The Fronius MIG machines really are amazing; you have steel, ally, & stainless settings, CO2, Argon, or mix settings, & thickness settings. If set-up properly it's REALLY difficult to make a bad weld.
I made the big mistake of demo a Fronius machine at my supplier. That same week I ended then ended up selling all my Miller equipment and purchased both Fronius I-Wave TIG and TPSi MIG machines. Be careful trying them or could end up like me, I think they are that good. On the other hand I found Fronius consumables a bit pricey but they actually do seem to last longer as well so that may be a moot point.
Fun demo to watch! I'am more familiar with watercooled PCs, but yeah, one leaky fitting can ruin your da(y)te! 🤪 If you run a 170A at 22V that's 3740W. I reckon you don't draw that current continously, but there has to be some badass zappy electronics in there, to deliver those peak amps right when they are needed. Here in my neck of the woods, standard outlets are rated 3520W. But that is still less than what that thing delivers.
I use a Fronius trans pocket stick machine mobile. For TIG welding I use Gold tungsten for just about everything also chartreuse is another that will run all metals and modes. I will be trying that next tbh
I have a everlast 221sti. I kick my own ass for not waiting until the upgraded interface came out. I love my welder it does everything I want and more. It was the worlds first ACDC mutiprocess mig tig stick. I had to have that tech then and 7 years ago when I purchased it I paid $2200 and could of now had not only the newer interface but a 250 amp machine for less. But I am very very happy with going everlast and I have had nothing but good things to say to anyone in the market.
I have wanted a Fronius Machine for ever. They have been around for quit a while. they are the best in my book. I here awesome customer service as well.
I had the luck to start learning Tig on a Microtec and this exact Fronius, and while complex and as a begginer i was lost in all the settings, there wasnt any guessing involved, if i set it up right it worked.
If Fronius pricing is in line (cheaper?!) than Miller or others, then I would go with Fronius for sure. They make very nice machines, with all the latest tech and durability. However, a Fronius machine really isn't going to do a whole lot more than something like an Everlast for most things. So if you are not welding every day or if you care about price/performance ratio, Everlast or something like that is the way to go.
The timing on this video is perfect as i am currently in the market for a new 110/230 Tig machine. I will definately be looking into this machine, Thanks.
Tay thanks so much for all of this information and tips and advice. Very helpful video this week. Can’t wait to see more videos and videos and more. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld on. Keep Making. God bless.
Does anyone have a fronius cu600 cooler? I'm building my own cooler for a magicwave 230i and I've already figured out how to turn on the pump and fan but I need a few pictures of the cooler harness to figure out how the flow and temperature sensor and coolant level are connected. Can anyone help me because there are no pictures or diagrams on the internet?
As an owner of multiple fronius machines, I want to see everyone push them because they are amazing machines. However the other half of me doesn’t want everyone to want them because their prices are downright reasonable and I don’t want them to go up!
The more they sale the lower they should get. I would love to demo one. I think this old tony was my very first place to see one used. I am pure in it for a hobby at this point and my little 221sti everlast handles everything I need and then some. I have welded with about all big box store machines at some point. Everlast impressed me for the money.
I've been wanting to upgrade my older Tarmac that's rim break to electronic shifting. If the price is go any lower I think I'm going to pull the trigger
I really loved the fronius pulse mig machines. For Tig welding i am more of a Kemppi mastertig fan. Worked years with that combination for stainless and aluminium. Then again i am from europe so miller machines are pretty much made from unobtanium.
I have inappropriate things to say but im feeling classy this morning and i will keep those things to myself. The one thing i will say though is i appreciate the video and enjoyed it as well. Thanks guys.
Very interesting 170 on a 120 circuit doesn’t seem plausible. But, I’m so glad I didn’t have any money on that, because I would have lost my shorts. Amazing what these welders are doing these days that’s for sure.
I couldn't weld worth a damn with my Millermatic 250. My wife bought me a Fronius 220 & I built so much stuff like I could really weld; I couldn't believe it! My supply lines on the Miller used to get WARM when doing 1/2 aluminum. The Fronius only uses 16.8 amps on 220v. The welder & water cooler only weigh 56#. Had the welder 20 years now & it has never let me down & works like brand new. Still can't weld with other brands, but Fronius makes me a pro.
The thing about TIG welding is there is a whole line TIG welding from just regular carbon steel that any good decent you know TIG welder Prime what do just fine matter of fact a prime welder will do good on stainless and aluminum and all these things where you get into the high dollar ones and everything is when you're an aerospace type welding do you need to have art controls that go all the way down 25 and 8 maybe 12 amps and hold a good Ark on a very thin piece of expensive metal and that's really it is you know I mean everybody don't need a dynasty to do what they do you know if you fabricate on cars and stuff like that you really don't need that I mean unless you just want it, really the only time you really need to hide in ones like I said is when you are dealing with Specialty Metals and you need some real good Precision welding arks holding its shape and it's the whole nine yards you know to bring out you know these 2000s of an inch weld and they're so thin they're like you know it's kind of like buying a Corvette or a Ferrari you don't need it get you from A to B no different than you know a $3000 car you bought out of somebody's front yard even a $1500 car you bought out if somebody's front yard it's just the style and how you get there, that might be a different story when you're calling it that but far as getting from A to B in it, you can get from A to B in both
Another poster said he would keep it classy. I won't after 2 martini's. 12:08. Tay, your tig control is a little premature. ....but I can also understand why.
I just made the switch to Fronius TIG…..I agree the machine is unreal. If this video had covered everything that machine can do it would be two hours long…!! I weld a lot of stainless and Ti tubing so I’m never in the upper ranges of the machine, but it works as long as I want to. Super happy with my decision.
Fronius machines produce a fantastic arc and weld awesome, but the build of the machine is made with typical delicate "wimpy" European style parts. Certainly not as rugged as older USA made machines. It seems like all welding machines are becoming "Chinesium" build quality and durability. Currently, I think welders(really everything) are only built to last to the end of the warranty. Maybe not even that long. And, don't dare ask manufacturers for parts to repair welding machines over 5 years old. It's really sad at the moment, but I have high hopes that our USA based welding equipment manufacturers will get back to building machines that you can pass on to your grandchildren and still be repairable with common parts.

