I took the leap due to your video. First time using flux core. I am impressed. It performs like a stick welder except with .035" wire. I was welding heavily rusted / pitted exhaust header pipes. I was set 1 mark above minimum on voltage and 29 amps. Worked extremely well for the poor quality material I was welding. I also welded .120" tubing which went effortless. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for watching! Rusted, pitted headers are a real challenge, that's for sure. I've used mine a bunch since that video, both inside and outside, with stick and flux core wire and I've yet to be sorry I bought it.
I have small experience in welding and I was looking to buy this welder, after seeing your testing and review this will be my new starter welder now to get better at the skill! Thank you !
Your a halfway decent welder for an old Fart lol just kidding, I'm almost 70 been welding 60 years or so love watching welding videos, love it your a simple man with a lot of common sense! . Watched this (professional) welder he called himself . his big opinion was if you're not using gas don't bother, stick option don't even try, my stick welding is just as pretty as any mig welding & stronger & I can weld outside in windy conditions. Great video old timer keep it coming!!! I bought the Vevor 270 for my service truck power it with a Wen 11k Watt generator weld half inch steel no problem. Thanks Trader Jack
I was once a pretty good welder. I worked for shipyards, built parts for pipelines and even welded pressure vessels for a nuclear power plant. Or maybe I was just good at passing stick welding tests. But that was all a long time ago and like anything else, when you don't practice regularly your skills, or in this case my skills, erode. I probably won't have much welding content for the next few months as I wait for the summer heat to end, welding in 110+ degree heat isn't my favorite thing to do. But I've got plans for fall and winter! Thanks for watching and commenting!
I just ordered one today I’ve always wanted a welder but even harbor freight models were just one mode or two mode’s and they are quite expensive. I learned to weld on Lincoln Electric welders in Welding School and I graduated back in 2012 unfortunately I haven’t welded much since then. But I wanted a small unit with more options at 110 volts. I always do research before buying anything. I’m so happy I’ve watched a couple of your videos. Thanks so all your help and experience.
I don't think you'll regret it. I'm still using mine and it's my favorite flux core welder. I've probably got 10 spools of wire through it and still think it's a heck of a bargain for the price. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I'm on here searching reviews for this exact machine and to be honest you opening this box and it coming with everything really has me wanting more vevor stuff. Definitely ordering this thing. Got lotssss of buddies welding so they'll see this sucker in action and want one too.
The video done exactly what I was hoping. I just went ahead and ordered 1. The 200. After I seen all I needed to see I couldn't quit watching just because he was so dam happy...
Great video! I had three years of metal-shop classes in high school (back when they still did shop... dang I'm old), did quite a bit of oxyacetylene and stick welding. Now I mess around with forge work as a hobby. I've needed (well, wanted, but y'know) a welder for a while. My wonderful wife got me this one for Christmas and I can't wait to play around with it! Thanks for explaining it so well and going over the capabilities and limitations. Now I just gotta find an excuse to weld... oh wait, I don't need an excuse, I can just break something I need to fix!
You need to take off the gas nozzle and wire weld without it, or get one of the plastic nozzles designed for flux core welders. That way you can see where you are welding. Great video!
Chuck, Thanks for the review. I’ve been looking for a welder for some jobs around the house. Looking to weld thin sheet metal for auto body repair. This is pretty interesting being that it supports so many different modes. I’ve looked at the Harbor Freight Titanium 125 Flux welder. Price is $210 or 190 with a coupon sale. Walmart bumped the price up on this one to $135 now. I’ve had issues buying things through Walmarts secondary Chinese suppliers and have gotten the wrong items sent (on purpose) and had to deal with the return headaches so I’m on the fence. I’ve only done gas and arc welding in the past but think MIG would work better for this application and others I might need in the future.
While flux core wire probably isn't the best option for sheet metal, with practice it will do it and the options all involve buying an expensive gas bottle. And for me having the ability to weld with 6011 or 6013 stick and TIG means a lot. If you can gas weld you can TIG, it's a very similar process. And if you can stick weld, flux core welding will be a walk in the park. You'll spend more time figuring out how to get the machine set than you will learning the process. And I hear you buying from China, while I think they've gotten a lot better lately, it's still a bit of a crapshoot. And you can buy this from Amazon (admittedly for more money) or directly from Vevor.
@@patrickugorcak I'm not sure what you'd need that isn't an easy to source consumable. Tips, nozzles and all that are just standard parts that fit a dozen different welders and easy to get from ebay or directly from Aliexpress. The plasma cutter is the same, it's all just off the shelf parts.
Hey Chuck, thank you for making the video on this welder. You are the only real review on this unit. I myself also just recently bought the same unit. Maybe you know what's going on here. I set up the Mig part of the welder. I used the wire that came with it and fed it through the hose by hand and it should be all ready to go. So I pull the trigger on the handle and the wire does not feed. I've switched the Mode to Mig 1.0mm and on the display I have a green light for Power, a red light for D.C. and a green light for Syn Mig. Anyways my wire won't feed yet alone weld. What could it be?
Are you sure the feed motor isn't running when you squeeze the trigger? When I got mine I thought it wasn't running because it's so darn quiet it can't be heard over the fan. So first, confirm that the motor isn't really running when the trigger is pulled. Crank the amps up to max and watch the motor spindle itself when you squeeze the trigger. If it really isn't running then you're going to have to do some troubleshooting. I'd probably start with the trigger as it's pretty easy to get to. Good luck!
