The first time I ever saw a plasma cutter used was back in the 1990's. They are still amazing to watch.

[@74willy81]

Just a few quick comments and observations that may help you as you gain experience. While there is no magic figure for shielding gas flow and volume, since each individual scenario has it own unique requirements. However for most general purpose mig and tig welding you can't be too far out using about 15-20 CFH of gas coverage. We do not want to waste gas but on critical welds you want to err on the side of caution. Sometimes less is ok, sometimes way more. You've got a good head on your shoulders, you'll figure it out soon enough. Also not sure if this machine allows manual override of the parameters but it's always best to stay close to the recommended 1AMP/.001 metal thickness rule, this applies to all of the processes of fusion welding. Another good habit to get into is to always weld clean shiny metal whenever possible. The welds will be of much better quality when rust, paint, and mill scale is not included into the filler metal deposited. This is a very strict requirement of code welding practice for good reason. Plus your welds will have a much nicer appearance. This last point of welding only clean shiny metal is an absolute must for the tig process. Have fun Donny learning some new skills, I'm sure that time of year of being busier than a one armed wallpaper hanger is just around the corner.

[@stuartpulvermacher6861]

Thats a really great machine for the novice welder who doesnt weld for a living I would buy it in a heartbeat Im kinda partial to stick first then mig great video God bless

[@busancun]

For thick gauge metal, you need higher amperage/voltage/slower gun moving to achieve the right penetration.

[@Kaptain_001]

You have an excellent speaking voice, very easy to follow and understand, thank you.

[@kellyfreeman6275]

Great review. I am sure this machine will appeal to quite a few. I am always leary of multifunctional machines. I always flashback to yard/garage sales when I was a kid. It seemed like every one had a TV, radio, record player console. With one or more functions not working. Also if this machine has to go in for repairs. You lose the ability, to do anything.

[@mikefisc9989]

Excellent review Dony. This seems like a very nice all in one machine. This would easily accommodate all my welding and cutting needs as a diy'er for a very reasonable price.

[@cornbinder]

I like this new part (review) of the channel. Expanding my knowlege

[@ssimderwelders]

Thank you for your video of Upgraded SD-4050 Pro.

[@jimyeske8498]

Great video! Sounds like a great option for someone just starting out that hasn’t invested in other equipment previously. Plus, hopefully it’s reliable and would be problem free for several years. Thanks for the demonstration!

[@jayyambrovich3740]

Great review Don, thank you. I have a multi-process welder (MIG, stick, lift-TIG) and a separate plasma cutting machine (must be in contact with the metal to begin cutting). I have been toying with the idea of getting a better multi-process machine and this video convinced me to give this one a try, Just ordered it, delivery to my home in Portugal in a week. Package included spool gun (for MIG welding aluminum), foot pedal (for TIG), helmet, some consumables, a carrying pouch and all for just over €1000. I should be able to recover at least half of that by selling my two current machines so I feel that this is an affordable upgrade to what I have now. Thanks for your review video and keep up the great content.

[@donyboy73]

Good buy! It's a great machine for the price.

[@aarondodge1913]

This is great for shops with limited space. I'm sure we will see more and more machines like this. this is cool!

[@100vg]

Looks like a very nice combo machine and the price is great for everything you get, but it's more than I can spend. I'm sure you'll be using yours for years, hopefully decades, to come. I hope it last to become a great hand-me-down to your kids when you get older.

[@southbayproducts5371]

This was awesome I will get mine up and running today gas in hands

[@deanmoore420]

Pretty cool welder I have a Lincoln 220 welder plus I have a stick welder and they work pretty good. No complaints but great video.👍

[@bobabbott8370]

Thanks for the video...great job. I do think you may be wrong on what the 4T does as far as pre and post gas.

[@brianbanks3044]

the cutter alone is worth it on the machine...cuts better than most torches without all the bulky tanks and carts and hoses......that was quite the machine Don

[@LA6NPA]

Feels a bit like the Ryobi tool system to me (quality wise). Does the job fairly well, but if you're a pro, you'd probably have a pro unit for each. Me? I don't weld much. Got a cheap inverter that runs up to 120A (dubious), and it makes big fat welds with plenty of penetration. Then again, I've never welded aluminium, and wouldn't even try it with this machine. I've seen my boss welding a hole in an oil pan with a stick welder 30 years ago, but that was a nice, huge ESAB. He's the only guy I've seen weld aluminium with MMA. Yes, the electrodes were aluminium! 😆 That shop had some very weird and cool things! Gotta say, though, maybe due to oil residue, maybe due to how thin the pan was, that weld looked like a goose had had constipation for days and finally gotten to poop. Looked like a pile of shit, but it worked! To this day, I still wonder why he didn't gas weld it or braze it. It was just a small hole and a couple small cracks, and he was only stopping the leak. (The MIG machine never worked while I worked there!) Miss that job!

[@jakeschisler7525]

Looks like it will do it all! I bought a plasma cutter from YES and a stick welder from Arc Captain which I'm waiting my electrician to run 220. I have 3 other lines but not sure if any mice have compromised them since they weren't run in conduit, which i would prefer. I haven't stick welded since I was a sophomore in high school and now 71 years old. Lol !

[@morenothing4u]

Put a clamp meter on it and see if its giving true numbers at min mid and max ranges.

[@liljoeii6091]

Thank you for demonstrate your welder I got one a while ago from Harbor Freight thank you for the video

[@AlongTheRailFans-jt6pv]

Have two unit lots plasma and lincoln 375 with on board air and 100.00 one on last leg for scrapper cutting

[@74willy81]

It all looks very nice when new but what kind of after sales service comes with this unit? You of all people know how much that means. What happens when the magic smoke comes out of a circuit board after two years of very light occasional use? Can it be fixed or do we end up with a very expensive door stop?

