I have been looking for a review for these inverter welders. You see I only just got into welding, as a matter of fact, I am still a spectator at the time of writing but now I can say I am confident in going into welding and choosing a welding machine because of this Video, I appreciate your effort in making this video.
Thank you Kasyan TV
I bought one of those small DC inverter welders as well (though not this exact one) and it just amazes the heck out of me how well it actually welds. A lot easier to move around than my old Lincoln AC225 buzzbox too :)
What is the price?
I've had one of these little guys for about 4 years now. It never ceases to amaze me...
What's the model you have, if you dont mind.
@@plucky2115 I couldn't find a model # on the machine. It's from Harbor Freight about 4-5 yrs ago. It says; Chicago Electric welding systems Inverter arc welder(uses 3/32" electrodes). Case is white and is 9" D X 4" W X 5 1/2 " H. Hope this helps. Y-T
@@ytwhite5930 thats good enough thank you now i know where to look for it
Hi. Would you highly recommend this device? I only want to use it to do light welding on Classic cars that I will buy and sell, but only will weld occasionally as I try to buy classic cars that don’t need welding but past experience has cost me to pay someone else to weld bits of my previous classic cars! Apologies for the long message 🤦🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️👍🏻
@@NicknameSID If you need to do precise welding get a Tig torch to go with it and some Argon gas then you can do a scratch Tig start.
I have one of these, goes to 80 Amps & works pretty good. Your welds Look Great!
Sorry that you are full of the poo poo.
I bought this machine from the geek less than €50 including delivery. Delivery time was 2 weeks. I tested with 1.6 mm stainless, 2.5 and 3.2 normal stick. The performance is very good, ach is stabile, start is easy. The size is awesome. It's been a very nice deal, i am quite happy and satisfied.
Szia László! Azt szeretném megkérdezni tőled, hogy milyen néven, és hol vetted? Előre is köszönöm!
Is it easy to make a hole with 1.6mm tainless?
WELL SINCE YOU LIKE THAT LITTLE WELDING BUZZ BOX SO WELL WHY DON'T U MOVE OVER TO CHINA AND LIVE THERE 4 THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AND HELP COMMUNIST RED CHINA MAKE LITTLE WELDING BUZZ BOXES,PAINT THEM RED WITH GOLD STAR,U WILL BE EVEN MORE HAPPY😀😀😀
Thanks for sharing I've been doing welding work since I was 21 now I'm 50 years old still a welder I never had a chance to use that smaller machine but it works good job.
Is it advisable to buy this?
@@solomonpaul5317
Yes.
15 years ago I bought for 100 USD an italian Telwin 100 Amp, a 125V which could be plugged on a common 15A plug so it was usable everywhere with 6013; 309 and 312 sticks. Excellent for light fabrication and reparations anywhere with a 15A plug. I gave it 5 years ago to a friend after burning hundreds of sticks, it works always flawlessly.
A trick, with these miniature inverters, stainless steel sticks as the the 309 and 312 are easier to use, with less heat and gives very good results, specially on 14 gauge galvanized tubing, as the welds are smooth, with minimal burn of the galvanization. No grinding needed as the "glass" pops by itself and the welds are nice.
That is a characteristic of DC welding.....you hardly ever get a bad weld and no splatter either.
thank you, it is extremely rare i make comments on CZcams but i really appreciate your review very detailed and extremely helpful, well presented thank you, i have been restricted to a wheelchair over the last few years and my mig welder has sat there for years not used as it just way to big and even on wheels it just not practical, and this sort of welder looks to be the sort of thing that i can use, that is easy to move about light and i will be getting something similar, the sip T1400 and will be looking forwards to being able to do some small welding jobs again. you are a star thank you so much i wish there were many more like you, you made clear all the info people could want, i would suggest maybe if you do any follow ups or similar items you demo welding a couple of bits together and show how well the weld reaches in to the metal, i know you said you are no welder but many people that have never welded will likely watch and be interested in how easy or hard you find it as a novice. anyway take care and thanks again.
This welding machine is not bad compared with the money you spend at less it works well.
A very informative review, thanks for sharing. Shame about it not having a soft startup. That will put allot of undue strain on the components.
