Tig Welder Review pt2 - AC/DC Tig Welding Machines

[@T3glider]

I really appreciate these older videos being available because many of us are looking to pick up an older used machine.

[@dan27052]

I hate to be one of those guys who only comments when your giving something away, but here I am. Either way I've been watching your channel since I ran across it about 2 years ago, and have learned a lot along the way. It doesn't matter about the "prize", this is really a long overdue thanks for taking the time to post these vids!!

[@chadsirmans6419]

I've been welding for about 4 years now and I've watched your videos ever since then. Just wanted to say great job, I learn something new everyday from your videos.

[@brianlegrand826]

JUst to add a comment, you take a lot of time to demonsrate and explain the topics in your videos. We look forward to finding out when there is a new video available, if not we review old ones. Thank You and "your crew" so much!

[@stevenhardy2898]

I like watching your reviews. Because I was able to watch you use and review the Lincoln 210mp (with the pros and the cons) I bought one of them. (I wanted occasional spool gun use more than I wanted ac tig) .My point is: I wish there was a way to inform Lincoln that YOU deserve the credit for my plunking down 1700 for the machine and all of its accessories. Everything you have covered on your reviews has been highly accurate.

[@MrClevet3]

The most beautiful beads I've ever seen! Had I not seen this video, I would've thought those beads were made by a robot. You have an amazing talent sir.

[@eddieb.1901]

I trust this mans info and reviews than anyone else thank u sir for teaching explaining etc my hat off to you

[@everlastgenerator]

New foot pedal will be available later this year. But for now we offer an upgrade option of an American made SSC controls pedal, which is essentially the same as Lincoln uses.

[@Jessewren1968]

Where are your machines manufactured?

[@JJ91284]

Is the stock Everlast pedal able to be swapped out at time of purchase for the upgraded SSC for a reduced price? Or is one paying full price for an optional SSC pedal at time of purchase?

[@503technics]

+Wren Wright China.

[@everlastgenerator]

No, the pedal is an outright purchase, though it is sold at a discount.

[@everlastgenerator]

They are made in China. However, we use US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and other country sources on major components. For comparision, Miller is only assembled in the USA now with many parts coming from China and elsewhere. The lincoln featured above is made in Mexico out of imported parts from all over the world.

[@CarlosGlatzos976]

Just found this video, even if I do not plan to buy a TIG welder in the near future because I can´t afford it I think I learned a lot about it - so I may be ready when it comes to it. Your welding detail shots are great! Did not find anything near as good as yours yet. Great reviews. Cheers!

[@Enonymouse_]

CarlosGlatzos976 ahp tig welder probably hands down best ac/dc tig stick in its price range, 680$ us lowest price.

[@jamaulden1009]

I stumbled upon your videos and have been binge watching them for the last few days....I wish I would have had this info 10 years ago. I got pretty good with MIG and can could get by with stick but I can only imagine how good I could have gotten if I would have had this info. Never had a chance to TIG but I've always wanted to. Maybe I'll win!!!! Keep up the good work I love your channel.

[@robert23497]

I bought a primeweld 225 ac/dc tig machine. 800 bucks on Amazon. 3 year warranty. Pulse for ac or dc. Comes with a ck worldwide(best in the business) torch. It welds smooth and clean. I love it. The fabrication series has a review on it that sold me.

[@bcbloc02]

Thanks Jody, enjoy your long weekend.

[@NewJerusalemTimes]

Nice overview of some newer, nicer values in AC/DC TIg units on the market. I did buy an Everlast 210EXT (2015) due to the influence of some of your early videos demonstrating it in it's earlier, slightly more compact version, which obviously has the same specs and performace as the current model year. But I like the newer interface and am completely satisfied with the 210EXT after nearly two years now. Actually, the longer I have it the more I like it, even though it's my first AC/DC TIG unit, but I did use and enjoy a DC-only TIG unit before that, and then decided to include aluminum into projects of mine. Anyway, I'm glad I spent a little more to get the advanced features of the 210EXT, i.e., the wave forms, digital interface, water-cooler plug, and the memory function ability. The 210EXT is undoubtedly a best-value in the advance-features-class. The Everlast staff, warrantee, service, support, and forum have been good too. I added an SSC pedal, but then tried the new CK SteadyGrip pistol-grip amptrol device, and really dig it with the 210EXT, as the handle makes for a nice prop and it keeps your hand off an air-cooled torch, besides, it's actually "steady" too. Ha, ha, ha... ROCK ON, Jody!

