I have this unit and run a few pounds of wire through it. Whatever amps you set it for, use the feature that allows you to add volts over the auto suggestion. Otherwise, in order to get penetration, you wind up with too much wire feed. Adding .1 to 1 volt gets you to the right amount of heat without having the wire speed too fast to control.
Great vid! Starting to get into TIG and wanted a multi process to get some practice at home . Haven’t heard anything bad about these. Going to pull the trigger then after upgrade to an everlast🤟🏽 new sub
you got to buy straight argon for tig you cant use mig gas for tig also you can only weld steel with it I have that welder just thought id let you know.
Just to let you know, you won't be able to do aluminum on this machine even in TIG mode. It is only a DC welder and aluminum can really only be welded on AC. Theoretically you could weld it but you won't be able to see your puddle at all as it will be underneath the oxide layer on the aluminum. Good video though, cheers!
@@lebroncan2018 Yes, technically you can weld aluminum on DC, but like I said in my original comment, it's just very difficult to see your puddle because of the oxide layer. If you're talking about DC TIG on steel, then yes absolutely it can be done. DC would be what you would always use on steel.
Good news! The thing that provides the cleaning action isn't Alternating Current as such, it's the part of the cycle where the electrode is positive, right? In TIG you would have 100 % cleaning action and your electrode would get hot! You CAN TIG weld this way, it's in the charts, you need a big electrode and maybe a water-cooled gun. Anyway, the same thing happens with MIG welding, the electrode gets hot and disintegrates and ends up in the puddle for the most part. All those "spool guns" people use to weld aluminum are all running on DC!

Good job young man 👍
what size breaker on the 220 outlet do you need? manual isn't very clear I see 220V @ 30 and 50?
Tip you can rent tanks per year at most welding supplies store!
How thin metal can this machine weld?
Are you going to do any video reviews on the YESWELDER ARC PRO 165DS 110-220V and the Arc205. I hear the amp ratings are not true as advertised.
I can look into that for you and see if that's possible! I'd like to get the 5 in one they are creating. It's called the firstess mp200, check it out!
I saw that advertisement on the mp200 buts its limited . I guess its a next year model.

That's a lie I'm in welding school right now we only weld DC I'm doing Tig welding now

Yes welder has an ac dc welder
Who makes this cart?
Harbor freight
Harbor freight
mig = metal inert gas not mixed inert gas.
Officially the other is "Metal Active Gas" or MAG. People don't say that much but you see it in writing a lot. Maybe ON the spool of wire!
Just replace the ground and it should be fine.
For sure!
U want to sell
Weld but dont weld machine 250
just buy some cheap stick welder