Cool video. Not bad beads for someone who doesnt weld. Hard to tell how well it penetrated the steel tube. Would like to see another video with welding pieces together to see strength of the welds and maybe some holes in steel plates filled in. From what i could see it was pretty effective
She said she is not a Welder but she can do good at it 🤣🤣🤣 Engineers like you know your stuff too, to check if it really works 😊
Got this for free, works better than my Harbor Freight stick welder hands down.
Are the mains and secondary windings of the transformer not isolated from eachother? Dark and light copper wires seem to touch eachother. If that is the case, isolation is only from the coating on the copper wires. That can not be good. It's difficult to see from the video.
No reply on my point. So point taken :-) I bought such welder too. It was actually cheap (
Some kids I graduated with couldn't even run beads that good lol.
Good review. You get what you pay for. Hobby only.
I delivered it from banggood it smallest than I expected but working well
Price in Indian currency tell me
This review was very helpful. Thank you so much.
When you measure the temperature of the heatsinks, because they are silver colour they will measure very low even if they are hot. Paint them matt black and do the measurement again .
Exactly they reflect the IR So you can't get an accurate reading
The circuit looks scary as balls! I WANT ONE :D
Can you please explain how you did connect the wires? Because there are two cables (brown and blue) and what type of plug did you use
@ 4:07
"For such a Bay-beh, it's very Gewd"
LoL
I am very impressed with your review! This has to be one of the best most detailed reviews I've ever seen!
Not available in the UK, that's a real shame
The best technical review,
Cal:240Vx40Ax0.8/38Vout=200A
In order to output 200A, change IGBT to 50
Amp or higher, change current sense to lower turn to boost out put current,
Change output diode to to 250A
Good luck
You do not need soft start for welder since you never weld before you turn on switch
Good ideas for upgrade 👍
But surge limiter is also a good idea to charge 680microF cap slowly, reducing shock on rectifier & switch.
Thank you for that review. I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Do you think that this welder is capable of welding small structural parts on a bicycle. ie a pannier rack? Please advise me.
Still useful?
Yes
The lack of plug is so they can ship the same unit to different countries
Even expensive ones dont have power plug,its because diferent wall plugs in diffent country's.Power plugs are cheap and easy to install.
then they should at least put some crocodile clips for us in the package!
Thank you for this rich and very useful video. Well done 👍
In three months time I will be in the Philippines, can I order it from there (Manila) instead of ordering it here in the US and bring it to the Philippenes? Thank you.
You can easily find it locally,not same brand but similar.just check shopee or lazada.
linear transformer welding is still the best for regular use.but I bought one for projects that needs only few welding,very light and compact.
Apart from a missing ground wire I like your presentation. Thank you, look forward to more in future.
I just want to drink a beer and listen to hear try and say the word GOOD again.
Splashing of welding small fire at the cement or road unlike of breaking glass can be fall the tiles
Very informative. Anti-stick is very important
Thanks so much for the video help me a lot
Yes ..to be honest it was a nice review.
Very helpfu.
Mam, can you please help me in repairing such inverter welding machine.....I have changed the blown IGBTs and rectifier..But unfortunately Iam getting repeated damage for the replaced ones.
I have also checked the other adjacent components for fault..but they all seems ok. What to do...please help.
Hope you will help.
Very good explanation. Can I ask about the inverter welding machine circuit diagram?
My boss once said you can bullshit a mig weld but you can't bullshit an arc weld. awesome little unit.
I have one, GREAT machine, I've built a Trailer with it NO PROBLEM mostly 3mm sticks
this review is so good it makes me want to buy one. i would if i didn't already have a multi-process AC/DC tig with stick mode.
we also supply welding machine,you can contact me
The enclosure is metal and It didn’t look earthed, earth bonded or double insulated. Could be a death trap?
LABizñ
I bought one, the 120v version, and there is a screw on the back that is supposed to be used to connect a wire to ground the unit, I'm not sure why but the one in this video doesn't have it, maybe mine is newer. Also not sure why they didn't just include the ground wire with the other 2, I think maybe they got in trouble for not having it grounded so they just added the screw on the back to keep from getting sued. Having said that it does work pretty well for how cheap it is, though the amperage isn't quite as advertised, and it is difficult to strike an arc. Great deal for the money though.
