There are a few key times when I invested in myself that looking back, I can see clearly how they paid off big time.
One of those times was deciding to buy my first tig welder.
Back around 94, I remember that I had to swallow hard to spend 2500 dollars for a syncrowave 250. This was around 1994 so that was obvious choice or me because there just weren’t nearly as many options back then.
I also had to get some wiring done in my garage because a 250 needs a 100 amp breaker.
But I remember seeing of some of my friends were buying bass boats or motorcycles with their tax returns and I thought to myself…why am I hesitating on this welder? I know this machine is a better investment than a boat..and… it will make me money.
I even took out a loan to buy it but I easily paid it off in just a few months doing side work.
I didn’t know it at the time but deciding to buy that machine paved the way for a lot of big things down the road.
Like a TH-cam channel with over a million subs, an online welding supply store at weldmonger.com and a great life.
Fast forward 30 years, If I were starting a side hustle today, I would probably start off with this welder.
Dont be afraid to invest in yourself.

Great content as usual Jody 💯
I sold my sand raiI, a badass Yamaha Banshee four-wheeler and a vintage small block Ford 302 tripower complete with original carburetors ,fuel rail and air cleaner.
All I wanted was learn how to weld and bought a brand new Miller 351 Synchrowave.. taught myself how to weld, moved to North Carolina and worked my way into the Nascar Cup teams as a chassis fabricator.
Go for what you truly want in life, it takes balls and most won't do it..
Thanks again Jody for all you do showing us a way to become better fabricators and welders!!
I have the PrimeWeld TIG225X and I have no complaints about it. I'm still learning and need to get some more seat time. I've used it to stick weld quite a bit but so far have been more successful in sticking the tungsten to my coupons then filler. Can't blame the welder on user error. Their customer service is awesome. I emailed a question on a Saturday night and it was answered by Sunday morning. I wanted to also say Thanks to Jody for providing us so much helpful information.
You should call sometime during work hours (eastern time) and REALLY be blown away with who they are . Gene is the guy you will most likely talk to, but then you just may talk to the owner (Mike) too . Both of these guys will treat you like a friend and knowledgeable ta boot .Hands down the best customer service you can get . :)
Thanks for all the great content Jody, I’ve learned a ton from you. You should make a video taking the UA-45 test, schedule 10 stainless with purge.
Can't get enough of this kid. Always informative and enjoyable.
the man himself always dropping great intel in short, concise videos with nothing but the best info out there and honest to boot. keep up the great work sir!
Valuable info for welders of any skill level.
Good morning Jody☕️
Good stuff as always
I’m a 60hz guy.
Bought my Syncowave 300 back in 1987.
Miller True Blue financing 💸
Like you said, everyone had a new car or boat. I had TIG a welder😎
I still have it of course ⚡️
Thanks for another cool video 🎥
I picked up a dinosaur Miller 330 A/BP for $200 untested a couple years ago. i fixed one switch, re-wired the foot switch and replaced the gas hose (so I could trigger the arc with the foot switch instead of drag start). paid for the welder with my first job. only downside is the size/weight!
Hey Jody, great video and thanks for sharing and I wanna thank you for all your support and videos, I love them. Also thanks for the videos about the Primeweld, I have an 225X and I am very happy with it, greetings from Holland, Christian.
That's pretty cool, there's a lot to be said about a solid manual and even more so an online video walk through of each setting. Nicely done!
I weld all day and I enjoy welding around 170hrtz you get the arc stability and not the high pitch whine
Thank you for the great videos and sharing your knowledge. You talked me into it and I just bought the 225x from your store. Need to collect a few more trinkets and I'll be ready to try it out.
Thank you for the workbook. Great production values.
I really like that machine. I wish I had one. I'm currently using an older Vulcan AC/DC tig 200 from HF. I like it too.
That’s awesome Jody! Thank you 🔥👊
Awesome history lesson Brother. Great Info! 👍
It sounds like a annoying mosquito in your ears I use my Tig 225x at 200 hz on aluminum on a lot of my repairs of dog boxes, truck boxes, step bars even on some cast aluminum it keeps the arc tight and focused where I need it. As I always do thank you for the great content and information you have shared with us I wouldn't be interested in Tig welding like I am. It's a enjoyable hobby to have to along with the auto repair I do as my hustle just another service I use. Keep up the amazing work awesome to seeing primeweld Tig welder in the mix in your shop..😊😊😊
Thank you for the guide, much appreciated...
Greetings from Austria. Thank you for all the Videos and instructions. more Plz 😉
Good for you, I cant find work. Thanks for the reminder.
I really am having hard time deciding if I like my primeweld 325 or your channel more.
Regardless of whether you use 60Hz or 300Hz, it is always a good idea to use earplugs
my rehm tiger 230 ac dc has a preset for aluminium with autofrequency - "high frequency with pedal low - low frequency below 40Hz (dunno exactly rn) with 230 amps full throttle. you feel the arcstability with high frequency and see and feel the penetration with low frequency, but sometimes a wobbly calotte on the tig rod - the white ones working much better than the green ones.
nice. thank you.
🍻Thank you so much. Seriously appreciate the content, help, and experience. 🙏
Para mi el mejor maestro 👌👌
I really want to try one of these machines out. They seem to be priced extremely competitively
Thanks Jody
อธิบายเข้าใจง่ายดี😊
You'll see much more difference in how the process goes with different waveforms of AC. Most invertors gives just square wave because it's effective and very easy to generate using electronic transistor H-bridge. But some inverters can generate sine or triangle waveforms that requires more powerful microcontroller and faster MOSFETS. But those waveforms sounds different and feels different. Sine wave you can actually remember from that old buzzy boxes with heavy transformers inside.
Hey Jodie expect a pretty steep decline in Helium prices coming in a few years.
There was a gigantic Helium discovery found in Minnesota,
estimated to be the biggest in north American history and one of the biggest in the world.
It has an extremely high percentage of Helium 12.4%, which is 30 times the industry average according to reports.
It will probably take 18 to 24 months to make it fully operational and producing Helium for the market.
Great video Jody! Lose the earplugs and get you a set of Bose noise canceling earphones (Apple makes them too if you're an Apple guy) which will suppress the noise and let you listen to music while you work. If the phones don't fit under your face shield, both companies make excellent noise canceling earbuds. (I don't work for either company but I love my Bose phones and buds)
The primeweld will do ok on 120V power all the way up to about 120A. You can turn it up to 140A but it’ll pop a 20A breaker if you weld for more than 30 seconds or so.
I got my 325x over Christmas holiday.. Had the best experience with their customer service, even dealing with the back order my scenario was worry free!
Got mine around the same time, great welder so far.
When I weld tig AC, I always use earplugs. It just is loud and out of my comfort zone. I’m using inverter and higher frequencies than 60Hz.
Buying useful tools is a wise investment in oneself. I always say this doctors , lawyers and business types buy books , Blue collar guys buy tools . What is your future , your safety and your convenience worth ?
How thick of aluminum can this machine weld without helium or pre heating with a 240v single phase outlet? Can it weld aluminum blocks / heads / manifold flanges, etc? I currently have a Lincoln square wave 255, but it struggles above 1/4" with AL without preheating and just running Argon. A video showing the true max capability of the machine for the average guy (non-helium) would be nice. Great videos regardless thank you.
How many amp breaker was that on? I enjoy how you always tell us all of your setting it is rather annoying watching videos where they neglect to share that info.
Can you get Migatronic over there. They have PDF and video guides. Own and use a migatronic pi 500 TIG, it can weld everything
I never thought one could weld aluminum at 60Hz. Does that mean my tombstone can weld aluminum if add a Tig rig argon, and aluminum filler rod? God bless and work safe.
Have you had success tig welding the cracks on piston tops? Thanks, Harvey
Do you ever Tig weld on old metal? I was tonight & failed miserably as I tried to weld a new piece of steel to 80+ year old auto body steel. I was getting sparking like I was running Flux Core!
Very nice work, now how can I get prime weld guide book? I'm very much interested in welding I have welding machines Mig Tig plasma. I'm a Zambian
❤
I'm trying to decide between the Primeweld TIG225X vs the TIG325X. I'd be running it on a dedicated 50 amp, 230 volt circuit either way. Not super enthusiastic about running the water cooler, though. How much extra capability do you think the 325 has with no water cooler compared to the 225?
How is the best way to go about finding side work? I bought a tig with intentions to get some side work going but it’s few and far between.
Random question what's the smallest filler you can use for a tig open root 1/16?
How are you liking the 325x?
Is the downloadable manual only for the PrimeWelld machine or is it applicable to similar machines? Thanks for all your efforts!

