP 225Xi and both look like they are great machines. I haven't found a straight up comparison between the two. Could you give comment on these two or possibly make a video comparing the YesWeldwe 250P and your AHP 201XD? Thanks
Your foot pedal build was sweat too. I'd like one of those, I may have to try and build one.
Zluca05, sorry for the delay in my response. UA-cam didn’t show any comments for 2 days and they all showed up today. Anyway, I think they are both great machines and very capable at all types of Tig welding. I purchased the AHP because I wanted to learn how to weld aluminum. It was great to learn on and simple to set up. I have been Tig welding for 37 years but it has all been on steel. Aluminum was a whole new world and much more difficult to weld than I thought. After about 6 months practicing with the AHP I felt confident enough to start building some projects with it and it soon became apparent that even though it is rated at 200 amps, it struggled with welding 1/4” plate. Especially filet welds on inside corners. Outside corners it worked beautifully. 3/16” and smaller, it welds amazing! Great quality welder! The Yeswelder 250 came along and was just the power boost I needed. It welds 1/4” aluminum without any problem and I’ve even welded 5/16” and 3/8” a few times with great results. One of the interesting things that I noticed is that the Yeswelder set at 200 amps would weld hotter than the AHP at 200 amps. It could do inside corner filet welds on 1/4” with no problem at all. Which I found strange because the Yeswelder is about half the size of the AHP. The Yeswelder also has a 60% duty cycle at 250 amps and 100% duty cycle at 180 amps. In the end I just didn’t have the room for both welders and I ended up selling the AHP. Both are great welders so I don’t think you could go wrong with either one. 😁👍
@@PranaTech Don, thank you for taking the time with your detailed explanation. So I’ll just have to decide which one to go for. These are both similar in price but still no chump change if you know what I mean. Thanks again
Are pedals from Nova or SCC available for this welder?
Hi Mark, no, they don’t support this welder yet but I have a wiring diagram that shows you how to convert the pedal for the AHP 201XD. It is not difficult and is merely soldering a 5 pin plug onto the SSC or Nova pedal cord. Here is a link if you want to see the diagram. drive.google.com/file/d/1ensmrBx3Y1fsxU2AME1HBv9_G13EQOZ0/view?usp=drivesdk I have been running a Nova pedal with this welder for months and it works awesome and it is a great improvement. If you have any questions about this feel free to ask me anytime.👍😁
What size breaker should i uss. The book does not say
Hi Luther! The back of the welder says max 40A but I’m running a 30amp breaker and it has never tripped and I have welded at max 250 amps many times. Realistically, I don’t think it pulls more than 25 amps ever on tig mode.👍😊
How much does it cost
Thanks for the review. Can you use a Nova Pedal or other 3rd party pedal, with this machine? Is the plug/pinout the same?
Hi James, you can use a Nova or SSC pedal for the AHP 201XD Tig. You will need to install a new plug to fit to the Yeswelder Tig. You will need a GX16 5 pin male plug to fit the Yeswelder Tig. I am in the process of filming a video on how to upgrade this Tig with a Nova pedal and a CK Worlwide torch. I have a diagram on how to wire the plug if you would like it. You will need to do a little soldering to the new plug but that is really all it takes to do the conversion. The plug you can buy on Amazon for just a few dollars. Let me know if want the Diagram. 😁👍
@@PranaTech that would be great. Thanks. Also, any desire to take the lid off the welder to show us the internals and build quality?
Hi James, I haven’t pulled the cover on the Tig, but when I got the Yeswelder Mig last year off Amazon I pulled the cover and I was very impressed! It had very high quality components. Big heavy duty Japanese made capacitors and overall nice workmanship. I’m sure the 250 pro Tig is of the same build quality. One of my subscribers did a bunch of research on Yeswelder and their company and factory and he told me they are the real deal. He said they don’t just repackage somebody else’s welder and sell it. They control all aspects of the manufacturing in house and then sell direct to the public. That’s how they keep the prices down and make a quality welder as well. Here is a link to my diagram for the Nova pedal conversion. 😀👍 drive.google.com/file/d/1ensmrBx3Y1fsxU2AME1HBv9_G13EQOZ0/view?usp=drivesdk
@@PranaTech I am even more keen to buy now. What do you think of the tig torch? Like or going to change to a non euro style? Do you have a torch with a valve and keen to try lift start tig in stick mode, rather than HF start? They said its possible to do with valved torch.