Very comprehensive
Excellent video, I'm buying this welder to repair some fencing around the house in the summer and now I can even check on the components, whether I bought the real deal.
Also props to the Chinese for their cheap and affordable tech.
very nice welding watching from the philippines😎😎
Me too! I just can’t understand what I’m doing wrong when trying to weld. This guy’s weld looks not too bad from such a tiny machine. I have a Yamato 300 amp inverter type and my welds look really bad. I tried adjusting the amperage, reversing the leads, cleaning the weld surfaces like a mirror and still, my welds are poor. I’m wondering if it might be the rod I’m using. I would like to try a different type but I can’t find any.
yo lo he comprado por 37€, el envío ha sido desde Chequia, a España llegó en 5 días incluidos sábado y domingo, no lo he probado porque estoy operado hace una semana, no puedo hacer esfuerzos, pero parece ser una buena inversión para mis pequeños trabajos
Great video. Very clear with a good level of technical information.
I like welding machines very much
Please do a video using 6010 electrodes, and show open circuit voltage.
Great review
Wow very good welds indeed, but how much power does it need, I mean can I power it using a 1500Watt Invertor??
Hola amigo, e visto ese genial soldador y me parece magnifico para trabajos en casa, me gustaría mucho que me dijera donde lo venden y el costo, por favor muchas gracias. Amigo soy del Perú.
Good review
I enjoyed the video ; only one thing made no sense...I 've been welding since 1974...the last thing you want on a welder is a soft start...all that does is make the welding rod stick...maybe you didn't know that...
Good review. Detailed out the components. I like your review. I like it and i do subcribe.
Thanks
This was a very useful video. Thank you very much for measuring the output at maximum setting.
Amazing deep review
Will you recommend buying this type of small welding machine for home use please.?
"I will weld"... Wow! You've got hairy arms... :) Thanks for posting, interesting.
how much
Nice your toking
Nice your toking
Her review was good. She has to test it on more situations.
She's a he or he's a she? Or is a she with hairy arms? Or a is a he with a she voice? We need answers here!
@@chapiit08 I think the translator is she, and the electronics are made by a russian guy
Excellent video.
Due inverter welder user long wire so no power plug so it we add length of wire also it save cost .
So it's missing 70% of rated capacity right from being brand new, and still you think it's "good"?
In my country that's textbook "false marketing" and it is straight up illegal.
This is not the smallest welder I have seen. Here in australia I have seen a 170amp inverter welder that clips to your belt and is made for steal fixers .
The size was 150mm x 130mm x 65mm.
Dieter can you please send me a link to the welder you’ve descried please?
hi bro i like your all videos very useful....☺
i am : India in Tamil nadu
Excellent
First Video I have watched of this channel and it only took half the video to become a subscriber. Good video. I have a unit like this, mine came with the cable for a few dollars more. I suspect that these boards are built on mass and then a "manufacturer" puts in in their own case and labels it. However I could be wrong. At any rate, mine does not provide the amperage it advertises (200) but it does weld pretty good.
What ampere breaker do you use at the panel for it? And do you use it on 110v?
@@ramblerssafarnaama4181 I have used it at 110V and 220v, While it does work at 110 volt, I have to increase the amperage on the dial in order to get the same kind of weld. I find it lacks the initial "Omph" to create the arc and sticks more often at 110v. I get better and more consitant result at 220v. For the 110v, I have a 30amp breaker available and at 220v, it is a 50 amp breaker. Do you find similar results?
Got mine working today, first time welding. I noticed mine has a screw at the back near the power switch, it says in the manual that it is supposed to be used to connect a ground wire to the unit, which is an odd way of setting it up, as the wire would be housed independantly of the others. I noticed on yours that there is no such screw on the back. Mine is the 120v version. It is very difficult to strike an arc with it, it sticks to the metal a lot, but for $100 I got it, plus the grounding clamp wire and the electrode holder. Very good deal.
100? harbor fright has far better wire welders for that price.
Can we add external soft start?
Yes. Kasyan already has a video about external soft start: czcams.com/video/igb9FntUCck/video.html
oh god . you have man hands.. i love your videos very well made
Good service.