[@ssimderwelders]

We provide one year warranty service. If there is any problem with the machine we will provide you with a solution.

[@74willy81]

Thank you for your reply, it does mean to me that you are supportive of your sales and customers. However will I be able to order a part for this machine at a later date if the need arises, say 3 -5 years after my initial purchase?@@ssimderwelders

[@southbayproducts5371]

Hello I have this unit in my garage just setting up great timing Thank you Sir.

[@donyboy73]

It's a great all around machine for the price!

[@robertmunafo5039]

Can you control the plasma cutter function through CNC? In other words if you were to attach the plasma cutter to a CNC table, would The CNC be able to trigger the on-off function of the plasma cutter? Would love to be able attach that to a DIY CNC plasma cutting table that I'm making.

[@JanDreier-HH]

Actually, the conversion of pressure is right there on your gauge. The inner ring in P.S.I.

[@troyweatherford9874]

Wow, looks like a great machine

[@johnashton1737]

Great review. Think would take awhile to use it to it's full capacity. Could be frustrating if other people are messing around with the settings all the time. Great duty cycle for what it is. Thanks Donny.

[@donyboy73]

My thoughts exactly

[@billsmith1770]

it'll weld everything but the crack of dawn ! lol . nice machine .

[@bobabbott8370]

The setting for the S-Arc...what do that do?

[@joesask857]

thank you sir how do you change the wire speed my mig feeds 350 in at 100 amp

[@martindesmarais7158]

How many PSI on your compressor for plasma cutting ??

[@TOWNCARBUBBA87]

nice welder. thanks for sharing brother 👍

[@len4338]

Why not award that wellder to one of your subscribers ?? Of course shipping costs would be paid by the grateful subscriber. Just a suggestion. 😊

[@patrickmcdermott6802]

YEAH!!

[@mikespain8655]

I doubt it is his to give away.

[@CoKanet-no2jt]

Go buy your own machine. Stop being a begger

[@nebiertugrul5095]

Nice machine

[@DHaun-i3g]

3 weeks with a broken simder welder under warrenty and they are not responding back. I'll update if the ever respond but as of no posted my emails about warrenty almost 1000 $ down the drain, come on simder do the right thing😢

[@donyboy73]

Try contacting Richard at siimder, Richard Gao [phone]

[@Davidjb37721]

Thanks for your help

[@rsbharley4766]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing. Cheers

[@famasmaster2000]

Sweet little unit 👍

[@reginabivona1282]

A+ ,VERY USEFULL!

[@codykastler4709]

"Hi" 😂 We're all just little kids at heart

[@donvoll2580]

Hi ! Good day Yes Don that does like a good machine. Thanks

[@JackBlack-qb5wc]

great vid as usual Don, 👌i assume the price in link $USD?

[@donyboy73]

I believe so

[@deanmoore420]

Plus, I forgot to mention I have a Lincoln plasma cutter as well. That’s an awesome machine. It’s 220.👍

[@1osmosiss]

Is this a ac/dc welder? I just bought the previous 4050 pro but I don’t think it’s ac

[@ssimderwelders]

No. It don't support AC/DC TIG.

[@johnsutter1497]

Can this tig weld aluminum?

[@sibosifraiscompagny]

No, it doesn't do AC TIG! But, you can weld aluminum with MIG.

[@roger5638]

Love it....Thats a great lil machine !!!!

[@jasnapon]

Keep the heat up and move fast

[@mjd-m6h]

at 11:52 you put your stick down on the metal table (plus it is grounded) and then you turn on the welder....why did it not start welding on its own?

[@mjd-m6h]

makes sense...ty. @@elcheapo5302

[@donyboy73]

I was showing how you have to enter settings for it to work, just a few seconds after 11:52

[@mjd-m6h]

another fellow answered the question.....it didn't start welding right away because of the flux was preventing direct contact with the metal table.....thanks for all the info i learn alot from you.@@donyboy73

[@drkwlsk]

Nice!!

[@ericcrawford1132]

I'm surprised canada will let you use that many amps

[@patricklucki5368]

You did not show the tig. Is the tig have AC

[@bassmansays9745]

This is a DC ONLY Welder ! They should have Added AC TIG Option to Weld Alum - Then this would be a GREAT WELDER !

[@ahmeterhasan5800]

Türkiye için yolluyormunux

[@canamrider7195]

Hell of a bargain. Amazon sells this with a $200 off coupon. $500 delivered. Buying a dedicated machine for each capability would be far far more costly. I bought used a dedicated 1) Century stick welder 2) A 120V Flux Core welder and 3) A Bestarc 50Amp plasma cutter and I'm right at the $500. Three machines, taking up lots of space, without all the capabilities of this single machine. Fuuuuuuudddddgeee.

[@37yearsofanythingisenough39]

Most parts are not available for it. Made in China.

[@patrickmcdermott6802]

Where's the cigarette lighter?

[@1osmosiss]

Ssimder 4050 Pro......Warning to all,if the machine blows up (in my case) they wont replace it and will stop a communications with you...Jason Yang is their service guy but he'll stop communication with you. Ive sent a video that he asked for of the machine smoking and shutting down and bricked itself 2 1/2 months ago and said they would send a new one to me (SD 4050 Pro) I sked for a tracking number and hasnt bothered to send one to me and has stopped replying to his emails. Fukk Ssimder, im going to find every review,blog and video and welding group and warn everyone! Dont mess with an Aussie we get revenge! I am the squeeky wheel!

[@fixit4182]

What?? No oxy set up?😂

[@nicholasdunbar3378]

I don't think you should be doing welder reviews if you dont know what the information on the screen means 😅
