This is the newest yeswelder flux core welding machine. It has a new digital display, does lift tig welding and arc welding as well. Very budget machine but it had very decent results
Thanks for the review
On a different note I saw you had a 914 in the shop
I sold mine 25 yrs a go it was a 1970 914/6 loved it that mid engine was a dream unlike the 911’s that liked to play tag with the front when cornering and you better pray you were on the cam to straighten her out
@@Trackhoe075 hahaha nerd. only nerds like us know what a 914 is. It is my hot rod auto cross car
Bro, this is what all machining channels to be. Came to look for a review of the 135pro, and found a really well done video on top of it....
@@CincyNeid wow thank you
I recently bought the same welder and I'm new to welding but everywhere has been saying you don't push flux core you pull. If you push you'll get peroxidy.
True facts. I had the wire speed way to high. Once I turned the wire speed down all was good. Have you used the machine very much?
@@jensendesign4920 I actually haven't used it at all since it shows up on Thursday. I just like to look up all the information I can about things I'm getting into beforehand. Plus my twin brother is a certified structural welder so he's been giving me advice and is going to help out with the learning process.
@@jensendesign4920 why would anyone give you a welder for review if you didn't know a very basic fact?
I have the older, non pro version and it takes Lincoln contact tips and the narrow Lincoln fluxcore nozzle from Lowes. Sadly, the machine does not appear to have a full manual mode, just the "Synergistic" mode with an offset control.
@Silvertone2000 thanks for the info
Great video man. Very helpful 💯
@glasshalffull8829 thank you
Great info honest info have a good one
@@gambitdesert8500 thank you
Thanks for the review!
Cool thanks
I suspect the 3 volts is the trim for that setting you can probably go - 3 & + 3
Im just guessing though.
@@deepwinter77 I have figured out it doesn't give you much control. The 3v is just kinda a fine tune. It sets the power when you tell it what size wire
@@jensendesign4920 Yea i've seen similar trim options, Tbh You can get relatively cheap flux core welders without the crazy screen and digital stuff.
It's going to be more reliable having less delicate components imo maybe a small display for voltage would be ok.
@@jensendesign4920For what it's worth, my understanding is that it's not just the wire size that sets the volts, it's the speed. Wire size + speed = whatever setting YesWelder believes is optimal, and the -3 to +3 is for fine tuning.
I have the machine, but the project it was for got scrapped so haven't used it yet. Read the manual, though, and watched oodles of guides; still mean to learn, just haven't had a chance to try yet.
Nice review, by the way. :P I know newbies seem to like it, but it takes more experienced folks to have a better feel for what's actually good, and what's merely adequate or iffy.
I want to know about that 914 in the back ground.
@dannywiley4072 you are a nerd if you even know what a 914 is hahahah. It is my hot rod and auto cross car. If you have any other questions, let me know. I built it, so I should be able to answer any you have
@@jensendesign4920 I love Porsche. The 914 is just different and most people don’t mess with them. It’s on my list of cars to get along with the Corvair. Does that 914 have the original engine, chassis etc? Or tube chassis etc?
@@jensendesign4920 I video on the car would be great. And maybe I am a nerd lol. I’m cool with that lol.
Can it weld aluminum?
This machine can be used as a stick welder also. So if you had to weld some thick stuff couldnt you just switch to stick welding and get the thicker stuff done?
@Dennon21 Yeah, it might stick weld thicker materal but you are still limited by how many amps the machine puts out.
@jensendesign4920 I'm looking to get this for small jobs around my shop, like replacing body panels, welding together tubing/ frames. Nothing crazy or big. Or even often. Would this be good for that type of stuff?
@Dennon21 yeah stick would be better for bigger stuff. I wish I tried the stick part of the machine
You mentioned not to plug the machine into 110 chord in the beginning if you don't have to. What do you recommend? Plugging right into an inverter generator or some other source of power?
@LastHourJasher if you can it is always better to plug it straight in to the wall and not use an extension cord
@@jensendesign4920 thanks.
How thick of material would you trust this to weld up to? I’m thinking maybe 3/8ths if you did multiple passes, but I’m not sure if it would be able to
I would stay under 1/4 and prep everything really good. 3/8 if you preheat and multiple passes, maybe. Still would switch to a bigger welder
Pretty sure the tech sheet says 3/16ths max, but I've seen folks push it to 1/4 and do alright -- not great, not ideal, just okay. You've got to keep in mind, a lot of flux core wire isn't made for multiple passes. (I'm a newb who hasn't even started yet, and I don't recall the /why/, but you can get wire that allows it.)
Could I use this to build my own flatbed for my Sierra? Out of aluminum or steel? Preferably aluminum. I've only just started researching this lol, after seeing what they want for custom flatbeds 😅
@OTRFlyer it won't weld aluminum. You could use it on steel, and as long as the materal you use isn't to thick this could work
@jensendesign4920 awesome! Thanks for your reply! I think I'm going to have to spend a little more $$ to weld aluminum. I'm trying to keep it as lightweight as I can.
@OTRFlyer I know harbor freight has a spool gun which would probably be the way to go. I haven't used it but it might be worth a try
@@jensendesign4920 awesome! I didn't know that so thanks! Gonna look it up now!
@@OTRFlyeryou can use the stick attachment it comes with to weld aluminum
Influencer 😂 . "CZcamsrs" is the correct phrase
@@MsJacksims I am old give me a break hahahaha
Is the yes welder 135 argon compatible
@timothyweinert4488 nope no gas. It will do tig but the gas runs through the torch lead and has a control knob on the torch handle
How would you know the amperage on this machine?
You kinda don't. But my little Lincon welder just has a b c d settings sooo.....
It tells you on the paper that comes with the machine. Wire speed goes with volts. Then they allow you to adjust the amperage within volts within 3 up/down.
@@gregricksjr.5464 thanks man i ordered it and yes it does have a paper that’s tells you.
@@stoneyisland1491 that’s good. I have the same welder and I really enjoy it. I’m new to welding and learned from CZcams. I’ve made some really nice welds. I just pay attention to my puddle.
@@gregricksjr.5464
You read the directions??? Damn good job
Does it work with 220v?
No the 135 pro is just set up for 110v
What a big honker of a video!!!
Home run. Gona brake the internet
Home run. Gona brake the internet
Claims to be a professional but can't setup a fluxcore machine on your own 😂
On my own who do you think set it up???
@@jensendesign4920 Sorry but I agree with that other guy, you made a monkey fornicating a football look rather coordinated.