Are you going to show any mild steel or Stainless vids?
Thanks so much again
Hi James, I’ve never tried to lift Tig with a high frequency machine before. I converted my arc welder years ago to a lift Tig and it worked fine for me but not having any amperage control is no fun at all. Going to lift Tig on a machine that has a pedal and high frequency start is like converting your modern car to a Model T Ford. 😁 The torch that comes with the Yeswelder 250 works fine. It is very heavy duty and I’ve been welding with it since last summer and it has performed fine. I’m just used to a slimmer and not so clunky torch and that is why I’ve decided to upgrade. 😎
Hey brotha, what other TiG torches can I fit on this welder and/or what is the thread size of the collet if I want to switch to an mfurick cup? Thanks for the video!🙏
Good morning! Ok, any tig torch that has a 5/8-18 thread fitting on the end will work with this welder, but you will need to take a couple minutes to make an adapter because the welder has a male thread and so do American tig torches. Here is the adapter that you will need to adapt an aftermarket torch. www.ebay.com/itm/184841679271?hash=item2b096c31a7:g:ivQAAOSwtjdgoZ82 You will need to cut the adapter in half because it comes too long. If you cut it in half at the 1.125” length, it will work as the double female to adapt the aftermarket tig torch. The torch that I bought is a CK Worldwide model TL2112HSF FX. It is a 200amp torch with a flex head and a red superflex hose. Here is a link to the torch I bought. weldfabulous.com/ck-ck2112hsf-fx-torch-pkg-200a-gas-fx-w-12-1-2-1-piece-superflex/ If you just want to run a Furick cup on your yeswelder tig, just buy a stubby gas lens kit for a size 17 torch and it will fit right onto the yeswelder torch. The Furick cups will then screw right on to the stubby gas lens. I am currently running a Furick cup myself and it is an amazing upgrade! Let me know if you have any other questions. I am currently making a video on how to convert the Yeswelder to a water cooled torch setup and the adapter will be shown in that video coming up soon. Let me know if you have any other questions.😊👍
@@PranaTech ok. Thank you for the great info! Just a couple more questions. Do I have to make any modifications to the aftermarket Yeswelder TiG torch? And does the foot pedal really control the amperage on this machine? I’m really in between this and the Weldpro model.
Hi there, The foot pedal they are selling now is a great one! The one mine came with was junk! It does control amperage very well and smoothly. The tig torch that comes with the Yeswelder is pretty decent. You will be able to weld anything you want to with it. No modifications are needed to this torch to run a Furick cup. You just buy any size 17 stubby gas lens kit for 3/32 tungsten and the Furick cup will screw right onto it. It will be the same with the Weldpro if you go that route. I think Weldpro builds a great welder as well. The Weldpro is dual voltage and the Yeswelder is 220v only. The Yeswelder does have 50 more amps though. If you are going to be welding a lot of aluminum, especially 1/4”, I would go with the Yeswelder. If you can live with 200amps for most of the welding you do, the Weldpro would be a great choice. 😊👍
@@PranaTech awesome man! Thank you so much for the info. Just order the Yeswelder😂 I’ll be back and let you know what I think. Thank you brotha! Have a good one!
No problem at all. Let me know if you have any other questions or need any settings to get started. 👍
Hi, how can I get the discount to get the price you said to one of the guy who ask the price
Hi Jose, when you go to checkout, put the word PRANATECH in the discount box and it will discount the welder.😁👍
What is the Supply voltage and current rating requirement for the TIG welder. I’m assuming it is 220 volt only and not dual voltage. What Input Circuit rating is suggested?
