Awesome review bud! Thank you. My boss and I were looking at this product and now know what we’re investing into.

[@Young937phoenix]

My question is is there any way to add a knob to control wire feed speed. Like a diy or is it just stuck not being able to control that..

[@jamesward5721]

I can't speak to this model but I have a Yeswelder mma machine & it is phenomenal for the size/weight & current draw. I've welded professionally since I was a kid & still do - to date, having owned dozens of machines of all sizes/makes, it is my favorite mma(stick) welder ever. It's just faultless in what it does. It was also ridiculously cheap - unbelievably inexpensive - for the performance delivered. I couldn't recommend it any more highly for anyone thinking of buying a stick-welder. Yeswelder make damn good machines. No, they don't pay me/send me stuff - just in case anyone is wondering.

[@tremudy]

Thanks really great review, just ordered mine for occasional welding of probably any metal.

[@paulogracaribeiro2931]

Near the fan are the mosfet or igbts responsable for fast switching the dc current into ac on the other side there are the diodes wich are responsables for transforming the ac into dc than goes to the inductor and them to the leads.

Tom, I have a YesWelder MP 200 that will not start out of the box. Ada at YesWelder support said I need to remove the handle to open the case to see if a wire is loose. I see you opened the case. Can you explain how to remove handle and open the case. Thanks Harold

[@teddysurf]

Why do hardly any cheap welder reviewers use a clamp meter to test the amperage?

And when I got mine it has a 110 plug and a pig tail to 220 if u wanna run it off 220 I'm thinking about switching that out for 8/3 wire with 220 plug soon because I just feel that wire isn't big enough for the switch from 120 to 220

[@ericr.5477]

Could you do a review of the Decapower Fusion PMCT-205 ? It seems to me like a very capable 6-in-1 machine and I would love to hear your opinion about it. Perhaps also compare it to the YesWelder Firstess MP200.

[@jacobsmovie]

Anybody have a recommendation on the air compressor needed for plasma cutting?

[@bmad164]

You seem like the guy to be asked questions about the yes welder firstess 200. So I have had one for 1.5 years. I have used it and loved it until this past weekend. I went to use it, and when I striked an arc, the machine shut off, but the fan still cycled off and on. The digital display went black as well. When I plug and restart, everything seemed to be working again until shrinking the arc, and then it shuts off again. Any suggestions? Do you think it could be fixed? Yes welder is sending me a new machine and told me to keep the old one. I can't complain about their warranty. I did upload a video on you tube under bmad164. Thank you.

[@sj-xb4yz]

I wish you would have tried aluminum on the tig... I'm just learning but was curious about aluminum?

[@rickl6697]

It is lift Tig, not scratch. Big difference. HF would be a lot nicer, provided you're not close to sensitive electronics. Best to have both lift and HF.

[@seansysig]

Impressive other than Lift Tig only!

[@randylenart9674]

Will it weld aluminum

[@NDLineman94]

Would this machine be a better tig machine if you upgrade the torch and get a foot petal?

That's all it really needs to be a great machine and they are already including the foot pedal for free now!

[@rickl6697]

At 14:11 you said the wire was back up to 30mm, I think you meant 3mm? 30mm would be almost 1 1/4".

[@Young937phoenix]

I got mine awhile ago I hate the flux core welding it sucks maybe it's just me but I just now 8 months later got my gas tank to start mig welding. Hopefully it's better than the flux core

[@fiero11]

Gas is always a huge improvement over flux. Much cleaner weld and no slag in the weld or cleaning necessary.

