Thanks for the video review. I'm considering purchasing the product. The Kickstarter fine print scares me though.
Boilermaker pressure welder here with a few tips for you:
First off wear long sleeves and a high neck shirt. Arc burn is real don't be a cowboy.
Obviously you've been told use comp air for plasma.
Read the current setting for your (smaw) stick welding rods. 75-90ish amps for 3/32 7018 and 95-130 for 1/8 7018.
100% argon is your friend.
You should see zero sparks when tig welding.
Also since you have the set up consider duel shielding mig welding. That's Flux core with argon shielding. Very nice welds.
Finally just for frame of reference:
Stick welding can weld any thickness.
Tig welding needs cleanliness but is ideal for thin and or Critical welds.
Mig is fast and easy but also the weakest weld even in ideal conditions. Keep that in mind.
Also consider a standoff for your plasma cutter it will save the tip and create consistency.
Sorry for the flex great work.
Dude holy crap! Thank you for this awesome feedback. This is very very helpful!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Aaaaaaaa
Glad to see a review where someone is actually trying, would like an update if you could dial in and become comfortable. FYI plasma uses just air compressor, tig uses 100% argon, mig is 75/25.
Just ordered mine via Kickstarter. Looking forward to receiving it this fall. As others have said, compressed air for plasma cutting instead of shielding gas 👍🏽
Yes don’t be like me 👍
@@MakersLane gotta mess up sometimes to learn! Keep up the solid work 🤙🏽
Good luck with your new welder. I’m sure you will love it!
How to order? Im from philippines
Extremely expensive way to cut. I’m a novice but even I know you generally use compressed air to cut.
The manual tells you to use compressed air for cutting. If he was cutting with argon, that is crazy expensive! But I assume the switch from air to argon was just lost in the editing.
You need to use a compressor and the gauge/air water separator to use the plasma cutter properly. It does say cut gas but that's just pressurized air. The shielding gas is only for Mig and Tig. Flux core and stick comes with a shield attached to the wire or stick. Please do a bit of research as most plasma cutters work the same.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks for posting this. I just got mine via Kickstarter and this is a great intro. Even if you didn’t do everything right! 😂
Glad you enjoyed!
Tig should have used 100% Argon.

@@MakersLane that chart you've linked is saying you can use argon helium mix for tig. being that CO2 is a reactive gas you could be unintentionally contaminating your weld as it splits into carbon and oxygen while welding
Oh crap you are right. Well I am a novice at this. Thanks for the feedback.
with a plasma cutter you don't need to have a shielding gas you use an air compressor for a plasma cutter shielding gas 75/25 is used for the mig and 100% argon is used for TIG.
Def not gonna criticize you for using shielding gas to plasma cut but always turn the welder off before messing with your wire or contact tips there is alot of amps running through that machine and through that wire if your running dcep
Great tip, thank you.
I thought the wire is dead until you pull the trigger?
Did you run flux core on dcep? Bc it should be ran on dcen.
Ordered mine
Are you having issues with the synergic settings preprogrammed ?? So far I tested mines on 220v using .035 solid with gas co2mix on 14ga(2mm)
steel selecting the 14ga thickness It seems to have problems welding. Not just 1 welder its both welders! But when I switch out to .030 Flux
and on 120v selecting 14ga works fine. It basically sucks on solid .035 wire on 220v ! It feels under powered on both mp200. Values displayed are not true!
You could just hook it up to an air compressor for the plasma
I don't understand which wheel to use for mig and Flux core do I use the smooth wheel for Flux or the wheel with ridges?
Sir is there any yes welder machine here in philippines? I want one
Is this good at welding back sheared ball joints?
Duty cycle?
Lol you didn't read the instructions. No kidding,
I would have never guessed with your "interesting" way to use a plasma cutter. 😂
It did work though... but next time I will use compressed air.
That's actually all you not enough argan in there and plus if you got the wrong gas if you got 75-25 it will not take weld correctly
I think it's pretty silly if they got a plasma cutter they don't put a high frequency start in it it's a lift tig
I’m guessing they did it to keep it cheap
@@MakersLane and far as TIG welding goes you need to have 100% pure argon to TIG weld. And I know you said it's been a minute since you TIG welded but the way you were going even with a pedal a pedal wouldn't make miracles there's no difference between a pedal and lift tig only thing a pedal does is high frequency start and able to control your heat
i love it how can i get it in nigeria.
Not sure. Did you try the link?
Please do everyone a favor and never review a welder again.
Sorry man. I couldn’t turn down a free welder. What could I have done better?
@@MakersLane as you stated in your video a couple time, you did not even open the manual. This would have helped and made for a much more informative video.
It was the prototype. So let’s just say the manual was somewhat lacking.
Yeah I doubt that seriously Sir. I have used harbor freight welders from China when I was learning and they still have clear instructions on the proper gas mix and the use of compressed air for plasma. You just figured you could wing it and made bad choices which made for weak performance and possible dangerous results. Educate yourself before you educate others.
did you use a compressor for the plasma cutting? did you have argon for the tig welding?
Shielding gas for both
75% argon 25% co2
@@MakersLane travis

@@MakersLane what? Just a plain old air compressor to plasma cut.
Noted. I can cut for way cheaper now. Thank you
But I know I'm not going to invest another $500 in a welder when I already got one that does everything else and I bought it for a quarter of the price
So. What is it?
@@bigtimes susemse mig-255 dose mig ,stick,and lift tig bought it for $250 from e-bay been a great product for the last year been working it hard fabing roll cages and stainless steel turbo manifolds.
my man you cant tig weld with 75/25
There are alot of basic fundamentals you need to learn before you review a piece of machinery that you completely don't understand
They asked me... I totally agree, but would you turn down a free welder?
@@MakersLane i would not have turned down that welder if it was free, but I would have at least spent a little bit of time doing at least some research if I was not familiar with something that I had to show thousands of people that might be new to it like you. heck i would even take yours to re-review but my following is not like yours.
@@alandonis4673 They sent it to me 2 weeks before they were releasing the welder, and asked if I could release a video by then. I think you are right, I should probably do a re-review in a couple of months. Once I have a bit more experience and more feedback from you guys.
@@MakersLane They sent it to you 2 weeks before the Kickstarter to gauge interest. They won't be releasing the actual product till October. But yes you should do another review but maybe have a friend give his opinion as a knowledgeable welder.
@@alandonis4673 agreed
Could of saved money and just used the air water separator that it comes with and an air compressor like most plasma cutters use lol
Haha well I feel like an idiot...
that is NOT ¼" material. That's 1/8" and I'd bet money on it, lol. And it was horrible at it. It's a completely over-rated, over-hyped welder that lots of videos actually show people having a hard time actually getting it to work properly.
I like it and it works for what I need it for.
Bro you aren't a welder at all so please don't refer to yourself as such.. By the way how did you manage to get them to send you this opportunity .?
Well “bro” you aren’t a CZcamsr at all so you wouldn’t understand.
They are announcing the retail price of $1K, for a $500 machine!!!!
With that money you can buy better machines for each welding type, such as Lotos HF TIG AC/DC for aluminum and without the risking all your $1k in one single machine. Plus, Yeswelder customer service is terrible, seriously it suck. It seems that Yeswelder does not make the products, only brand them.
That means, when you need replacement parts, they will tell you to buy newer machines because they don't have even a spool holder for "their" MIGs.