Hi Bill, the input is 220volts and the circuit requirements are 30 amps. 😀👍
Hello Prana-Tech! Following on the above, my new TIG250P says 40A max input on the back of the welding machine, but 30A input in the manual as you've stated above. Do you know why this is?
Hi Brevin! Well that’s weird! I just went out and checked mine and sure enough, it says 40A max on the back. Well, I’ve welded at the max 250 amps and I only have a 30 amp circuit in my garage and I’ve never popped the breaker. I’ve had quite a few 250 amp welders and I have never needed higher than 30amps to run one. Hope this helps! 👍😀Don
@@PranaTech Thank you for the quick reply! I appreciate it! 😃
No problem at all Brevin! Let me know if you have any other questions. 👍😀Don
Hi, just wondering if you have had any issues with this welder as of now (FEB 2024).
Mine tends to have issues with an error code E3 that isn't mentioned in the manual. Of course I contacted the company and, although having a good attitude, did not really resolve the problem (of course my power source etc has been thoroughly examined and verified). Bottom line, I wonder if there is an upgrade/update available, like a new circuit board or whatever, as I see the machine is no longer offered. I've respectfully contacted the company and have not heard back. They have a "200P ACDC" now - replacement? THANKS for the excellent video!
I haven’t had any issues with mine at all. I use it now for mobile Tig welding and regularly run it off my Honda generator with big extension cords and I’ve never thrown an error code. It has shut down a couple times from me welding too long at 250 amps, but after it cools down it still keeps going. I was kinda surprised that they discontinued it because it is pretty rare to find a 250 amp ac/dc Tig that is this portable and at an affordable price. I keep hoping that they will come out with an updated model, but haven’t heard anything from them in a long time.
@@PranaTechThanks, that is a relief. I'll open the unit and see (without surgery) if there is simply a visible lose wire or cracked solder joint. I am not certain about the discontinuation of the 250P -- it just does not seem to appear on their website, while that new(?) 200P is present. Your videos are great!
What amp power does it need I have 220 v 30A service?
Yes, 30A is what I’m using 😁👍
Does anybody know how to replace the tig rig
I'd like to see you take the case off and show us what's inside the box
Hi Paul, well that’s probably not going to happen. I’m way to busy welding up beautiful aluminum welds with it here lately to spend time taking my welder apart.😁👍
what are the settings for tig aluminum welding on the yes 250 amp welder?
Hi Pickleman, I use the Miller welding app on my phone to determine my general settings for Tig with this machine. It is not that critical with Tig because of the variable amperage with the foot pedal. As long as you set the amps a little higher than you need for the thickness of aluminum you will be fine because you just press down more when you need more power. 1/16”aluminum I set at about 85 amps, 1/8” is 140 amps and ¼” is 180 amps. This should get you started. Remember to hold the pedal down for a few seconds until the light on the panel comes on so the welder knows you are using the foot pedal, otherwise you will get the full amperage at startup. Hope this helps👍😀
Can this machine work with 110v? What plug does it come with?
Sorry, no it will only run on 220 volts.👍
Plug is standard 30amp 3 prong 220 volt that you would use for a clothes dryer.
still waiting on the setup for DC ? Great job on the AC
Sorry Lucky, I’ve been so busy with all my projects that I just haven’t had time.
Does Yes welder have a great customer service like primeweld?
Hi there, I have had great customer service from them, although I’ve never had any problems with any of their products. I don’t own any of Primewelds equipment so I can’t make a comparison between the two. I’ve heard good things about Primeweld, AHP, Yeswelder, and Everlast. I own Yeswelder and AHP welders but any of these four companies have great reputations for quality welders. 😀👍
@@PranaTech Thanks for the response.
This machine comes with power cord?
Can someone use the 220v to110v converter for light works on houses that doesn't have 220v like other machines?
Hi there, no this welder is only 220 volt compatible.
