I got the machine!!! It’s rad. I am really stoked on it. I am a total beginner and ran my first beads of silicon bronze and stainless steel. I have only welded three times and only once with my 250p. The other two times was with a Miller and I know that millers are good but mine is better. Smoother. Tomorrow I am going to work with steel for the very first time!

Great videos!!. So its been a year since you have answered questions about the Yes 250 vs the PW225. Now I beleive the PW now comes with the CK WW torch, an updated SSC pedal and power for a water cooler. So my question a year later how do you compare the 2?? Thank you so much,,,, Cheers

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10

2 жыл бұрын

Thanks Don I appreciate that! The two machines are quite comparable but the PW225 has been in it's box in storage since I got the YesWelder TIG 250. I just don't have room for both of them in my shop at the same time. Personally I like the YesWelder better than the PrimeWeld for the following reasons. The YesWelder is much lighter and much smaller. I like the low amperage arc on the YesWelder better than the PW machine. The YesWelder arc is more stable and just a smoother arc especially at low amperage. I prefer the digital user interface of the YesWelder machine over all the knobs and pots style of the PW machine. This really shines with pulse mode settings or settings such as AC balance. A lot of people really like the CK17 and super flex hose on the PW 225 and I do as well but that is only a 150 amp set up on a 225 amp machine. That's why a lot of guys are spending a lot more money and upgrading to a water cooler and water cooled torch for the PW 225 machine. The YesWelder comes with a 200+ amp size 26 torch so a guy can get full use of the machine's capabilities without having to spend more on upgrades. One of the nicest features on the YesWelder machine is it has a temperature controlled cooling fan. That is a great feature for someone like myself who likes to make YT videos and not have the loud fans running constantly in the background. Some may not care if they are in a noisy workshop anyhow it may not matter. The YesWelder is a minimum of $75 cheaper than the PW and often more than that due to YesWelders frequent specials, discounts and coupons. At the time of this writing you can pick up a YesWelder TIG 250P for $600 US Shipped. (that's a steal for a machine with these features IMO) One thing I will give PW is the 3 year warranty where YesWelder only offers a 1 year but other than that, I would prefer owning the YesWelder TIG 250P over the PW 225X machine. YesWelder TIG 250P - yeswelder.com/products/tig250p-acdc?ref=DIYHP10%25

Noticed something today with my welder Bruce. Sometimes, for some unknown reason, my welds get weird, too much heat, they spread out. I have discovered that sometimes the Foot pedal selection light does not stay lit...and it doesn't matter how much you lessen the foot pedal. You have to reset the foot pedal for a few seconds till the light comes back on. I wish there was a way around this! At least I now know where to look first!

I'm fairly new to TIG welding also. I don't know much at all about the Miller Econotig machine but I think it's a transformer machine. (I'm not positive about that.) The answer to your question really depends on what you intend to do with your machine. I would think the Econotig would be a good machine to learn on. As your skills advance, you may desire some "inverter" TIG welding features that an older transformer machine doesn't offer. The YesWelder TIG inverter offers pretty much all the advanced TIG features most people want such as High Frequency start, TIG pulse, gas pre flow and post flow control, spot timer, digital interface as well as a small size and light weight. It's also capable of welding thicker metals than the Econotig because it has 100amps more available power. You'll have decide which welder is better for you and what your intended goals are with your TIG welding. Hope this helps a little.

I had the Primeweld first. I received the YesWelder just about 1 year ago and I haven't plugged in the Primeweld since that day. I really like the YesWeder over the PW. The YesWelder has a much nicer and more user friendly interface. The digital control on the YesWelder makes it easier to fine tune and duplicate settings instead of just getting close. It's also much smaller and lighter. I also think the YesWelder has a smoother low amperage arc in comparison. Not to mention the temperature controlled fan. It doesn't constantly sound like a wind tunnel in the shop when the machine is turned on. And the YesWelder is a little cheaper. They run great sales quite often. I've never seen a PW sale on any of their machines. I like the YesWelder machines better!

Yea it will. If it goes over 200amps, it will easily. 200+Amps really just gets you started, heats the part up, if u look at your welder mid weld on .25" you'll typically see anywhere from 150-190amps after the part has heat in it. That's why they say "a little preheat goes along way." Cuz I've welded 1" thick aluminum to .25" pipe, with 245amps, with a little 200°F preheat. 350amp machines are to increase productivity and efficiency really. Helium mix or Stargon AL are also great methods to up your aluminum game

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10

It's holding up well. I have not had a single issue with the welder since I've owned it. I have used it weekly on my home projects over the past year and a half. I highly recommend this machine for the home shop and hobby welder such as myself. If it stops working, I will replace it with the same machine.

