Whenever I see a machine branded as multi process I always kind of wince a little bit. It's good to see that this machine delivers on its promises. Good review thank you for posting.
You are a terrific educator; thanks for this presentation. I wish I was younger, I’d invest in a welding system and begin fabrication of several projects. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle spring weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
I noticed when you changed from Aluminium to Stainless you had been using the V groove rollers for Aluminium. You need to use the U groove rollers for Aluminium. Keep up the great content.
Thanks for the review. I have been waiting for someone to review this machine. Early last year I purchased the Bossweld 250 amp Pulse welder. I can’t say I am over the moon with this machine. It is a pig to get running right and as far as the dual pulse side of it just doesn’t seem to work I can get it to pulse but it’s no different to the straight pulse mode. I have phoned DynaWeld in Melbourne who are the company behind BossWeld to ask them questions and their expert knows nothing. If the UniMig was available 12 months ago I would have purchased it.
I bought the Unimig 5mth ago and it also has not been as simple as portrayed. The aluminium syn setting just could match up for me. Call Unimig and the tech helped input some extra settings to get satisfactory. Today tried stainless same thing, just wouldn't weld on preset settings. Seems it will need adjusting too, not set and away you go.
Glad I found this, I decided to buy one for teaching at the Woodcraft Guild of the ACT (which for an organisation of >500, has quite a few members who wish to learn to weld, with a very broad spectrum of interests). I will be interested to see how the machine copes with beginners. Up till now I have been using a $90 yes welder for teaching MMA(stick), and an ebay special for MIG. I'd be interested to see how the machine does on carbon steel using the double pulse functionality. Also, in the middle of the video at 5:10 there is a 2nd alloy welding cart, which looks interesting. I wouldn't mind a better look at that in a future vid.
I hope you are doing real good on your new entrepreneur ventures... I guess as all entrepreneurs you have no more time for vids and I see your website is mostly out of stock. Hope working on other peoples projects don't stray you from passion, your videos are still awesome to watch and I do miss your occasionnal uploads ! Have fun and , good vibes to all the little beautiful family !
Hi Daniel, yeah I'm pretty busy, it's all working out well. Hoping things will settle down soon and I can get back to regular content. Just have some big projects with deadlines that have to take priority. 🙂
Off the top of my head I can't tell you but the synergic settings we're pretty good I basically just selected the correct parameters and material thickness and started welding.
For my needs I would go with the Tig welder as it is a lighter and more portable machine. If I did a lot of aluminum work, The pulse mig would be a no-brainer. Particularly for aluminum repairs. It comes down to what you're doing and where you're doing it. The mig needs a good 15 amp power supply particularly when welding on aluminum. But being a MIG welder the learning curve isn't so steep compared to TIG.
Hay go see TNT 1730 Rob- he had a vortex you may be able to use in a rocket heater. Then I can build one haha Hope this helps in future video- get on with more haha thanks
Great review and good timing as I am thinking of purchasing one or go for the unimig RAZOR MULTI 230 AC/DC MIG/TIG/STICK Welder or go for pulse mig and a ac/dc tig ?. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, would be used for playing around with motorcycles, cars, trailers, etc.
Sorry for the lateness of this reply. That was aluminum that I was welding. I had to play with the settings a little bit to get those results but I believe I was using the double pulse mig setting.
@@LittleAussieRockets Hey thanks for replying, the box tubing must have been SS with the tig as I rang the rep and they said the machine won’t weld ali tig but that’s all good I love the machine anyway. The 4:1 wasn’t out when I bought that one so bit of a shame. Have a good weekend one.
Outside corner joints don't need as much amperage so set the machine lower than what you think and hold a nice tight arc. And make sure you're fit up is really good. Don't have any gaps larger than a sheet of paper if you can help it.
Would be good to see a review on the RAZOR MULTI 230 AC/DC, which is a Tig welder with Mig added on (it has even more TIG features than the Razor 200 AC/DC), whereas The Razorweld 200 Mig appears to be mainly a Mig welder with Tig and stick capability.
Any chance of doing a video on tig settings for ali using your razor 200? I have one and am just struggling to understand how to adjust it properly and there are so many different things you can adjust. Plus knowing when to pulse and when not to depending on metal thickness. Cheers Tim