Where can I buy USA made tungsten?
Is there much difference between 300hz and 400hz
خیلی خوب
ممتاز
Can't find the link for the download for the free PDF for the primeweld machine

*_Don't you have a mig welding e-book?_*
Coming soon
What machine would you recommend for a fella that’s not trying to make money with it? Let’s say a guy just wants to do some TIG (steel and aluminum) welding in the garage and already has a MIG and stick welder.
225 hands down . :)
@@user-kh2yl6nn3l prime weld 225 or another brand?
225 weldmongerstore.com/collections/spring-rebates-instant-10-off/products/primeweld-tig225x-ac-dc-tig-welder-with-pulse
I also have heard nothing but good things about the 225. It's the machine I would get if I needed to TIG aluminum.
@@user-kh2yl6nn3l I’m assuming you’re referring to the primeweld 225?
have you tried stick welding with it? curious how well it runs stick
I’ve done a little stick with 7018 vertical and overhead. Did fine
@@weldingtipsandtricks good to know thanks! Keep up the good work! I’m a welding instructor and show your videos all the time in class truly appreciate it since it’s hard to give a live demo to 10-15 students at a time!
put in your ear buds and rock out
Can't find that pdf anywhere.. has anyone found it on the website?

Awesome! Thanks Master Welder! I love your videos! I've been watching your work for many years now! I've now been TIG welding for an FAA repair station for almost 3 years now and I did get some inspiration from you Mr Jody!
سلام مهندس خسته نباشید اگر من بتوانم بیام انجا برای یاد گیری خیلی خوب بود
I really can't stand aluminum tig welding because I wanna listen to music, an podcast while I weld.
Noise canceling headphones dude
여기는 한국입니다.한국에선 220V 60HZ 를 사용합니다.가능합니까?
오래간만에 왔는데 좁아졌어요.
