@@chris_b_liven I'm sorry, I'm getting at my wits end with this Esab model I've had for a few yrs. But- I can't decide which one model 2700 or 2200. The various gun liners that fronius sells with these to 0.035, 0.045 etc. Is there a separate linear that I have to swap out/purchase between aluminum and mild steel set up, is there one linear that works for both between feeding 0.30 to 0.045 and whichever alloy ? Thank you for your time
George Hindley I suggest ordering the 1/16 liner, .052 tips and .045 drive wheels and weld with 3/64 aluminum wire. You can weld all the way down to .060 plate thickness. Then swap the liner each time you want to weld aluminum as it will eliminate cross contamination
Good job Chris on the demo of a GREAT machine. The technology in the new welding machines is amazing. They are a long way from the old 350lb transformer stick only machines. Back in the day they were state of the art.
Thank you for your videos, they are excellent. This is an excellent mig machine, top tear, with the TIG and especially the stick functions looking like an afterthought to me.
Just got mine today. Thanks to the guys at GTW welding supplies. Haven’t used it yet. If I didn’t have to work tomorrow I’d be out there all night having fun! Thanks Chris for this video. Very helpful
Got the TS2000, questions: 1) Why is there no Synergic mode for 0.8mm flux core? 2) Why does Aluminium start at 1mm, and if you have 0.8mm wire, can you still use it?
Hey Chris, thanks for the Fronius videos! I have looked through the manual and cant seem to figure out how to change the wire feed speed from metric to SAE, how did you change it? mine is metric
Hey. The 2700 should be a big enough machine for truck repair. What is the maximum wire size you will use? There is a promotion running where you receive a free secondary MIG lead with purchase. Shoot me an email and I can help with directing you to the closest dealer - Bliven.Christopher@fronius.com
I have the magic wave 230 and love it. Thinking about getting this to upgrade my esab fabricator 252i. What CANT this do that the comparable MiG only miller and Lincoln’s (powermig and millermatic) can do? Anything? Why would anybody not get this?!
@@chris_b_liven I feel that. It just feels borderline goofy to buy a multi process machine strictly for the MiG. I wish they made a MiG only equivalent that was cheaper because I already have a way better tig and will never use this for tig. My only other wish is that this could go way lower amps on 115 volt power like the magic wave can.
Ernest Jean great to hear. If you end up getting a unit or if you have questions on where to purchase shoot me an email at Bliven.christopher@fronius.com - I’ll get you hooked up with a swag bag for your purchase
I have a quick question, When you were adjusting your settings at the 7:57ish mark how were you able to adjust it in that manner. I've tried numerous times to make the settings on my TransSteel 2700 and my machine will not allow me to make the adjustments your making. If I adjust the voltage the wire feed speed changes, Like I cant seem to change any individual setting while in synergic mode like you are here. Thank You
Chris the thing with spray is if you going to do it then you have to do it correctly otherwise its almost pointless at times.. The fact that you getting spatter indicates that you are not actually in a spray because of your gas mix.. you need a narrow penetrating arc for spray to work correctly.. theres two arcs in spray believe it or not.. one fans out and super heats the surround base material.. the 2nd is the one with the punch and that punches right into the root of the parts you welding.. hence the good penetration.. you may well do get decent penetration of what you doing now but its wont be anywhere near as good as it could be. Spray is a hiss with a very slight crackle to it but you should be getting no spatter at all and spray is always done in a push due to how the arc behaves.. hope this helps from your fellow fronius user..
@@chris_b_liven I don't use a dedicated gas for spray my self.. i use a 83/15/02 mix as it works on almost anything.. i just have to up the voltage higher than normal to exceed the transition phase for a true spray.. luckily that is easily done as i can go upto 45v on my 3500c
@@chris_b_liven Best way to get 3 phase is just hooking up a 20kva avr generator tbh Dont do what some people do and use rotary phase converters because they kill welders in the long run etc But yeah i got fed up with single phase welding a while back.. far too limited for the large jobs
I have the same machine running on a single phase power supply but i don't know why im limited to 155 material thickness on the board Mig Synergic mode what am i doing wrong ?
Which type of wire and diameter? There is a background setting where you can set your fuse size. Make sure it’s turned to max or off to open up the machine amperage
What is the liner size you recommend for using mig for aluminum 1/16, now is that the same as [ Fronius Mig Gun Steel Liner C 1.6 - 40, 0002, 0055, 005]? Can you please send a link or a description how to set this 2700 up for Mig Aluminum

Phillip Chambers I’ll start a new trend of 2700 videos. No pulse capabilities. It runs so well without that you would think it does. Thanks for watching Phillip
I have a pulse machine Phillip and believe me, they're not all what they're cracked up to be. We've all gotten 2nd degree burns from pulsing, my son spent almost 2 weeks hibernating in his room from flash burn (his helmet on 10 darkness). My machinist looked like cooked bacon and it ruined my welding table pulsing black bubble streaks through the cracks of everything we welded. It welds great in synergistic mode, but if I were you, I'd steer clear from anything pulse for now. And yes, I had the correct gas, we mix our own here.