Hi !!! All videos very useful.
use the backside of that brush to break that black stuff on top of your weld and then brush it, should save you some time and effort.
I already use a lot of welding inverter but the most durable and good quality Is mosfet than igbt. You can compare the igbt to an iPhone.
MOSFET should create less heat. Transistors are current driven. FETs are voltage driven much like a tube.
Fantastic, dude! Thanks for the review! 😃
I was looking into this welder and thinking about buying it... Now I'm sure it could handle my small projects! 😃
BTW, did you ever find any mig welder from Banggood or something? That would be fantastic as well!
Do yourself a favor and buy old transformer machine-sure it will be harder to start ,but once you learn use those you will be better at welding with anything new.
+It will outlast you and your grandkids since its just copper coils and no electronics but a switch.
These cheap inverters are just not worthy,even for hobby use.
@@zumbazumba1 but are they not very heavy to carry around?
@@josh-pe5fe 99% of job is done in shop ,unless you do field work like a lot portability is not something you should aim for when buying a welder.Beside you can always make a cart with wheels for it.
@@zumbazumba1 You are right. The old welders were solidly built with plenty of copper and really indestructible. But the Chinese want to build everthing the cheapest and having cheap labour, minimal materials used and government subsidisation results in equipment such as these inverters. They will last only as good as their manufacturer. Here in Australia we made excellent welders, and I believe all the makers have disappeared, replaced with container loads of Chinewse junk.
Great rewiev, thanks!
Easy to bring..put in the pokcet.
i bought one and it came without the welding wire,,where can you find those,i the USA they are too small
Nice device.
I am American. Our version is 120 volts and claims to give 80 Amps max. I'm not as pleased as I had hoped to be. I had good service from 1/8" 7018 rod, so far. Your voice is lovely to listen to, but the lack of crispness makes it hard for my old ears to understand. A pair of earphones sometimes cures this, so, I have no complaints.
2:04 There are at least 5 different types of plugs worldwide. Its way too expensive to give you a plug that you most probably wont use
Not to mention 3 phase and single phase special plugs for machines.
Well let your country make one better than the Chinese and sell it for a cheaper price.Than I can buy one.
Excellent review, very complete !!! Un abrazo grande desde Argentina!
Thanks very helpful 👌👍
Its funny, I have never heard the word "capacious" be used before, yet I understood what it meant right away due to the context. So thank you for teaching me some english words even though I am a white guy from the US who only speaks english:)
PS I am pretty well read and educated.
It's quite funny indeed man, whole your statement in this comment is basically oxymoron ))
there is absolutely NO WAY these hands and that voice belongs to the same person
Unless you are a bit kinky and like hairy arms.....
Bravo 👏
Thanks to the postol work for damage?? It's poorly packaged.
Welding is usually to get two pieces of metal together ... ...
Interesting, I want to learn more
They even saved on a ground wire! Dangerous equipment. Coresize of 1,5 mm2 makes me laugh.
The lack of plug saves taxes as it is not a complete ready to use product, like a kit.
What can the smallest welding inverter DO? You are missing "do". Other than that great video.
did i hear that thing only putting out 120amps instead of its claimed 200amps?
Yes nothing new when it comes to china -12000 lumens flashlight -please 12 lumens is stadium reflector.
@@zumbazumba1 yup i just wish they were honest about these things..
That reminds me of my dual voltage everlast welder. Really good power in a small package. Very convenient to carry.
Yes there amazing for the size, l got a Parker 160 inverter few weeks ago and I have welded my mates shed frame with 2.5 rods, used about 80 rods, l run it from a 16amp supply.
Why the transformer is non wound with Litz wire? What is the switching frequency?
As a person who buys Chinese devices. This welder more than likely claims to have 220amps but in reality it is 30-40% of that capacity.
Have you watched the video at all? where did I talk about 220A? I showed that the real current is 100A czcams.com/video/96N8nYt6-7c/video.html
A youtube like to dislike ratio would be nice right now...
8.38 "I pick up the welder......" that has to be the fairest arm on a woman I have ever seen!!!!!!
I have a question. How this machine delivers 120a max when the output rectifiers are total capacity of 80a 4X (D92-02)????

I love my powerarc 140st inverter welder. Handy little sparker.