I am confused on the T2 & T4 setting, if I got the numbers correct. I am the owner of a commercial MIG since 1984 and it uses like 14” spools and made adaptor for small rolls. I am forced into an early retirement but after decades of fixing others vehicles mostly at dealers, I am on foot. My son gave up on a nice semi rust free C10 and then donated his Tahoe after a few seconds of black ice. I am sure you see where this is going! Working on every carb made, I want my EFI and Lordy, the aftermarket parts! Sheet metal fits like crap and worn out OEM dies and holding fixtures weld them oddly. I am looking now in May, 2022 only to find the TIG-250P AC/DC had a WP-17 torch, not WP-26, no foot box plus no regulator. Oh well, chips have the same bag, but shy 17 more potato chips than a year ago. Other than Money, was is the difference in the WP-26 and function of T-2/T-4 that was not touched on well enough for my thick skull? Thanks.

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10

The WP-17 is a 150amp torch and the WP-26 is a 200amp torch. 4T is a four touch of the button process. (1)One touch lights the arc, (2)let go of the button and it goes through the upslope to set amperage, (3)press the button again and it goes into downslope to the low amp setting, (4)let go of the button and the arc goes out. 2T is a two touch process, (1)press the button and the torch lights, (2)release the button and the torch goes out.

I have a limited budget for my welding hobby so with the 20% OFF sale, right now I'd say the YesWelder would be my choice. I could use the $170 difference to buy other things such as welding rod, Argon, tungsten, weld metal etc. I say $170 difference because you'll have to buy a regulator for about $30 to use the YesWelder. The Prime Weld comes with a regulator. Hope this helps you out a little. That's a tough question to answer.

Completely understandable Oswaldo I feel exactly the same. I'm coming up on 1 year with this machine and so far no issues at all. The machine I received for demonstrations in my videos was also a used / returned machine. So far I'm very happy with the machine and I have used it pretty much every week over the past year. I think it's a solid machine and a good value. Good luck to you with your purchase decision and welding adventures.

PS: If you decide to buy one now is a great time. YesWelder is running a 20% off at the time of this comment. That is the best discount I've seen from YesWelder. They are now also offering the TIG 250P with and without the foot pedal. This is something new they have started doing. Make sure you order with the pedal if you are wanting one. It does not come with one unless you specify that when choosing the machine I believe it's a $50 difference in price. Not trying to pressure you but I just wanted to let you know if you didn't already. yeswelder.com/products/tig250p-acdc?ref=DIYHP10%25

YesWelder has a good 1 year warranty. If you contact them with an issue and follow the instructions they give for trouble shooting so they can be confident you actually have a faulty machine. They will either refund your money or send you a new machine. They may even have you remove the cover and test a few things and they are always going to want a video of the test they ask you to do so they can see the result of the test. Remember this is a company based in China and not the US so they handle this process a little differently than what most US based companies do. All they need is proof that the machine is faulty and they will make it right but you have to be willing to send video and do a little testing if you have an issue. If you are willing to work with that they will take care of you in my experience. You are going to need 100% Argon for TIG.

I just realized I never really answered your first question. I am a fairly new TIG welder myself. I only had a few months of experience when I received this machine. I think the user interface is pretty nice for a beginner and learning all the controls came fairly quickly for me. I believe, having the foot pedal, pre and post flow control and high frequency start have all helped speed up the learning process. I just recently used a machine with lift start and manual gas control and it seemed to me like that style would have been a little tougher to learn with. Also as you learn and grow with your TIG welding, this machine will pretty much do it all including aluminum right out of the box. Sorry I somehow overlooked your question but I hope this helps. :)

I bought this yes welder 250 p and I cannot have any consistency and I always lose my foot pedal function.

3 жыл бұрын

I do the same thing Mark, it takes me days to make decisions like that and sometimes even weeks. LOL In my area I buy my argon through a local supply company. Not one of the big national companies but a small family owned business. I bought a medium size bottle (120cf) from them and it cost me $285. When it's empty I take it in and they give me full one for $61. I never have to worry about having the bottle certified or anything like that, they take care of all of that. The first bottle purchase and fill up was painful but the $61 to fill it isn't that bad. My first bottle last me 4 months. My second bottle last me two months and I'm now half way through my third. TIG welding is addictive but I do it on a budget and once you have that initial expense it's really not too expensive as a hobby. That really depends on what you use to practice on. I use the weldmetals.com coupons and I've made a trip or two to the local scrap yard to buy some real cheap metal to practice with. Good luck with your decision and let me know if I can help with any more questions. 👍

That's a good question Terry. I do like the size and weight of the YesWelder better than the Prime Weld. I'm still familiarizing with it but I think I like the YesWelder user interface better as well. The Prime Weld comes with a better torch, torch lead and foot pedal though. The YesWelder didn't come with a regulator but the Prime Weld does. It's hard to make a call which one I like better because they both weld really nicely. It's rare to non existent to see a break in the Prime Weld price because they can't keep them in stock. At the moment with the YesWelder end of year sale I think it's a "hard to beat" deal at the moment. At regular price it's a real close call as to which one I like better. I think they are both real capable welders for the cost.
