Your $211 TIG Solution: YesWelder 205P Pro for Ultimate RC Welding

[@Daniel-uf1xx]

I owned 3 yeswelder and the last recent one I bought has the button to turn on while using Tig. Hands down, good as* machine. I tried the 120v miller Tig and I felt that the yeswelder is up there with the miller. But I do independently run a 20amp breaker for the 120v yeswelder.

[@MadLadsAnonymous]

What gas do you run for TIG?

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

​@@MadLadsAnonymous Tig welding is done only with 100% argon.

[@jackdolezal9742]

I got one for stainless exhaust pipe and it works really well, the only thing I recommend is to get a knockoff wp17 torch because its way slimmer and also a foot pedal

[@bazzani21]

I just got mine yesterday! I will be using it this week

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

This thing is going to do everything most people need. I would be perfectly fine with this as my machine.

[@marcusmanley2986]

Finally talked myself into getting this for the moon buggy and it’s sold out! Everyone from here must be buying! 😂

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Hopefully they get more soon because I’m so happy with this machine! I swapped the torch for a $12 torch and am using the foot pedal now, and it feels just as good as any machine I own.

[@marcusmanley2986]

@@HarleyDesignsInc there’s some on eBay but not as cheap as direct with your discount. May just get one there. I’d be interested in seeing which torch you went with.

[@victorslater9931]

I never watch your videos 😊, I did order a YesWelder. Now the learning begins. See you at Axialfest West

[@400AGLNET]

This machine can also do aluminum true?

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Just got mine ordered. This will be my first TIG welder and the first time I have used one in over 30 years. Looking forward to more vids on this welder and seeing other projects you have planned.

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve got the 200 amp version that’s rebranded. They’re great welders. My brother got rid of his Lincoln mig he’s had for 25 years for a new yes welder mig this year. They make a great product.

[@tiny_truck_addict]

Thanks! You’ve convinced me to learn a new skill. I was worried I wouldn’t be able to weld it myself but that doesn’t look to bad.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It's like soldering, but faster! The only hard part is keeping your tungsten out of the material.

[@ricgruber9185]

Where grounding clamp being positioned on your table?

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

Do you braze all of the chassis for the RC cars? If so why not just TIG welding instead of brazing two different kind of fuses. I personally have a Primeweld Tig 225x w/Maxcool watercooler CK worldwide wp20 torch. I do a lot of different things with tig welding and like to challenge myself titanium was the most challenging thing to do making turbo tubes for people the patience needed is crucial.

[@flintTC]

Very cool. I’ve always been curious to learn how to rig welding for custom RC but was always put off by the expense of buying the equipment. This is at a much more affordable price point that I might finally jump in. I’m going to wait to see the series you are going to start to make sure I’m comfortable and confident enough that I can do it. Thanks for the continued educational content you provide.

[@thinfrog1]

Great Video. I like seeing the settings for smaller scale. I use a HF 205 and it does well. Not as inexpensive as this. Tig burns a lot of gas with pre flow and post flow. I have upgraded my bottle twice. I wish I would have just gone big in the beginning...

[@skinanbonesOG]

I went thru the link to see what the shipping to Canada would cost and to my surprise they are offering free shipping here as well it appears. with tax and conversion this welder is just over the $320 to Ontario Canada

[@makingtolearn]

Nice review on this machine! I've been really curious about it for my home shop. What size breaker does it require on 110V?

[@LouHemi]

Is it good for pipe welding practices?

[@Cranklotus]

should we get the twt 200DC on sale for $480 if starting out and have welded stick before for large projects? Wouldnt mind being able to run aluminum also. Thoughts on the twt 200DC? Thanks Josh!

[@Yourfriendwasmagnificent]

Another thing to mention is cleanliness. Remember to clean the area you're about to weld and the filler rods too.

[@RandallRCTherapy]

Thank you for your advice on this TIG welder.

[@rcaddict4375]

Check out the vintage luggage in the back. I wonder if Josh uses a steamer trunk when he travels as well.