This or an esab rebel which is way more but I have the money which should I get
Also how does this do with 6010 1/8 inch electrodes
Hi James, this is a great welder but it does have a couple of things that need upgrading. The Tig torch that it comes with is kinda bulky and clunky. I purchased a CK Worldwide flex head torch to use with this Yeswelder Tig and it is a great improvement. Also, the pedal that comes with this Tig is pretty crude. I upgraded to a Nova pedal and this really improved the usability of this welder. So the cost of both of these upgrades together cost me about $285 on top of the welder. Once I did these upgrades, it is the nicest Tig I’ve ever used. It welds amazing, especially when I am welding aluminum. So all total with the upgrades, this welder is just under $1000 with my discount code. I don’t know which Esab Tig you are looking at, but I do know they build a great product. If you want a great welder that is ready to go right out of the box, then the Esab may be a better choice if you have the money to spend. I haven’t used this welder as a stick welder yet so I can’t comment on how it will work with 6010 rod. Thanks 😀👍Don
What do you think of the yeswelder 200 amp stick welder.
I don’t have one of those welders but everything I’ve gotten from Yeswelder has been great quality. The inverter technology they are using is very advanced and puts out more power per amperage than my AHP welder and it is an inverter welder as well. Hope this helps👍😀Don
Does it have crater fill on it
Hi JB, most of the time you just taper off the current with the foot pedal to get a consistent crater fill at the end of the weld. Many guys are taught to set their downslope longer to reduce the crater at the end of the weld automatically. This welder does have upslope and downslope settings so you could set it up to deal with crater fill if you wanted to with the downslope settings. I have never seen a Tig welder with a specific setting for crater fill, but I’ve only owned 4 machines in my time. 👍😀Don
I like that
Thanks Jason! 👍😀
How much does the average TIG welder cost price range average
Hi Jim, for a quality Chinese built ac/dc Tig capable of welding aluminum, they range from about $700 to $1500 depending on the brand and amperage. For a US made Tig with the same features you would have to pay a few thousand dollars.🙀
@@PranaTech gun Smith from 6br to 6pppppc
Does it have a foot pedal?
Hi Gary, you can order it with or without. They have a decent low profile pedal now in the accessories section of the site. I would order the welder without a pedal and then order the upgraded one in the accessories section. Mine came with a cheap pedal that I couldn’t hardly use. I upgraded to a nova pedal for an AHP and adapted it to fit the Yeswelder Tig. 😊👍
What's the duty cycle
Hi Mark, the duty cycle for tig is 60% at 250 amps and 100% at 183 amps. Compare that to any big name welder out there and you will see that it blows them away. It is also not over rated because I weld at max amps all the time when I’m welding thick aluminum and I’ve never had the welder shut down from thermal overload. I’ve been pretty amazed with their welders! 😁👍
What is the duty cycles at 250amps
Good morning Harold! This welder has a 60% duty cycle at 250 amps. 👍😀
@@PranaTech what amps at 100%. Thanks my Miller diversion 180 is 10% not too happy with the performance of it
Hi Harold, the 100% duty cycle is an impressive 183 amps! I haven’t tested my Tig yet to see if it’s true, but I have tested their mig that I have and it never has shutdown on long welding joints that used to do it with my miller 210. Kinda blows my mind!🤯 whatever technology they are using with these inverter systems, I’m impressed!
