Does this 211p model weld standard flux core??? i Didnt notice a way to select none gas method on the menu in your video or anybody else's reviews of this. i emailed and called the yeswelder company and the email and on phone said that it doesnt weld flux core, only gas mig steel, ss, aluminum. why does it have 3 drive rollers than, the u, v, and w which i thought was fcaw wire roller. Please let me know

[@davidvrrampaul8663]

I would also like to know if it can use flux core before I purchase.

[@MakingStuff]

@@davidvrrampaul8663 There is no setting in the menu for flux core.

After selling my Vulcan MigMax 215, (watta beast that was,,, I abused that thing maxed out for months, it never blinked) I purchased one of these Yes machines specifically for the purpose of welding sheet steel custom body panels and intending to make use of the pulse functions. I weld mostly with 023 when doing this so the first thing I did was to load a 10lb spool of 023 and installed the 0.6mm driver roll. Set the machine at the recommended settings for 20-ga, 100% Co2, 15v 40A on synergic. Then attached the ground clamp and attempted to weld with a new 023 tip installed on the gun. (YesWelder did not provide an 023 tip in the package, so I used one of the common copper 023 tips available everywhere) Even with the wire drive roller clamp fully tightened, the drive roll slipped on the wire every time I tried to weld. The small wire stuck inside the 023 tip every time it had to carry current. My first attempt cause me to pull out 10' of wire for a looksee. The entire 10 feet that was inside the liner had bend waves, as though it was behaving like a spring, coiling up, then recoiling back to length. Never saw a weld wire do that before today. . Possibly, it is my lack of knowledge of how to set up their machine. 023 can be a pain if the liner is filthy. In this case, the liner and the rest, are all new. I am in contact with the Yes people to figure out watzUp. . Needing desperately to doo do some down and filthy welding, I loaded a 10lb spool of 045 and adjusted the settings accordingly maxed out at 200 amps as I was welding 1/2 steel as I commonly do. There were no hiccups with the 045, that's for sure; the machine plowed into the thick steel seemingly better than did the Vulcan, and all while using synergic settings for 035 and the U-09 drive roller that facilitated the use of the larger 045 wire. There is a big difference between the Vulcan and this Yes thingee. This, Yeseree, clearly trounced the Vulcan in its synergic settings, producing very little spatter compared to the Vulcan which consistently blasted great balls of fire to all sides, leaving the surrounding surfaces a mess. . On the surface, compared to the Vulcan, the materials used to make the electrical mechanism get the job done, are on the cheesy side. For example, the ground clamp copper fabric that electrically ties the two sides of the clamp together is not spot welded to the other half of the clamp. Because of that, the fabric dislodged from under its clamp, leaving it dangling between the two halves of the clamp. . The drive roller clamp mechanism is stamped folded steel, compared to the fully cast parts used on the Vulcan. . The gun is fine. Took me about 10 min to get accustomed to the double trigger function, but now I love it. No need to squeezy the trig all the time. I kinda do'nt think the clear plastic cover is going to last in my environs; soo much scheight fly'n round ya know. . It may be the machine needs a dual drive roller assemble before the 023 will pass properly,,, who knows?? . With all the stuff attached, the Yes machine is significantly lighter than the Vulcan. I love that part :) You should see the Miller beast I used to tote around to the jobs back 30+ years ago.

[@messybench]

I'm just looking at this welder for the first time. I have a Lincoln 255 that's note portable. I'm curious if you soled the .023 problem? It occurred to me that you have the drive rolls too tight. When it pinches too tight, it can warp the wire. Anyway good luck.

I think the manual says it doesn't pulse weld with a spool gun. Is the manual incorrect. Sure would be better if it pulse migs with a spool gun also.

[@MakingStuff]

Yes, mine will pulse weld with a spool gun. You can see it in the video.

[@EChunter]

Spool gun for the big project seems backwards.

[@MakingStuff]

Spool gun will push the wire better than trying to push it all the way through the MIG torch.

[@toddjohnson4870]

Don't cut off the aluminum liner like he shows you need to follow the instructions like the manual shows or you will come up short. Still a decent review.

[@johnmacmillan627]

What do the instructions say about how to change the liner?

[@danielsplayhouse3804]

Reason why you haven't seen the ceramic diffuser on any of the mig torches most companies cheap out and use the ak15 mig torches on their machines which are 150 amp mig guns. It's actually quite impressing that yes welder actually upgraded to the MB-35 benzel Meg gun which has a heavy duty tips ceramic diffuser and also has a better nozzle and it feels better in the hand. My cheap MIG welder that I have that was the first thing I did was throw away that ak-15 mig gun and ordered an mb-35 benzel mig gun from China. But keep up the good work keep up the great videos looking forward to seeing more of you welding on the aluminum boat. Hopefully you'll be using that new yes welder 211p w/ double pulse....