Ok I've got this welder. Things got a QR gas connector. The t2 tig torch is sold with a 3/8" hose thread fitting. My question is what am i looking for in a tig torch to be 100% compatible with this welder?
I am looking at purchasing the Unimig Razor 200 or Razor 230 . I am in Canada 🇨🇦 & know these machines run on 240 volt -50 hertz . So was wondering if I could buy / use the appropriate plug adapter to run on 240 volt -60 hertz ?
i bought one of these and im really struggling to get it to operate correctly. im welding 2.5mm plate in a tee join and when i set the machine to 2.5mm it just blows straight through the material. i have to dial it down to 1,8mm to get it to stop and even then i have to be careful when torch angle or im just going stright through again. any tips on how to dial this machine in for someone new to ali mig pulse welding? also i notice because the machine is synergic it will change the amps and wire speed as it sees fit. i think this might be part of the problem where i set it up for 2mm plate (80 amps or around there) and if i glance at the machine it seems to jump up around 150a while welding. wtf. i just want to be able to use the machine i paid $2500 for and im unable to find any info online. all the pro boat builders just say "buy a fronuis machine" not helpful.
Mate I'm a professional boat builder as well.. We use EWM welders instead of Fronius, but they're absolutely incredible machines as well... Point being, I just bought one of these unimigs a couple of months back and it's still to this day doing my head in trying to dial it in.
@@Tazznbk interesting. a bit of an update. i rang unimig and credit to them they told me to bring my machine down to the warehouse and they can take a look. we fired it up and straight away the guy notices i had the wire size wrong. 1mm instead of 1.2mm. ( there was no markings on the ali spool that came with the machine so i guess i guessed) but that wasnt the issue. we did some welding and the machine was running really well. i said thanks and figured that we had found the issue and headed on home. when home i was back to the same old problems. so i investigated further and turns out i was sent a faulty gas reg. i noticed while i was welding pressure would drop off to nothing randomly. they sent me a new one all fixed. they send it had been a bit of a known issue with faulty regs and apologised for the inconvenience,
@@Tazznbk but ti worth saying also, when i was there they connected to my welder with wifi. they instantly were abole to see every single weld i had made from the first time i had turned it on. time of day, duration of weld, wire speed, amps, amount of wire used EVERYTHING!. i was a little freaked out. but what they said was it is so they can log into your machine while they have you on the phone and change your settings while you operate the machine. essentially you could face time them and all you have to do is pull the trigger and they will fault find the machine while you run practice beads. pretty clever.
@@freelectron2029 might have to give them a buzz then mate. I had no idea about those capabilities haha. Any chance of us mortals getting access to that data? It would be sweet to have 👍🏼
Just purchased one of these but very disappointed because on the box it says Mig/Tig/Arc but when you unbox it there’s NO bloody Tig hand piece so back to the store and another $400 to order one, what a pain in the arse.
@@Viralclown yeah your right, but if you just go by what’s on the box and they don’t actually tell you it doesn’t come with the Tig Torch. I suppose it’s like buying a car, it may be able to tow but doesn’t come with a tow bar.
@@guttasnipe4702 what do you think of it? Not having AC tig is a almost deal breaker. Be better if it was a just a mig and cheaper and then buy a decent tig I think
Whenever I see a machine branded as multi process I always kind of wince a little bit. It's good to see that this machine delivers on its promises. Good review thank you for posting.
Nice review. These welders are sold as Xcel-Arc in NZ. Hard to find videos for them when they are sold under different names.
Nothing like using your new tool to make an addition to your new tool !!
Great work and description of the MIG in action👍🏻 🙏🏻. Thank you
You are a terrific educator; thanks for this presentation. I wish I was younger, I’d invest in a welding system and begin fabrication of several projects. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle spring weather and restful evenings. Peace brother
Not sure what your situation is but if you are physically and financially able to I would still give it a go! Never too old!
What a joy to hear an Australian accent on a welding vid
You should sell the plans for that welding cart on your store. Couldnt find anything similar anywhere else...
I just bought one. Thanks for the tutorial. Helped with setup.
I noticed when you changed from Aluminium to Stainless you had been using the V groove rollers for Aluminium. You need to use the U groove rollers for Aluminium. Keep up the great content.
So whats the v groove for?
@@blurtmenow anything else but the aluminium