@@3rdpig well i figured out what the problem was. I had to open the cover to find it. One of the wires that feeds the motor that feeds the wire was popped out of the connecter. i pushed the wire back in and was confident that was the problem and put it all back together and sure enough it fixed it. Well thanks for responding Chuck. I was also wondering if you have tried the stick or the tig yet and if so how well fid it work for you? Welp its 2am where I'm at so time for bed. Good night.
Who's them? Vevor? You'll probably see some debate over which polarity to use for flux core wire. I prefer reverse polarity, or ground clamp in the positive connection. Flux core will run either way, but it runs better and with less spatter if you run ground positive. I'll put a link to a video below that shows the difference. If I had it backwards in the video I apologize, at one point I was using the machine to run stick rod that I use straight polarity for and I may have neglected to switch it back. ua-cam.com/video/1cs8R703MQ0/v-deo.html
I've been mulling this over since I read it. In the near future I might make a short video on setting the machine for several thickness of metal. Thanks for the idea!
Great Video and I appreciate you doing this. I am in the middle of a sudo restoration on an old chevy truck. Because of funds, a couple of years ago I sprang for the Harbor Freight 90 amp Flux Core welder. Trying to weld replacement body panels on with this flux core welder has not been easy. I admit that I have not welded in a long time but in my earlier days I was quite proficient at true MIG welding. This Flux welding, is in my opinion so far, not even comparable. Have you attempted to weld any thin gauge metal similar body panels with this welder? If you have how did that go. Like I said, maybe I have lost everything I had learned back then but I think the HF is wrong with it's polarity for one and I get quite frustrated with it. Thanks again for the video.
Just got the other day for 117 on ebay. I taken 80 hours welding at adult Ed and missed playing with welding. I watch guy said use gas on gun wire welding
I have the old Lincoln Buzz box 220 and I don't know if it's that I am so used to the Lincoln or if this machine is is faulty. I used this video as a guide while opening my vevor and I mean to the T. The only way I could get it to weld with stick is to switch the polarity and max it out.Otherwise even with 32nds stick The only way I could weld was to get about be right on it.I would barely get a spark to set my mask off when I set it down to 80. The Mig wasn't as bad but there was still very low power. I looked over everything and took it apart and put it back together and found nothing out of the ordinary. What do you think? Send it back?
It does sound like there's something wrong with it. And it sounds like you've checked all the connections and ground. I'd probably try plugging it into a different circuit, but other than that, it sounds like it's defective.
thank you sir. went directly into a 20 amp just to be sure, and it was low power. Just added another 50 amps to the garage but will most likely put a separate panel out here for the sake of men and power tools everywhere. Haha. Thanks again @@3rdpig
Yes, I still recommend this machine for light duty, occasional use on 110 volts. If your bike parts are steel or steel alloy, then yes, it should be able to do it. But if you're talking aluminum, titanium or other exotic alloys, then you'll probably need a machine capable of high frequency AC/DC TIG welding and proper gas handling.
A better manual and a settings chart would be nice, and probably necessary if they're going to market them to beginners. And while a settings chart is nice to get in the ballpark, there's no replacement for experience when it comes to dialing it in, and that's true of any welder, chart or not. So far I think the easiest way to get this welder in the ballpark is to use an amperage chart for 6011 or 6013 welding rod and the thickness of what you're welding. Set the amps to that, then set the voltage knob to roughly the same spot on the dial. Start on some scrap pieces of the material you'll be welding. Listen to the sound, feel and look of the weld and dial the voltage to get it right, if the voltage is too high the wire will hit the material as you're welding, if it's too low it will burn back towards the tip. And the sound is that perfectly smooth hissing, crackling bacon cooking sound. When it's right, then look at penetration and adjust both knobs higher or lower as needed. I've got a couple of projects in mind. I'm not an artist and have never aspired to be one, so what I've got coming up will be bumpers for my Jeep and possibly some repairs/upgrades to a motorcycle. Unfortunately the outside temps are getting up into the upper 90's here and that's about the time I move to indoor projects, so any welding might have to wait until after summer.
Do the feed rollers spin when you pull the trigger? Is the amperage knob turned up? Is the groove on the feed roller the correct one for the size of wire? Does the wire move at least partway into the gun lead? If so is there a kink in it? Make sure you take the tip off before you run it through.
One place that my Brother worked at years ago bought an EDM machine and they were told to practice on it until they got good at using it. So boys being boys...

I'm still rather surprised to have gotten the tig torch, those alone, even the cheap ones, are usually $40 or so. And I'm not surprised the price has gone up. Same thing happened with the plasma cutter I bought. Before I could even post the video the price was up. I know the world, other than US, uses the metric system.

No mention of the settings you used thanks
You're welcome!
So was the knob on the right with the A under it actually the wire feed speed control??..If not does it have a wire feed speed control
Yes, the Amp control knob also controls wire speed.
Mine came with 1.0 wire even tho the Amazon listing said 0.8
I’m having issues getting the wire to feed through. Any ideas why? It’s all brand new, just unboxed it.
Do the feed rollers spin when you pull the trigger? Is the amperage knob turned up? Is the groove on the feed roller the correct one for the size of wire? Does the wire move at least partway into the gun lead? If so is there a kink in it? Make sure you take the tip off before you run it through.

Newbie but are this gasless?
Flux core wire and stick welding are gasless. If you want to TIG weld you'll need a bottle of gas.

Buyers beware Vevor is a terrible company. Read bbb reviews
Vevor sells Chinese made products and in my experience their products are about on par with Harbor Freight's mid level brands.