[@MakingStuff]

Thanks for watching, Yes I've switched over to the 211P on the jet boat. I wish I had it when I started a few months ago.

[@apedeferri1]

I just got one of these and can't figure a few things out: 1) On the display, the far right column, does that refer to gas type as you say in the video, or does it refer to wire material type? 2) I believe it is a wire speed adjustment (mine didn't come with a chart), but I am wondering how to adjust for material thickness in MIG "Syn" mode? 3) Is there a way to change the units from metric to imperial? Thanks for your time. Keep up the good videos.

[@randyedwards3244]

A word of advice - lately, at least on Facebook and Tik Tok, a similar welder is advertised for a somewhat lower "Christmas Special" price. Upon arrival, the package contained a toy plastic typewriter, about 2" x 1 1/2" x 1 1/4". The response from the seller when they replied to my email was - "Shipping screwed up, we're offering a 60% refund and you may keep the item!" Such a generous offer! Please let me be clear - at NO TIME is the "YESWELDER" REFERRED TO BY NAME. It does however have the same appearance and offers similar features. I simply don't want to hear of anybody else being taken as I was. There are similar ads for "deals" on "Laser Rust Removal" tools and a "Laser Etcher/Cutter Even if I only keep just ONE more person from being taken in, I'll be happy! This senior wishes he learned THIS way rather than the HARD WAY! Remember guys, "Let the buyer BEWARE!""

[@MakingStuff]

Order direct from YesWelder on their official web page and you won't have that problem. Link in description.

[@pacopet1234]

I have 1 yeswelder 250 mig and these machine never stop to amaze me, I’m currently welding 2 11pound roll of 0.045 316L flux core per day with them and they keep pushing! The original mig gun was really bad but change for the 36kd or a better one and you can really push this machine beyond

[@GrossGraphix01]

I noticed you used couple yeswelder models. Id like something good all round. Tig aluminum/ steel/stainless, mig/ pulse mig if possible and plasma cut. Probably nothing thicker than 1/4" ta 3/8" will i ever weld or cut. What machine do you suggest? I don't have a need for stick welding. Can suggest a machine that's not yes brand if have one.

[@tonyp9609]

Good video but they don't offer this model anymore. Thanks

[@Alimotevalian-g8i]

Excellent for thin material you advertised ,yet you do 14 guage which is 1.9mm , thin is tin can .. 0.3mm .. try that then you know. they gave you free and you are raving about it , of course anyone would be .. you mig welded 14 gauge steel which is 1.9mm , stick welder do same so i do not know what impressed you and you can hook spool gun and pulse box to your old stick welder and do same.

[@jgren4048]

Do you know what the difference is between this pulse mig and the Frontious CMT process?

[@MakingStuff]

Sorry, no.

[@bigytv8392]

Thanks for your review. I am seriously considering this model. Do you have any idea if it can be adapted for MIG brazing? I need the brazing mode for auto body applications as it is a requirement of many manufacturers due to usage of high strength steel. Looking at the instructions it does not have brazing settings directly. As alternative I researched Miller MIG welders. Miller has no brazing mode but they provide instructions on their website how to adapt MIG settings for brazing work. Do you think this machine can be also used for brazing?

[@MakingStuff]

It won't do brazing.

[@Jong-u5e]

Kemppi pulse is the best for brass top machine and quality at a top end price tho

[@willhall7777]

@@Wachuko-1 are you using 211p with a spool gun instead of Mig welding aluminum? I'm looking to get a good aluminum mig welder because I have a business fabricating custom designed aluminum gates and all I do is aluminum. I'm trying to get away from the spool gun and I also Tig but it's too slow to keep up with how quick I should be getting the gates built. I need to go faster and we all know you can only go but so fast with aluminum so I see my only option to go quicker is aluminum mig welding. I just watched some videos of the HTP and I'm trying to see my best options for the best price. The welder I used before I started my own business cost 12,000-15,000 and I don't have even close to that.

I don't get why the spool gun is better

[@MakingStuff]

The aluminum wire is soft and it doesn't have to be "pushed" as far when in a spool gun. This pretty much eliminates any chance of a birds nest in the welder. It also doesn't have much of a spring effect when it is oly being pushed a few inches.

Where have I seen a MIG weld like that on 1/16" aluminum? The HTP Pro Pulse MIG welders have been doing that and even better since about 2015-2016. They have a Precision-Aluminum-Weld Program that can weld down to 0.030" thick aluminum without needing to use a spoolgun. It uses an 8ft long aluminum dedicated MIG gun with a carbon-graphite liner.