Thanks for the review. I will be interested in seeing some more projects built with this welder.
I couldn’t find any info in the manual about the steel rod is that for steel/stainless steel gas/gassless welding?
I was hoping this was another Aldi's find. Still haven't seen any good welding equipment at my local one, but I keep checking.
7:11 I’m going to go with “guide rod”
Sounds good if nothing else!

Nice Machine with a high Quality Torch and it will save Time!
love the welding trolley! do you sell them? i hate my trolley :'D
Might you have plans for the cart you built?
Nic vid just got one do you think you could share your setting set up you used for that trolley you made.
How about some gas less wire welding . The end is off my workshop and to windy for normal mig !! Great video . Again
Have you used the tig on aluminium?
It's a DC machine so you can only MIG weld aluminium. You need AC for aluminium TIG.
Interested to hear your thoughts after a few months of using this
Also settings for aluminum you have found best and the best tig torch for the unit
This day I did actually come here for a welding cart hahaha. Where can I find this one to make? It’s great!
What are ur settings for that aluminum
Off the top of my head I can't tell you but the synergic settings we're pretty good I basically just selected the correct parameters and material thickness and started welding.
So with everything said and done, what would you choose and why?
Unimig with ac/dc hf tig, or double pulse mig?
For my needs I would go with the Tig welder as it is a lighter and more portable machine.
If I did a lot of aluminum work, The pulse mig would be a no-brainer. Particularly for aluminum repairs.
It comes down to what you're doing and where you're doing it. The mig needs a good 15 amp power supply particularly when welding on aluminum. But being a MIG welder the learning curve isn't so steep compared to TIG.
Great presentation 😊
This is the proof. We are living in the future.

Great review and good timing as I am thinking of purchasing one or go for the unimig RAZOR MULTI 230 AC/DC MIG/TIG/STICK Welder or go for pulse mig and a ac/dc tig ?. Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated, would be used for playing around with motorcycles, cars, trailers, etc.
I haven't used the other machine so I can't give you an accurate comparison.
From the unimig TH-cam video it said that it can run on 15amp or 10amp. But still has a 15amp power plug.
Different machine that is referring to the Razor 230 AC/DC
Do you need push pull or spool gun for alloy mig ??
Nope, it's ready to go as is.
@@LittleAussieRockets that's awesome cheers mate
that`s Jasic welder 😂😂
Hi, amazing review thanx. Can you let me know if this welder has dial single pulse when doing mig aluminium please ?
Do you know what the maximum aluminium thickness that can be fillet welded with this machine? Will it do 6mm?
6 mm would be fine. Most of the synergic weld settings on this machine are quite hot for what they are, I'm always turning them back a bit.
@@LittleAussieRockets thanks for the reply. Thinking of picking up a machine this week. Cheers
hi . here in ireland it looks like you have jasic evolve( still not out for sale ) , icloud based welder . costing 2500€ . or am i wrong ?
That could be right, it's hard to know not having used the other machine.
Got the same welder, looks like you were welding Ali tig on that box tube?? Or was it stainless?
Sorry for the lateness of this reply. That was aluminum that I was welding. I had to play with the settings a little bit to get those results but I believe I was using the double pulse mig setting.
@@LittleAussieRockets Hey thanks for replying, the box tubing must have been SS with the tig as I rang the rep and they said the machine won’t weld ali tig but that’s all good I love the machine anyway. The 4:1 wasn’t out when I bought that one so bit of a shame. Have a good weekend one.
Any tips to run a out side corner aluminium weld?
Outside corner joints don't need as much amperage so set the machine lower than what you think and hold a nice tight arc.
And make sure you're fit up is really good. Don't have any gaps larger than a sheet of paper if you can help it.

Is unimig available in the UK and for how much. By the way beautiful work. All the best to all
May be called Jasic there.

I am looking at purchasing the Unimig Razor 200 or Razor 230 .
I am in Canada 🇨🇦 & know these machines run on 240 volt -50 hertz .
So was wondering if I could buy / use the appropriate plug adapter to run on 240 volt -60 hertz ?
I'm not an electrician so I can't really answer that question.
Price ?