[@walterbargersr3402]

Do you think in the future you will be testing the weldpro 200 amp MIG welder stick and TIG welder and also can run a spool gun and it synergic what I seen and heard and watch it is a absolutely a great weldpro welder 4 in 1 digital display it weld aluminum awesome and it's a well-built spool gun. All four types of processors weld perfectly all through entire amp range perfect welding machine weldpro 200-amp

[@markb2106]

Hi Tom, This was a great review of the machine and I'm impressed with your knowledge. I received one of these units last week but the mig (flux or gas) will not work. Yeswelder refund my money but did not ask for the unit back, just a video of it not working. I did try the plasma and MMA and they work. Not sure if the TIG works, no gas. Can you lead me to what I should test? Thanks, Mark

[@tragan1476]

Heck of a deal ...a free machine with a couple of capabilities

[@tragan1476]

All jokes aside have you taken apart the mig torch to make sure the switch in it tests good? Does the welder click or do any kind of sounds when the trigger is squeezed

[@markb2106]

@@tragan1476 yes... That the first thing we (customer service and I) tried. It will feed the wire. The welder won't power the mig torch. I made a jumper wire from the MMA to the mig and it will power the torch if you put the ground cable in the MMA port. Not sure if it's actually capable of welding this way.

[@tragan1476]

@Mark Billings I would try it if it's feeding wire ....at this point you have bothing to lose right? If you're doing flux core run the mig gun negative

[@abdulfarooqpak9467]

Where do they sell?

[@MLDIYSH]

Youre a smart dude. Could you help them resolve the output amperage issues? They advertise 200a but the output isn’t 200a. For example, their 250a machine is “250a output” but max weld is 3/8”. Max amperage is 250a but measured only 150-160a output. FYI 250a machine can weld 1/2”.

[@Trialnerror]

Dumb question....but, you're on 120v or 240v?

[@MLDIYSH]

@@Trialnerror 220. I made a video with machine maxed out and no go. Others have verified it with their own videos.

[@cryptovegan8526]

Is there an option to adjust ft/min separately with MiG?

[@Trialnerror]

No, that is a bit of an oversight on their part tbh. They did a good job of getting the speeds right and you can use slight variations in voltage to get the same effect but a separate control for feed speed would be a nice option.

[@fiero11]

I bought one of these to try just before the kickstarter came out for the Firstess 2050. I might have waited but this was a great deal since I primarily was wanting a mig welder and plasma cutter. The other features were a bonus and I loved the features. I am curious what compressor size and pressure works best for the plasma cutter. I have a typical 30 gal and 60 gallon home compressor, but it stated it needed a 15 CFM input to work well. Most compressors will not achieve that CFM unless they are industrial units. I do have a unit I am repairing that puts out 24 CFM with a 120 gallon tank that I got from an industrial plant, but I can not imagine that small airline holding up to the output of that compressor. It's a Saylor-Beall dual 2 stage unit.

[@Trialnerror]

From what I could see it looks like the built in compressor is really engineered for this purpose and only this purpose. It's high volume at the expense of pressure. You average home unit has low CFM because it also is expected to hit 120 - 175psi. This little guy has a big piston that moves a lot of air but only tops out around 60psi. In this case, that's perfect but you couldn't use it to drive a nail gun or an pneumatic impact gun.

[@fiero11]

@@Trialnerror Thank you so much for that information. The instruction manual had me confused and while my industrial duplex will easily supply the required air, I would have not thought to turn the pressure down to 50 or 60 psi to run the plasma cutter and I usually leave the unit at around 100 psi to run the majority of my air tools. Is there a small portable air compressor that can be used with the plasma cutter?

[@ironsmith9769]

@@fiero11 so long as you keep the line pressure above 58psi (72 is optimal) then you can cut. if the pressure drops too low, just stop cutting and wait for the compressor to catch up. a bigger tank can mean longer cuts but also more waiting between cuts. for my purposes i don't think there is a problem with a compressor that puts out 6.5 cfm. if it ever bothers me, i'll hook up a second compressor.

[@fiero11]

@@ironsmith9769 Thanks for the info. I have a decent 30 gallon compressor, but I'm putting a 120 gallon dual pump 24 cfm compressor in the shop which should keep up with no issues. That info helps if I use it for remote locations.

Question on the plasma cutter. Just used it for the first time yesterday. It seemed to not want to start cutting much off the time. Then would start up for no Apparent reason. Checked the ground and the air compressor seems up to the task. Anyone have a thought? Is it technique? User error?
