Reviewing The Cheapest Mig Welder on Amazon - Azzuno MIG200A 220v Multiprocess Welder

New dirt cheap welder. I like it.
Get it: amzn.to/3H8qVFg

[@jakemcmahon5291]

I’m a welder at a foundry, for future reference, if what you were welding on aka your table top was metal, you don’t have to ground out the project, just clean a spot on the table top and ground the table out.

[@Shrek0gre84]

I haven't done weld since freshman year in HS and im looking for a machine and im impressed with your review

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

I did the same thing you did for my first tig welder Ibotta multi-process machine and I taught myself how to do lift tig . Now that I have a dedicated machine for TIG welding primeweld tig225x I have my cheap suseme mts 225 for my dedicated MIG welder.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

How are you liking the primeweld tig setup?

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

@@MrJustinWheeler I've had it for 3 years now and not had a problem with it I added the water cooler and a flex-loc torch too best addition to the primeweld tig225x. I been running it hard 5-8 hr a day not one hiccup I've run Millers and Lincoln TIG welder demo units from local welding shops just couldn't find it to spend $2600-$4000 dollars on a TIG welding machine for what I got if it burns up tomorrow it paid for it self 6 times.

[@davidgreenfield934]

as a mechanical engineer, IMHO, nice little welder. More hood time = more better

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks buddy. Couple years and I’ll be dangerous.

[@H.A.B.Outdoors]

I have the same welder. While using wire try dragging and not pushing. Also try using "half moon" technique with the belly away from you. It will come out mint.

[@allynmcfarlin2074]

I ordered one of these last week. Supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Signed up for all of Amazon's BS credit cards and ended up paying $75 for this thing. The extended 3 year warranty cost another $40. Can't wait to try it.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

That’s awesome. You got a great deal. I use mine every weekend. It’s working great.

[@PkwyDrive13]

I have had mine for about 2 months now, it has been a beast. Welds amazing and has worked flawlessly every time all the time. I mig with gas on 110/220 with it. Haven't tried stick or tig yet.. My only gripe is the cheap torch, but I'm just going to order a yeswelder torch to replace it

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Awesome to hear. Agreed, the torch seems like the cheapest component. But very happy overall.

[@PkwyDrive13]

​@@MrJustinWheelerI took the chance and I'm very happy with it.. My friend has a Lincoln and Hobart and he straight up told me he wants one now cause it works better than his name brand welders.

[@LoonyMaxx]

Yeswelder for the win 😂

[@AviationAngler]

Just got mine in the mail and I love it so far still trying to learn the settings but compared to my old harbor freight welder it has way more adjustments and out of the box sounds wayyy better I am gonna pick up argon and mig wire today and try to weld some thin chromoly with it

[@AviationAngler]

@jphart55 all depends on settings and wire or rods and material your welding that being said I'm REALLY impressed with mine it looks awesome and works great I run mine on 110 and I'm gonna get gas so I can run Mig and weld 16 gauge it's an awesome machine

[@sergiocantoli5783]

Very impressive quality for a cheap machine!

[@sonictheflexhog6075]

Connect your ground to positive, and get an inline brass ground for your argon tank/torch lead, hook it up, clamp your stinger stinger to said brass; boom you’re TIG welding. The only thing they didn’t supply you with was the TIG torch which should be on your lead, and the brass adapter, which again is just a good thing to have attached to your lead.

[@skinnytinny9023]

269 dollars? or 213 British pounds. Here in Britain Amazon want 600 pounds or 757 dollars. You guys have it so good. I've just watched Project Farm test welders, the best budget one is from Harbor Freight - not available here either.

Ive watched so many reviews on this welder i want it im gonna get it!

[@derekbryant6137]

If you think of MIG welding like you would stick welding the angles of deposition are the same the advantages you don't have to change electrodes don't be too hard on yourself and you mentioned something about a fixture table building one would give you a lot more practice one and for General reference since you're going to be doing quarter-inch that's what you said you work with the most 20 V is pretty close to the equivalent of 140 amps which is what quarter inch is usually welded at

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Thanks!

[@calebrodriguez3748]

Replies like this are rhe best on KZbin. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge

[@bambambundy6]

I was looking at this welder just for a few projects. SOLD!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

It’s a good little machine. Hope it works well for you.

[@stillfishing4sheep]

Try finding a community college that has a welding class for adults. If they have an instructor that has had professional training or a a journeyman card it will be well worth the cost. I had a class provided by a community college and the instructor was formerly a Ford imployee and union member. He taught how to set the wire speed the gas pressure and on different machines. And then T.I.G. Welding stainless steel and aluminum. 🙂And most importantly will give you tips on how to produce beautiful beads reliably.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Good suggestion. I really would enjoy that. I’m taking an auto body class later this month. Never too late to learn.