I have known about fronius, they are top tier. The capability of its 110v is incredible. Great video
Got me a Transsteel 2200 when I decided to build my all-aluminum snowmobile trailers...VULCAN AWESOME MACHINE!!!!! Team Fronius Bro!!! Welcome aboard!
Fun demo to watch! I'am more familiar with watercooled PCs, but yeah, one leaky fitting can ruin your da(y)te! 🤪

Most Welders in the USA have not heard of it. In the EU it’s standard sort of or maybe ESAB or Kempi..
Great video !!! Thanks for sharing
Fronius, Kemppi and ESAB are dominating european market. Miller and Lincoln are more catered to USA.
Damn I think I'm in love! The welding machine is pretty nice, too!😉
Enjoyable video, thanks for sharing!

Grubby mitts. Yeah, that seems pretty accurate. :D I enjoyed this video. Made me want a Fronius - even though I have never welded anything.
The timing on this video is perfect as i am currently in the market for a new 110/230 Tig machine. I will definately be looking into this machine, Thanks.

i wouldnt worry about everyone having a fronius.. most people honestly think miller and lincoln are the best lol
The more they sale the lower they should get. I would love to demo one. I think this old tony was my very first place to see one used.

@@jvmiller1995 definitely hard to be the value on everlast welders. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with them!
i noticed the two rollers in the back ground whats your thoughts on them i'm looking to get one. thanks peace
Fronius welder is in the post
I've been wanting to upgrade my older Tarmac that's rim break to electronic shifting. If the price is go any lower I think I'm going to pull the trigger
Cool video , but my curiosity is peaked about what roller bender is behind or in between you and the Fronius girl ?
Love your channel. Really great videos . Just one little question . Why did you name your company Lift Arc? 🤷🏻♂️
I really loved the fronius pulse mig machines.
For Tig welding i am more of a Kemppi mastertig fan.
Worked years with that combination for stainless and aluminium.
Then again i am from europe so miller machines are pretty much made from unobtanium.
Youre not missing out on much, miller and lincoln are overpriced chinese garbage
@@_hector__ there are still alot of Lincoln machines available in Europe.
No experience with the machines only with the electrodes.
I have inappropriate things to say but im feeling classy this morning and i will keep those things to myself. The one thing i will say though is i appreciate the video and enjoyed it as well. Thanks guys.
Tay: “That’s fun!”
The coolant leak could have been so much more inappropriate.
Very nice looks like a great piece of equipment!!!!
My Everlast does aluminum just fine?
Very interesting 170 on a 120 circuit doesn’t seem plausible. But, I’m so glad I didn’t have any money on that, because I would have lost my shorts. Amazing what these welders are doing these days that’s for sure.
We know nobody's watching the Wilder
Didn't hear price point
Fronius is a great machine I wish I could afford one! In my dreams for now. Another good machine is the Kemppi Master Mig 205
dont overlook ewm tetrix
That was informative. She was a jewel with the bath. You were having too much fun!

25:54 Someone walks into the cord a wrecks the unit?
I love watching your videos but if I'm being 💯 then I'll say i watched your video today primarily to watch her.
That 210 will do the same thing if you set it up right
Should try kemppi
Milfroniee's Red Army
i need to rewatch the Video, i totally missed the content...
Another poster said he would keep it classy. I won't after 2 martini's. 12:08. Tay, your tig control is a little premature. ....but I can also understand why.
Yep i hawe the same model but on europen version. And i meking may own watercooler full intigreted in fronius system :D
very proud 😊🇦🇹
So can I book a dinner date with Laine here in the UK lol ??
Nah I don't think so
love it
I just made the switch to Fronius TIG…..I agree the machine is unreal. If this video had covered everything that machine can do it would be two hours long…!!
I weld a lot of stainless and Ti tubing so I’m never in the upper ranges of the machine, but it works as long as I want to. Super happy with my decision.
We did ultimately have about 2 hours worth of footage haha, but we had to cut it down somewhere!
I see how your wanting one like kid in a candy store
I wanted to see her weld
She had that affect on me too.😍😜🤣
What was that liquid that came out? 😂😮🤔
12:07 - thank me later, also, I'm working on something for you
I'd love a Fronius but I need my kidneys and my arms., Especially my shaky golden arm. I'll stick with Everlast. Cause I'm a poor boy.
Miller and Lincoln are garbage compared to Fronius and HTP. I grew up on Big Red and Big Blue. I honestly can't stand their BS pricing anymore.

HTP Invertig 220 will do everything that Fronius can do at half the price. And it looks cooler.
Oh yeah?! But can it even compare to a European made machine…?!
S/ lol yes actually. HTP is made in Italy.
Preferisco la ragazza alla saldatrice... 🤷😍
:D
I really wish you would just shut up on the voice overs and let her talk!
okay!
All I'm seeing is the corporate shill dance...and I love it.
i hate single button welders they just shit me to tears unfortunately in australia we dont dont get half the stuff you guys do in the states
