Good day, I just purchased this welder after using an older 125 amp AC flux core welder for the past couple of years. This one is such a step up from that. I also have enjoyed the videos that you have provided as well as the information. You are very clear and really stick to the point without a lot of excess fluff. Keep up the good work. I would also be interested in seeing a foot pedal modification. I also have seen listed on another forum where you can do a mod to add support for a spool gun by tapping into the drive wiring. I am exploring that as well. Seems like they use a DPDT switch and 2 pin connector to split that drive feed.

@@weldingempire thanks for the reply. yeah mate, it’s a good machine for home or hobbyist kind of use simply because you enter you parameters and it’s ready to go. I think someone with more experience could tweak the settings but it seems to go alright for me. I’ve stick welded all my life and I reckon it’s the smoothest machine I’ve ever used. For the tig I reckon I just need an on off foot pedal to an lpg solenoid from a car for the argon. I reckon I’m just wasting too much gas with the tap on the torch. I always have 12v handy in the garage and it should be simple.

I note that you do not use either the power control or gas control on the unit itself so presumably the welder functions a lot like it would for stick welding. Do you know what size and thread holds the mig torch on? And how did you get on with your build video? (though just going to look).

Im super interested in this foot pedal concept, been looking at the PrimeWeld MTS200 but theres no pedal available and thats a deal killer. Otherwise the machine is perfect foe what I need.

great intro video... as far as safety goes and electricity, when turning off the gas valve and laying the torch down are there any precautions to be aware of as far as tungsten touching metal close by unexpectedly. I'm new to tig welding as just thought I'd ask because getting zapped is the last thing i need. I have a torch holder but there's always that chance of careless actions.

@weldingempire

4 ай бұрын

Hi, The tungsten will still arc if it is a scratch start or a lift start. So it will be wise to use a torch holder or place away from your work or if the you are on a metal bench that is also grounded. You won't get a zap from the torch. I hope that helps.

Problem with extinguishing the arc that way is that it leads to arc strikes. Most TIG lift machines have the option for a down ramp after you press the button (or stop pressing the button in case of 2T). This is a much better way to end the arc.

@weldingempire

Жыл бұрын

Hi, I'm not familiar with a lift start TIG with that function. To avoid arc strikes you can tail off onto the wire.

I have the latest Yes Welder MP200 and have a heck of a time trying to start the arc. The tungsten sticks hard most of the time. It seems to be about the same from light material at 25 amps to heavy gauge at 150 amps. I'll try your trick of rolling off the cup, I doubt it'll help much, but I'm hopeful.

Hey sensei, yeah mate sorry be the bearer of bad news but you will need a AC/DC TIG.

Here in the US we have 120V alternating current, is that the same for Australia? I think the max you can go with 120V AC is 125 amps, but I could be wrong. Are these types of welders as good with that level of power? It would sure be easier than tapping into my 240V lines. This is making it tempting to get a multi process welder, but KZread is taking too much of my time for real projects right now.

@weldingempire

3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment. We have 240V in Australia, but I brought a step down transformer to run US products on the 110V. The welder can go up to 160 amps on 110V. So you can easily weld 4-5 mm plate set at 18-20V with a maximum current of 160 amps. The specs on this machine are very impressive, but I find the synergic control way of setting the machine a bit different from the volts/wire type adjustment. Speaking from experience if you do start making real projects, don't film them. That takes a lot of time too.

I learnt Tig in 1995 all scratch start, hi frequency is just cheating but so much easier.

Hi Welding Empire, Great video. I have the YW Mig 205ds and I don't believe it's lift start capable. Scratch start yes, but not lift start. As you mention there is no remote amp control and I have not seen anything to indicate the machine has circuitry to dial back the amps for lift start tig like the old Lincoln Invertec. But the instructions on this machine aren't the best, so it's possible I missed it. Can you please clarify if you are showing lift tig or scratch start?