@@PranaTech nice thanks
I love your videos, have you come up with a a better foot pedal
Hi Don, yes, there are many options now for this welder. Yeswelder started making a decent pedal about 8 months after I got the welder. It’s pretty darn good I must say. Unfortunately I spent a bunch of time converting a Nova pedal to work with the Yeswelder tig and then I went and designed my own pedal and built the ultimate one from scratch that I did a video on. Here is a link to my pedal build.ua-cam.com/video/f2ta08h3q5E/v-deo.html Also after that SSC started making aftermarket pedals to fit the Yeswelder Tig. Theirs are supreme quality and work great but are a little pricey. Here is a link to theirs.ssccontrols.com/product/c960-0525-tig-welding-foot-control-yes-welders-tig-250p/ So there are plenty of options out there for you to upgrade to. The Yeswelder one is the most affordable of the bunch though.😊👍
Thank you for your quick response I’ll look into those options. Are there any other mods that you have done to make it your perfect welder? Million dollar question…. To do over again with this still be your choice or would you be looking at another model? Thank you
Hi Don! Yes, the other mod that I did to make this the perfect welder was to convert it to water cooled so I could make longer aluminum welds without overheating the torch. I built a big Tig water cooler as a project and I will be putting up a video soon of that build and a video on how to do the conversion on the Yeswelder Tig. If I had to do it over again I would still buy the Yeswelder Tig again because it has performed flawlessly for me and I weld a lot! If there were any quality issues they would have shown up by now for sure. The other reason is that there isn’t any other 250 amp AC/DC Tig welders on the market that can compete with the Yeswelder 250P. There are many cheap Tig welders on the market now in the 200 amp range but most 250amp ac/dc Tig welders are over $1800 and up. That extra 50 amps of power is a big deal when welding aluminum. Hope this helps! 😊👍Don
Which model Nova foot control are you using?
Hi Chris, I’m using the Nova pedal for my AHP 201xd. Both welders use the same resistance potentiometer value of 10k ohm and the wiring is the same except the AHP uses a 7 pin plug and the Yeswelder uses a 5 pin plug. I made an adapter that fits the 7 pin on one side and 5 pin on the other so that I could use the pedal on either welder when I need to. If you purchase a Nova pedal let me know and I’ll send you the wiring schematic for the Yeswelder Tig because the one in the manual is wrong. If you just want to use the Nova pedal on the Yeswelder Tig you could just buy a 5 pin gx16 plug like this and replace the 7 pin plug on the nova pedal. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DC7PHM3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 5 minutes of soldering and you are in business! Hope this helps!😀👍
Yes would need the wiring for 5 pin soldering
Hi Chris, ok, I’ll draw up a diagram and instructions showing which wires will go where. Both welders use five wires so it is pretty simple once you know what wire matches up with each pin. Send me an email at pranateq@gmail.com and I will send you the diagram when I get it drawn up.😀👍
@@PranaTech CAN YOU SEND ME THE WIRING SCHEMATIC FOR THE PEDAL TO WORK?
I CAN NOT MAKE THE PEDAL THAT IS SOLD WITH THE WELDER TO WORK EXCEPT FOR ON/OFF ONLY......
Hi Lon, for the pedal to work you need to hold it down for about 5 seconds holding the torch in the air without starting an arc. This notifies the computer that there is a pedal attached and the indicator light on the panel will light up on the lower right of the control panel. It is the upper light of the three indicator lights there on the lower left of the panel. If you don’t do this it will just give you the maximum amperage set on the control panel as soon as you start the weld. Hope this helps! Let me know if this doesn’t work and I’ll send you a link to my diagram. 😊👍
How much would one of these cost?
Hi Gabe, they are $749 but with the discount they are like $675 😁👍
I have worked with welders doing stainless steel, inconel, aluminum & other alloys, but, That's one of the noisiest tig welding on aluminum I've heard & seen. Tig is very easy to use..
Aa!p
Just bought it through your link
Nice! I spent about 2 hours welding aluminum today with mine and a friend of mine came over and did some aluminum welding on a cracked intake manifold. He couldn’t believe how nice it welds! I love this welder! Let me know if you have any questions when you get it.😀👍
Could you do a video about tungsten and what type is used for each application? Also size and if the grinder is worth the money?
