Man......Thank you! I have a hard time paying for services that I know I can learn to do, within reason (time vs $$$). About 2yrs ago decided that I needed to learn how to stick metal things together. W/zero experience I bought an unopened Titanium 225, helmet, gloves, & $100 worth of rods for $250. Great deal right....except just about everything I wanted stuck together was
Thank you for the awesome comment!!! I love my mig 200 it does all I as of it!! I dont tig much with it because I have the arccaptian ac/dc tig machine , awesome also!!! But the mig 200 does have a good lift arc. Here are a couple of tip for the tig side that may help you. #1 use only 100% argon for tig only.#2 I use the red 3/32 tungsten sharpened to a point.#3 Clean,Clean,Clean even wipe the metal down with acetone. #4 heat, the way I set up heat is 1 amp per thousandth of an inch of material, so 1/8" is .125 so your heat should be 125 amps plus or minus a little. #5 practice alot lol. Hope these help. Let me know if you have anymore questions, God Bless!!!!!!
Personally I went with the reboot 170 dual volt mig welder a couple years ago and I gotta say I’m very happy with it Works good for mig and arc and I tend to use it far more than my ol Lincoln tomb stone unless I’m looking for the heavy stuff
Bro look on their website and they offer the whole upgraded heavy duty twellco or whatever style whip and mig gun for this machine, wow, the thing came in and is ten times better
Pretty good welder for a beginner? Also interested in the prime weld mig 180. Want to get one good enough for different duties but not super expensive. Prime weld seems more reputable company, probably better customer service. Arc capitan seems like a good deal for the price. I dont think prime weld has the synergic mode
Hey dude..Good rewiew👍But stop weaving when you weld and weld straight instead from right to left..That's my experience after 25 years welding as a professional blacksmith 😁Im considering but that Arccaptain in near future
Thank you, that comes from my motorsport fabrication back ground, they want them dime looking welds for some reason. I've been in hot rod restoration for 20 years myself. I play around with blacksmithing but far from a pro. I love all aspects of metal work!!! That arccaptian is a pretty impressive machine, I have the tig and mig machine!!! Thanks for watching!!!!
Greetings sir!! Thank you for the review and also your instructional videos. Very new to welding, but at a point where I want to buy a machine. Looks like you have had this one for some months now, is it still holding up? Is it used frequently or just for videos? Any problems come up? I want to stay away from the majority of the other box store "budget" minded machines. My fear is wasting money, only to have to buy another machine later. God Bless, Curt.
Thank you, yes I still use it to this day, I haven't had any major problems. I use it weekly. I've used it in a ton of videos from sheet metal to 1/4" steel and it handles it. Hope this helps and have a Blessed day!!
Great video. I have a power question; specs on the back say input on 110v is Max 40.7A and 1eff/A 25.7 A. Who the heck has a 50 amp circuit breaker on a 110v circuit? Is this even usable in North America on 110V?
I recently bought the MegaSaver kit which included the TIG gun and the spool gun and some other accessories, under $700. Everyone (almost) in the world uses metric.
I worked in engineering since starting work as an apprentice in 1960 here in the UK, we went metric in the early 1970's at first it was a nightmare as our drawing dimensions went metric but our measuring instruments' were still imperial so lots of conversion table's were needed. However things over time improved as we learned and metric measuring instrument's replaced the old stuff. Having used both imperial and metric systems during my working life the metric system is by far the easiest to use, as you say most of the world use metric? could it be that North America is the last place hanging on to imperial measurement? - having said that most of my favourite Utube contributor's on DIY engineering topics are North America based.
Hi AC I liked the video. These new machines are amazing. When you have a chance can you test the AC MIG 200 on some thin sheet metal and share your experience with it. Hey now I know why you like this machine! AC Designs - AC MIG 200. Only kidding :). Hey have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Haha, that's a fascinating concept. In reality, Adrian truly came through for us. We're immensely thankful for his assistance and also value your support for AC Designs Garage! Happy Thanksgiving too!
Now that you have had the machine for almost 6 months have you seen any long term issues ? I want to make sure that when I spend the money on a machine like this one is going to last at least 5 years or more. Any input would be great. On the fence about buying just for that main reason. How was customer support ?
Thanks for reaching out, so far this thing has welded 22ga sheetmetal with flux core all the way up to 1/4" solid core sheilded steel tubing. This thing has never missed a beat. As for customer support its been great. Ive heard of other people thats had small problems and they sent them a new part. I think there on sale for like 350.00 right now and for the money you cant beat it. I have the tig and mig welder and lkve them both! As for long-term I cant give you a 100% but as for now they do what I as of them.
have you tried welding aluminum with that machine? it has the AlMg program but it doesn't have a pulse, so it's a little strange to me if it can weld aluminum. greetings

Hahaha not sure, sometimes the translation messes stuff up on these off shore machines lol

I love these new multi welders, they save space and money!! I still love my imperial system lol

AC love the videos and have learned a lot from you. Have you tried the titanium unlimited MiG 170 from harbor freight??
Thank yoh very much for watching, I haven't yet but im itching to try one!!!
I think you have your clockwise and counterclockwise backwards boss, lol nice review though
I wouldn't doubt it lol, I get mixed up trying to remember everything lol

Thank you for the feed back. I now just need to make my final decision and go for it.
have you tried welding aluminum with that machine? it has the AlMg program but it doesn't have a pulse, so it's a little strange to me if it can weld aluminum. greetings
I have a spool gun for it to weld aluminum but I haven't tested it out yet, I hope to in the near future!!!
Any suggestions my weld look like a worm sitting on the metal no stack of dimes. Any idea?
What size wire are you using?