[@barrysteele8132]

I'd done a little tig welding years ago and with a medical equipment project coming up, I wanted an adult class to brush up my skills and set up my equipment. They wanted me to sign up for a multi-semester degree class. Instead, I found it much easier to talk to the CC staff, and I paid an adjunct professor to come to my shop for a couple hours. It was worth every penny as I received 1-on-1 instruction and he was able to give me suggestions on my aluminum mig work, as well. There are lots of guys out there who love sharing their skills.

[@rons7571]

Were you running at 110V or 220V?

[@honestcheetah]

Very nice to see a garaged S1 rx8, sir. Still have it in the original engine? •following now

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@honestcheetah thanks for the follow. It does have the original motor, but unfortunately I don’t own it anymore. I sold it to fund some other projects. I do have another s1 rx8 that I’ll start working on one of these days.

[@rafaelberrios6859]

Good video!! You try to weld thin sheet metal 20 or 22 gauge?? You thinks can work good for this sheet metal gauge??

[@cognac8297]

The back of the 120v plug in cord , not the adapter but the cord. Is awg 12 gauge USA grade . That's for a maximum peak power 20 amp.. the mig gun this kit comes with is 30 amps. Meaning eventually the mother board will fry.. you can't put 30amps thru the welding system according to the wire they used. . Your computer board will always be 10 amps to hot overheating and eventually stop working they should have used 10 gage to the board. Thru the 110.cord. but they didn't.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I'll keep yall posted if this one doesn't last.

[@boots7859]

Dude, you are just smart enough to be dangerous. 12AWG is rated for 20A at 120v, or 2400 watts. Its actually allowed to go higher since we're talking maybe 15' length and engineered for safety derating, but real life is "Default 12 gauge wire ability to carry current (also known as wire "Ampacity" - 12 gauge wire Amp rating) depends on the maximum allowed wire surface temperature, and for enclosed 12 gauge solid copper wire, these values are: @60°C/140°F: 20 Amps max. continuously, @75°C/167°F: 25 Amps max. continuously, @90°C/194°F: 30 Amps max. continuously. " Inside the welder the AC has a full bridge rectifier to convert to pulsed DC, with some smoothing caps, and then DC-DC voltage dropped to 14-44 vdc at x amps. So 2400w / 14v means max theoretical amps this welder might supply is 171A, but is probably maxed out at 110. TL;dr, All the main power cord has to do is be sufficient to carry 120 volts at 20 amps, or 2400 watts. Once it gets to the welder, it will have appropriately sized busses and wiring to handle the higher amperage currents. Go on any electronics board and level up before trying to play at being Mr. Engineer.

[@cognac8297]

@@boots7859 can't get 30awg amps thru a 20 amp cord for long . 20amps used 12 gauge. . The cord on the welder is 12 gauge. The mig welding side uses 30amp and uses 10 gauge or 8 gauge wire. Your pulling 32 amps thru your cheap cord.

[@scotthubbartt7864]

i would of liked you to flip the metal you last welded to see how deep the weld did😮

[@daryllmccoy6555]

Right that's the Real Test,If I could see The penetration...It would make a proper Test,or beat it with the Hammer, but it's your Video...

[@hectorcalderon3011]

Can you leave a link for the replacement consumables or tell me part numbers

[@jessieburdick1224]

I MIG and pulse weld your gas gauge should depend on the tip of metal u use I use 30-40 psi and for 12-14 gauge steel I use 18 239 and you don’t need to clamp the ground to your project unless you’re not using a steel table

[@Discoballofalife44]

Good Review. Thanks

[@californiakayaker]

Theres a guy having an aluminum boat built in Vietnam. You can watch the welders. I'm wondering if they might be using this welder. They are pro's. They have to grind a lot of the welds to make them look good. Just look up sailing into freedom.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

@@californiakayaker I’ll check that out. Thanks!

[@bradthackston5217]

A welder is a welder long as it sticks two pieces of metal together what more can you ask for

[@omarworrell3419]

Hey. Can you do another video on this welder on the highest setting.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Sure. Is there a certain metal thickness you’re curious about?

[@omarworrell3419]

​@@MrJustinWheelerHey dude. I am curious as too what the penetration would be like on 1/4 as well as 1/2 inch plate from this welder. I'm considering purchasing one within the next few days. However I can't seem to find much videos on this welder.

[@jtsgarage2999]

i need to find out the tig stuff i need to buy

[@jasonreichter3973]

I've been looking at this welder myself. The only thing I can say is all that spatter it makes with the gas on I would prefer not to have. Not sure if increasing the gas flow would help that or not. But I want to get away from that. Also I want to weld sheet metal, so it would be nice to find a demo of welding thin stuff like for auto body work.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yeah there’s a chance I didn’t have my gas flow up high enough. I actually did some sheet metal work with it recently. Welded in a patch panel on my old blazer. The welder did it’s job. I struggled bc I’d never welded such thin metal before, but I got it done.