Good Morning! Well, it would be a short video because I use 2% Lanthanated tungsten for everything. I do separate my tungsten from steel to aluminum so I don’t contaminate either. I use 3/32” for every thickness up to ⅛” and anything above that I switch to ⅛” tungsten. I use a belt sander with a zirconium belt for grinding my tungsten. If you don’t have one, the tungsten grinder might be a good option. Let me know if you have any other questions .😀👍Don
Prana-Tech hello does this welder comes with everything you need to start welding. If not what do I have to buy to complete
Hi there Cajun! It comes with everything except an argon regulator and you will need some tungsten electrodes as well. I would recommend getting some 2% Lanthanated tungsten in 3/32 size because it is the best all around size. 😁👍
How much u paying
Hi Omar, these are $749 but with my discount code you can get it for $675 😀👍
My 250 has a hard time with stick welding you only weld for 1.5 sec and stop
Hi Vincent, what amps are you welding at and what electrodes are you using?
Prana-Tech 125-130 amp 1/8 6011
Hi Vincent, well there’s the problem. Many newer inverter welding machines are not compatible with 6011. It is a high voltage /low amperage stick. Most inverter welders do not put out high enough volts to weld with 6011. If you switch to 6013 or 7018, your troubles will all go away. My choice of these two would be 7018 for the easiest to weld with.😁👍

Why are you attempting to weld anything that is laying flat on a huge heat sink?
Hi there. Well because it is my welding bench and it helps to keep the heat from running out ahead of the welds with aluminum. The difference is not that much in terms of amps needed to weld. I do have to turn the amps up a little when welding flat on the bench, but is certainly something that I’m used to and is not detrimental to to any of my welding. Thanks for your question! 😀👍
Well I don't think welding in wood is a good idea. LOL
Ha! My bench is aluminum!🤣
Ok so they got someone who understands English 👍🏼😔
Yes👍😁
Don't like the torch that comes with...
✌️c
no phone number???? thats only way l buy.
Hi Pushyhog! Well, everyone has to decide what they are comfortable with as far as customer service. Yeswelder makes a great product and one of the ways they are able to do it at an incredible savings to the end user is by directly selling to the public and keeping a lean operation on the phone service side. Most people have no idea just how much that costs. Try and find another 250 amp AC/DC Tig with decent build quality and these advanced features that has a comparable price. There aren’t any! There is a reason for this. I wish you well on your search. 🙏😀Don
New product $750 ? To be tested ? How long will last? What warranty have? Parts? To introduce a new product $300 be reasonable 750 to much of risk and look like made in China no brand YES WELDER?
Hi Milton, this welder has a 3 year warranty and they have a lot of great products that have thousands of satisfied customers and great reviews. I understand some people are afraid to try something new with products that are new to the market. Everlast welders are the next level up from Yeswelder and the comparable 250amp pulse Tig that they sell is $1569.00. To imagine a company being able to produce an aluminum capable 250 amp Tig for $300 is really a fantasy in this day and age if you want any quality at all in the end product. Thank you for your questions and I hope you find the right welder for your needs. 😁👍Don
HOW ABOUT SHOWING ON VIDEO HOW TO ADJUST THE YESWELDER 250 AC/DC,ALL OF THE ADJUSTMENTS INCLUDING DC.
Hi Craig, I pretty much showed how to adjust all of the settings except for pulse. I’m still figuring out what works best for me on aluminum and then I’ll work on steel pulse settings(DC) after that. After I get it all figured out I’ll do a video.👍😀
Can I see it gasless
Hi Javier, I’m sorry I don’t use the flux core method so I can’t show you.😐
Thanks for sharing! If you have a second, we recorded a cover of Van Halen. As fellow music fans, we'd love if you'd check it out. It's on our channel. Don't go too hard on us :)
Oh wow you welded a 4" piece of .065 Material, grab a piece of C channel 6 1/4" 20"long LMK HOW THAT GOES
Hi Howard, well, since last summer when I got this welder I’ve welded a bunch of aluminum projects and it welds amazing! Check out my latest project. I built my own custom Tig pedal for this welder and then hand engraved it. The Tig welding is at 18:15 if you just want to see some longer runs of welding. m.ua-cam.com/video/f2ta08h3q5E/v-deo.html Enjoy!😀👍
