I have the same welder and want to set it up to try tig, if I was to get a torch with the right dinse size and a gas line. Is the power block necessary?

Those welds look kinda cold to me.

What if your welding 1/4" to 1/8"? Do you set machine for the 1/4" or 1/8"?

What rod do you feel is the most versatile for this welder operating on 120volt?

I teach welding and so far this is the best budget welder for price ive used. Most cant run 6010 or 11 on 120v. The 225 i bought welded it flawlessly 1/8 6011 maxed on 120v ran like a big welder. Unbelievable that it can do this while drawing 15a sustained on 120v. Efficency must be far above 90% Edit* Did the math. Mathmatically if their numbers displayed are correct, than this welder would be 97% efficent. Which is abnormally high. But i may confirm later with meters.. may be closer to 95% still amazing

Ma come mai la tiri la saldatura?

I just bought one. Haven't tried it yet. I need one ever now and then. 😅uh

terrible camera, great show and tell, thank you.

Your welds are incredible! I just picked up this little rig to learn with. My physics and chemistry backgrounds really kicked into drive as I was laying down the best weld in history on my first day (that is a joke, please laugh) and I thought to myself: wow, if only TIG/MIG wasn't out of sight in terms of price. Conceptually, I was running through how the whole process works and just thinking... I wonder if this little gizmo can do TIG/MIG with some very minor "modifications" and I bet it that it could, and it sure does! Very impressive! This is invaluable information for somebody just getting into the craft, I can't thank you enough! Your channel is an amazing find!

Genius! Please make more content when you can!

You got some nice welds there.👍👍

This is the exact kind of video I've been searching for. I bought that welder and i wanted to see what it can do. Now that i know...i need to start practicing! Thank you!

Couldn't you just usea big battery charger for the power source

you think this sort of tig welding will be suitable with the smaller AC/DC buzzboxes? The strongest in amps available on the market is Forney rated at 235/185 and to be honest that 185 amp DC output is questionable, I think the Italians are bullshitting us

Thank you for clearing up a few things for me. I never realized that the arc length was controlled by voltage when in short circuit mode. As I understood it worked for spray transfer as by increasing the voltage the arc length increased because more of the wire was burned off by the higher voltage . Also burn back was a big problem with increased voltage.

Does this welder have the strike to start option without using the pedal?

Yeah this information is not correct!

The video had no sound on my computor, What tig torch was that and where do I get one?

Thanks man, I appreciate am a beginner in welding, I really learnt alot from this and I wish you would do more videos on welders blueprint, Thanks

Thanks for the explanation, now it makes sence

Nice! Soundtrack is like Hee Haw meets Dukes of Hazzard!!

But with solid wire, the weld Nn must be pushed???

I can't get mine to work right. I got it maxed out at 225 amps on the 240 setting and it doesnt hardly wanna burn a 3/32 7018 rod

Not perfect

Not perfect

I just got one of these at harbor freight to teach my boys to weld around the farm I paid 279.00

Just picked one up for $180! Never welded before but figured at that price this should be a good learning machine.

Damn dude, this is great, you make it look so easy. My butt joints are getting decent for tig, but I'm really struggling with fillets

I have the blue demon E7014 5/64 nice easy start diy home/farm light duty repair rod🧑‍🏭

what happened to your head.........cheers from Florida, Paul

Is the blueprint full scale?

Awsome video I’ve really been struggling on my 3 pass fillet welds. Now I can hopefully use this technique. Thanks heaps Great video 🤙🏼

I build smokers 1/4 and 3/16 plate how is the duty cycle if you run 1/8 6010 and 1/8 7018 on 240

Thank you for this video!

Very informative video I have the same machine trying to teach my self, I need all the help I can get, I don't have a 240 to run it on i have to run on 110 I can't get the 1/8 inch rods to weld at all they just arc for second but that's it

So does this conversion allows me to weld thinner steel ?say around 2mm

This will work on any DC welding machine. Been welding pipe like this for 30+ years.

Looks great, so does the ArcCaptain tig and stick , aeems like a few good welders and good prices lately. The HF titsnium was good on output according to Farms youtube channel.

That was great now can you go to the ac side of the welder and tig weld Aluminium thanks

Does it actually penetrate 3/16 steel. For structural build.

Hi, thank you for the video. I had one question though, that is, why does the Aspect 230 AC/DC power cord have a female plug?

Does anyone know what generator i need to run this on the 240v settings? I used the 120v at max amperage and it was hardly able to weld a thing hinge on a metals door from an apartment complex front gate. It felt like i needed 80-90amps at least but i managed to "get it done"

BD makes the best flux core wire I've ever used. It also works great when used with gas in a dual shield weld.

Very well photographed and of course executed! Subscribed. Deserves more views.

So I could just plug my tig rig straight in the negative? I have the power/gas hose combo on my tig torch so need for the power connector

Good review. Thanks

Man thank you for this it's a big help might be the only comment but your a help in someone's life thank you man just wished you had more of these videos Even though you don't have much views you'll still reaching out godbles brother

Can you help welding invetor deep explained

Great

Well explained, sir!
