You should be ashamed of your self sir. This is the best video explanation I have seen. Because of you sir I want this machine 👀. Thank You for taking time for a great presentation.👍✌
Thank you for your comment I really appreciate hearing that but you know after you make a video there's always things that you wish you could have included. If you have any questions at all I'm always available at the support phone number thanks again
Jerry thanks for the kind words, try as I might, I wish I had included a few more details. I'm available anytime anyone has a question at the Weldpro support number. I'll do my best to answer. Thanks again.
Thank you, you know after I made the video there's so many more things I wanted to talk about. We have a great young guy now who's going to be starting some videos we're working together and it's going to be very good he's very knowledgeable. Always remember if you have any questions, that support number in your documentation will come directly to me. 🙂👍
Thank you so much for your kind words. It really isn't my strong suit, but maybe with that vote of confidence I'll give you all a little preview of the new welders to come. Thanks! 👍
I went ahead and bought one of these and when I got it I was shocked to see the ventilation so open on the bottom half. You can see through the welder itself. Thats a place for junk dust and stuff to collect. I haven't welded with it yet but I do have to say I wish that would have been pointed out. Thank you for the instruction and the review. I bought this machine because you said it works flawlessly. Not every company puts it out like weldpro did, very informative.
@@mh-ultralifestyle9303 the most crisp weld I have ever seen. I love it to be honest. I use miller all day and this is by far better than the millers I have used. I'm glad I went with it. I still love miller im just saying it is an awesome lil welder
Thanks guys, I've had quite a few requests by phone to see what I have in my little shop, LOL, but it's so small and so crowded I'm almost embarrassed to make a video, but I'm going to. I think I'll do it at the end of a video with a few more tips for both the MIG welder as well as the TIG welder. That way I can add something informative in the beginning of the video and anyone who wants to stick around and take a peek at my mess can. It always seems that after you do something you realize you leave a few small things out that you wish you spoke about so that folks with these welders would have an even easier time learning the ins and outs.
Thank you, as usual I always seem to miss something, but just contact weldpro support if you have any questions and it'll be me that tries to answer them for you! 🙂👍
I really like how small, compact, and portable this is compared to ahp, primeweld, and eastwood (analog tig). Linlong makes this machine as well as eastwoods tig200 analog ac/dc. The only thing i dont like is the bright yellow color, when i do get one, ill plastidip or peelcoat the case. How good is the foot pedal? Is an upgrade to the ssc foot pedal necessary? Or does it perform the same?
Hi Jeff, I certainly can be honest. Using this machine still brings a smile to my face. I highly recommend it. Buy the version with the CK torch, you won't be sorry. Another pretty good feature of this machine should you buy it, is me. If you call tech support I'll be the guy that answers the phone and helps you through understanding the settings and the usage, and I'm available 7 days a week from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. eastern time. For what it's worth. All kidding aside, it is nice to have someone you can ask specific questions to rather than having to scratch your head for hours trying to figure them out on your own 🙂👍
Let's say it's being used in TIG mode. If the machine is turned off for the welder to take a smoke break, will everything be ready to resume when he switches the power back on, or will he have to press buttons, such as toggle away from MMA to get it back into TIG mode?
I have just bought this machine, first time using it I decided to weld aluminum took a guess at settings and worked very well. I am trying to get my balance and frequency better. Any suggestions on this ? Thanks fir a good video.
Hi, of course you can call me and I can discuss settings in more detail, the support number for weldpro will reach me, but... AC frequency at 110 to 120 in most cases is a good choice. Exceptions perhaps dirty aluminum castings where I would go much lower 40 to 60 hz and very thin aluminum where I might increase it to 180 or so. Now AC balance, very important to use just the amount of reverse polarity needed to clean the oxide. This provides two things, cooler tungsten and torch as well as better penetration. Usually on aluminum that you have prepped properly and cleaned with acetone, AC balance of 30 is just fine.
@@pbi21 there is a short blip at the end of this video but we also have a few with Luke on the TH-cam Weldpro channel. And again, feel free to call me.
Hi Michael this is Joe I am actually the same Joe that is working with weldpro now to help with their technical issues. It would be my great privilege to help you understand the settings and the intricacies that go along with welding aluminum. We can always be reached I'm available 7 days a week to help you. Basically welding aluminum requires a few specific settings one of which would be alternating current at approximately 1 amp per thousand thickness plus 10% when using a foot pedal 6513292686 I'd be happy to spend as much time with you as you would like to understand the settings more completely because it isn't carved in stone it is dependent on many different things. I do look very much forward to speaking with you
@@joewest2560 Hello infamous Joe... smile. I spent some time speaking with Roberto today in regards to the welder. I like many features about the welder, but find it difficult to gather specs and or information about the unit. In my research, I see it's pretty much the same as the Sherman made by Linlong, which is fine and of no concern, but since I'm about to buy a welder, AHP201XD or this one, I could really use some insight. My needs are of middle to high personal use. I like the up slope and down slope through finger trigger as I will be welding in various ackward positions. I will call in hopes that you can help with some of the specifics as Roberto say's you are he man.. gil
Im sorry I didn't reply sooner but yes it is the balance control, and know that some machines set their balance in terms of percentage of DC + and some as a percentage of DC - we set our machines as a percentage of DC +, reverse polarity so when you set the balance on this machine you want to favor 30 to 35%. You would like most of your AC welding done with more duration of straight polarity and just a small percentage done with reverse polarity as the current alternates, enough to clean your work and break the oxide, but not so much dcep to send the heat back up toward your tungsten and torch which is the direction current flows during dcep and can damage your torch.
I was just about to order from amazon but the price went up. It went up in all platforms, amazon, ebay, and website. I really wanted to get it. $798 was pretty good price, now its $837.90, might as well get an everlast after the price increase. I guess i wont be joining the weldpro fam after all.
There are two dinse connectors in the front of the machine, one for the electrode and of course one for your work clamp. Depending on the polarity will depend on which is for what. Usually the electrode will go to the Plus and the work lamp will go to the minus based on the welding rods design and the manufacturers recommendation. Then tap the button to toggle from TIG to MMA (stick) With this machine you can also toggle to AC current for stick welding. Should you be interested, the manual is in PDF form on the Weldpro website.
Not sure where you got that, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Everything is completely adjustable. If you would like, you can contact weldpro support if you have any questions about the settings 1-651-329-2686 👍
You produce a terrific video! You seem to give more complete info than most of the other welding videos that I watch. Thank you.

Just bought this welder and waiting for my bottle in the mail very informative and am very excited to get to use my welder thank you sir
You are welcome! My contact information will be in the packaging, feel free to call me if you have any questions.
Thanks for the video Joe very helpful
Thanks for the video i'm looking at getting one of this welder
Once again Joe West is the best. 👍✌
Good job just bought this machine and this was very helpful
Thank you, so much more I could have touched on but it was getting long. You can always reach me on the support line if you have questions.
I’ve noticed that these people do a review of these machines but I found no people do welding projects on a consistent basis none so that’s a problem!
Good job
thank you
Cool video 😎👍, you generate sales for weldpro!

The SCC pedal is a different profile, wider and parallel to the floor at wide open, which lots of folks like
If you can be honest, would you recommend this machine as my first TIG machine/weld? I have a Miller 211 mig and Lincoln stick welder already.

Question Joe is this better than a yeswelder 250 pro?
can you do pulse in stick mode?
Can you use a pedal for the tig?
Absolutely, I even show the pedal in a still shot toward the end of this video