[@robank3900]

Are the tips / nozzles fairly standard? I don't see it on the Amazon page

can you tell what i need to tig with this

[@packrat412609]

Could you share me your settings? Mine isn't working at all. I am grounded and all. I have welded before, but I'm not getting a single bead with this thing.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Is your metal clean? Wire is feeding and you just aren’t getting a stable arc?

[@cferrara1125]

Did it penetrate enough for strength? It might have been the camera. But it looked a bit like a cold weld. Not penetrating enough to become a part of the metal. Am I wrong?

[@boots7859]

I kind of agree, though not an experienced welder yet. Just because it looks nice on top doesn't mean much. If I get one, for my first foray I'd get several different thickness scraps and spend the 2 minutes to look up standard voltage, feed speed and gas volume. Try welding some small pieces, then use a grinder to cut them and stain them to check penetration. Jody at weldingtipsandtricks should have some decent MIG beginner vids which will help explain this simply enough to dial in one's machine.

[@acihawaii]

My local Miller dealer said this unit with crap out in 5 to 6 months?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I don’t use it a lot, but it’s still going strong. I’m really happy with it. For $250, it’s pretty low risk.

[@williambaker6630]

Can you make us a video on how to change the different settings for newbies? Please!

[@MrJustinWheeler]

I’ll be honest, I have to do a fair bit of experimenting. This morning I was welding sheet metal patch panels on a truck and had to tweak it until I got it just right. I’ll try to jot down what the settings are as I use it and I’ll make a video once I have a good amount of info to share.

[@dudekramer]

On the two angle iron you butt welded, you didn't show the penetration on the bottom of the weld. You didn't explain what your weld settings or size wire used.

[@LoonyMaxx]

he said the wire size 0.9

[@supermaga5351]

Does your mig gun attachment wobble up and down where it connects into the welder?

[@CoffeeNo0b0514]

"I didn't even get penetration on the bottom." Do you ever?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

🤣🤣

[@barrysteele8132]

Generally, if you don't get enough penetration, increase the heat. (Amps for Stick, Volts for Mig) Perhaps you are welding material that is too thick? I generally pull my welds, using an inverted "U", alternately melting the 2 base materials. If one side is vertical, I'll generally pull the bottom side farther, then pull the vertical side less. I'll also try to pull the weld on the thinner material less to prevent blowout.

[@jamesward5721]

Important "Top Tip" for owners - Azzuno, in their wisdom, are hugely optomistic on the "Ours has the longest welding torch leads!" front. They do indeed generally have the longest welding torch leads.... which is bad, not good, because they have the exact same boggo single-wheel wire feed as all other Chinese welders. This wire feed won't jam wire successfully down that long, long welding torch lead for, erm, long... it'll jam. The solution is to about halve the length of the welding torch lead - ignore the trigger/torch end - shorten it at the binzle connector end. You will then have a very fine welder once more. Otherwise, you will have - trust me - a paperweight. Halve the length of the torch-lead they supply. Thank me later.

[@bobbywills9487]

Sure you know by now, but turning your wire speed down would of helped.

[@baptistsoulwinner1611]

Also, are welding at 110 or 220?

[@TheSquirreless]

Looking at this machine because the Stahlwerks machine came from Europe and i dont think it would work with our electricity.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

It's a good unit.

[@LoonyMaxx]

european machines will work but you just have to know the wire color for the machine and rewire the plug. if it a 110/220 you need to wire a 110 head onto it the use a 220 to 110 hook up adapter cord.

[@markalsendi2889]

could u use this only with electricity, no gas ?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yes, this can run a flux core wire without gas.

[@usiega]

Could this welder use without gas?

[@MrJustinWheeler]

Yes sir. It’ll take fluxcore wire just fine. Next time I run out of solid mig wire, I plan to use some flux core to see how it runs. But you definitely don’t have to run gas.

[@MrJustinWheeler]

So far it’s been great. I haven’t used the stick or tig functions yet. But the Mig seems very good for what you pay for.

[@Telephonebill51]

It's lack of instructions it's it's biggest shortcoming. Another dude on here said his best welding was to set the wire to manual and his best welding on carbon steel was the left knob (speed?) set at 6.5 and the right one (current? voltage?) on 19. I tried that and it did okay, but it'll take a LOT of fiddling around on a daily basis to know exactly what you're doing.

[@Telephonebill51]

What would help GREATLY, Is you recording the damn settings on this thing AS you weld, to give us all a starting point with this gobbler. This is like MOST Chinese devices like this; they might work, but they're a BITCH to use. Help us out here. ALSO: I got some gasless tip shields so as not to have to use the larger tip. NOBODY apparently makes a "deep" well one that fits entirely over the Azzuno handle tip. the ones I got leave about 3/8" ring exposed; not so much a hazard, just annoying that nobody keeps track of the details like this.