[@MrOldclunker]

I bought a yes welder 4 in 1 and it sat for a couple of years during covid. It had never been used when i purchased it and had never been out of the box. Once I put it all together and turned it on, it all worked. We spooled the wire through the cable and the gun and turned it off. After the got the metal ready to weld and turned it on the MIG part never would work. Of course the warranty was out even though it was brand new and customer service sucked with no help not any suggestions. What could be wrong. There is no reset buttons that I could find and we never have welded with it. I'd like to salvage it and I am not sending it back to Yes Welder as that will just cost me another $150 to send to them and get it back and that does not include their tech fees and repairs. The panel shows no voltage and will not respond to any settings. Any suggestion folks!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Open the case and see if the ribbon cable became disconnected during shipping. I’ve seen a similar problem with a 205.

[@leofrac435]

Would this welder work for welding stainless automotive exhaust like 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inch stainless pipe

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yes it will.

[@joshuagregg7579]

Well, I guess I have no excuses left for messing around with metal fab for my builds now!😊

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Agreed, no excuses!

[@RIdeWerksInc]

Man what a great option for a tig... I could see me using this for sheet metal work on full size.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Most definitely, or even heavier stuff if you wanted to put the MIG away for a min!

[@bazzani21]

Have you tried to actually tig weld that tubing? My boss is a great welder and he's trying to convince me to just tig the cage

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yes I have done the traditional TIG welding method with standard TIG filler many times. It's the only method I used up until 2018-19 I believe. But after I started TIG brazing instead, I have found absolutely zero reason to go back to that. If there was any benefit to using the standard filler instead of silicon bronze, then I'd go back. The strength of the joints is a non-issue and that's the only area where it could offer a better result.

[@powcar91]

I tried the Vevor tig welder. Need to get back on it

[@hotboyracing]

Thank you for doing the video and getting us a discount on it. I was skeptical about yes welders but the price was so cheap It had me wondering but you showed me it’d work which one would you Recommend more this or the mid range tig

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I've been using the 205 all day now, and have to say it really does everything most people would need. I would say it's a great choice.

[@alans4281]

Interesting to watch . It’s faster to start than brazing with gas but I am not convinced it’s something I need just yet as I am still learning brazing. I am interested to watch the next build when you have had a chance to familiarise yourself with the new unit. Probably a bit unfair to judge to much on the first two joints? Out of curiosity in the next video can you give a comparison in cost between those rods and the silver brazing rods. Stay safe.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

The silicon bronze is about 15-16 times cheaper than silver solder. It’s such wild difference.

[@joechurch5946]

so is this basically the same as brazing with map gas? or is there more of a learning curve?

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It's a similar principal, but it's much faster, more forgiving, and the consumables are so much cheaper!

Please check out the TOOLIOM 135A Stick/Lift TIG Welder, it’s $100 and there was a KZbinr that put it thru its paces and said it’s really good, just doesn’t have a foot pedal,

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yeah if you go lift TIG you can get much cheaper. But for me, HF start is a must have.

@@HarleyDesignsInc I recently started building, using mig so I’m sure anything is better

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

@@oriongamingtv1401 my first welder was a MIG, then a lift TIG. But for the small amount extra, you’ll save yourself money in tungsten and argon with the solenoid control. You’ll save the extra money in 1-2 chassis.

Have you tried the foot pedal? I have the Yeswelder TIG-200P ACDC PRO and got a foot pedal from them a couple days ago and I'm very disappointed, the pedal is pretty much useless in low amps.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yes, I'm running the foot pedal now. It has worked well for me in low amperage (35amp max on the pedal). Comparing to my more expensive welder with pedal, it seems very similar. May you have a defective pedal.

Does this machine TIG weld aluminum, and have you tried that yourself?

This is a DC only machine, so it will not do aluminum.

Do you have too use that torch or can you use your own setup? Does it have scratch start?

You can change the torch. I went to a foot pedal and new torch head. I believe it does have lift start but not sure why you’d want to use that over HF.

@@jonlaw3642 as long as your old torch is the same thread size it would work, but if you were doing boiler work, I bet it’s larger than this. I think you’d love HF start though. It will keep your tungsten sharp and uncontaminated so much longer.

what about dissimilar metal corrosion with using diffent filler??

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

That’s not an issue with silicon bronze. This material bonds properly and is also used when you’re trying to attach two different materials together such as welding stainless to carbon steel, or steel to cast iron.
