TIG-200P-ACDC-PRO AC/DC Aluminum TIG Welder

I bought a yeswelder 200p ac/dc aluminum tig welder my first aluminum welder . I’ve welded tig before but it’s been awhile. This welder has all the setup operations done for you except amperage. Which is great I was able to due pretty good after getting used to it some welds nice some not so good I’m still learning there is a lot of variable conditions that have to be taken into consideration. Overall I really liked the welder. I’ve gone through almost 2 125cf tanks of argon and many filler rods . I look forward to learning from my mistakes and getting better at welding.

So I am new to Tig. The advertisement of "Aluminum tig welder" for the square wave sold me. However, you don't need it to weld aluminum. I wish I knew that before I purchased it .I did however find using a foot pedal to control the heat makes things way easier. I purchased the yeswelder 5 pin foot pedal as well.I have been practicing for only a few hours. Took a while to understand how hot is too hot. I watched a bunch of videos online and found out having a pedal is the only way to go if you are learning.I used 3/32 blue tungsten at first and I ended up going to 1/8 for easier use. It's hard going from flux core MiG to Tig. Tig requires you to keep the arc at a specific height and don't pull the torch away like MiG. It's fun to learn new things! Way worth the challenge for sure. Will I be a pro? No. But I learned something and can add a new ability to my garage.Welder pros:This welder has a lot of features like adjustable upslope, downslope and frequency along with square wave, balance, pre flow and post flow. Much more than I'd ever need.Welding some aluminum plate, I was able to do some basic start and stop exercising and really trying to learn how to control my hand. The welder really is amazing. You really need to understand the process of it and just play around with it. For amps, I started off too high. Frequency I started off too low. My post flow wasn't long enoughh. After realizing I was burning through the aluminum I lowered the amps to about 50 and then I was able to not burn through. Again, controlling it with the foot pedal is best because you can see the weld pool and adjust your foot and cool it down or heat it up.My settings for 1/8 aluminum (AC)60 amps ( max, controlled by pedal)Pre flow .5Frequency 120Post flow 5.5Tungsten 3/32 blueArgon 15 CFH#8 gas diffuserThe frequency is cool. You can tighten up the arc cone and make the arc really tight or smaller with a higher frequency. Really cool!Overall I'm pretty happy with this machine. I hope it lasts.Cons:The manual. No settings guide other than titanium. It doesn't even explain what each of the settings do. Just basic definition of the settings.I don't like how large to torch is. It is huge, like a MiG torch. Also the torch is an all in one. No separate line for the lead and gas.*I ordered a different torch and new hose. It is way better than the one that comes with the machine.I don't like the cheap push buttons for the various settings. I wish it had an LCD like other machines.It didn't come with a gas regulator.It didn't come with any tungsten.

The machine is smarter than I am. Quite impressive, the one thing it needs is a larger display screen. I literally need a magnifying glass to read the display, does it really need to be that small? Its almost doll house size. When I was 12, I could probably read it, but most of us are significantly older. Thank you!!

Manque un peu d¡¯indication mais semble bien souder.

Nice little welder. This is my second Yeswelder, the first being a DC only model. Both great machines. I'd recommend the product and would purchase again.