[@jacojanks5985]

@newjerusalemtimes i am looking at the 210ext now. Are you still satisfied with it? You mentioned staff and warranty have been good. Have you had issues with your machine?

[@NewJerusalemTimes]

@@jacojanks5985 Ive had mine now for over 6 years, and if it blew up today (I was just using it a couple hours ago) I’d buy another one tomorrow. I’m convinced it’s comparable in advanced features to the Dynasty 210DX w/CPS, which with a pedal and the optional SD card that unlocks the Miller hobbled features is now over $7000, I believe. An Everlast 210EXT can still be had for about $1600, on sale, delivered, tax-free to most outside of Alta Calif., which is about the same as I paid over 6 years ago. So, THANK YOU, China, for holding down the Inflation rate for us here on the North American continent. The 210EXT reportedly now has a more robust HF start module. Mine has the contactless HF daughterboard, but they went back to a contact-point style some years ago; the interface and housing has been updated a bit too. But the specs are relatively unchanged, like that brilliant 60% duty-cycle and maximum amperage. I don’t the Dynasty comes close to that, and Mr. TIG did a video that proves the 210EXT has a conservative 60% duty-cycle rating (See his Duty-Cycle Shootout video). So, yeah, RUN, DON’T WALK, in getting a 210EXT before some new trade barrier goes up or a new anti-Asian tariff is imposed here on the North American continent. The advanced features on a unit like the 210EXT are compelling, to me, and I recommend them even to a newbie, which may seem like counterintuitive advice. What I mean is, like the Triangle waveform on AC was very helpful for me early on in welding thinner aluminum, and it still is. The Advanced Pulse, when used non-reductively gives surprisingly more penetration on aluminum than any 210 amp unit around, since it is usually set for half-time on DCEN, and half on AC. I know, crazy! But crazy, good, if you want more punch on aluminum. So, I don’t think a 210EXT is a unit that most anyone can “grow out of”, and that’s good for newbies too. The 210EXT has slightly fewer features than the 255EXT, so it may be less confusing for newbies, i.e., no EASY START function of SPOT function, which makes the interface less-busy. I thoroughly enjoy and endorse it! I'm guessing that you will too.

[@jimgam730]

Can't wait for the next video in this series. Thanks for all your videos Jody you have the best ones on youtube.

[@oldschool823]

hi Jody. I've been looking for a TIG welder. still haven't decided. been looking at the Miller S90. as a newbie, it very difficult to find the right one. this information has shed some light on pros and cons great video. Thanks

[@G1itzik]

As Usual best welding channel out there, keep up the metric dimensions for us folks overseas

[@richardvalcourt5628]

Excellent review Jody, thank you. I own a Squarewave 200, still working on box cutter blades, you make it look so easy.

[@joshcapasso2773]

Richard Valcourt what is your opinion on the your square wave? I've been wanting one.

[@richardvalcourt5628]

Josh Capasso I love my Squarewave 200! I am not a welder of the same caliber as Jody here but for what I do and for what I want to do it is an excellent welding machine. The stick side of it is also very powerful and carries a very smooth arc with either 6011 or 7018. The problem I am having though is when I back off on the pedal when doing tig my auto darkening welding shield flashes me. I have a midrange welding shield.

[@longevitywelding]

Great Video! Well done showing what these machines are capable of and their pros and cons.

[@FredMiller]

Awesome reviews. So much content I have to watch it twice to get all the info. Thanks for sharing- Fred

[@Rich206L]

Always a great show. Been a subscriber for several years and you really know your stuff!

[@davidthompson5108]

I'm going for an everlast welder. Their quality is very good now and I'm going to save a bundle of cash.

[@samoksner]

Good reviews that run through the machines quickly and show off the main pros and cons well. Keep em coming!

[@andrewjackson3327]

Everlast sure does make some great welders. Some new ones coming out in 2020 too.

[@trod9524]

Thanks Jody for your generosity in sharing your knowledge. It has been a great help for me. Your videos and the resources on your site have been an indispensable tool set. God bless.

[@Specialized1993]

I love watching your videos. this is so beautiful, not that i how weld cuz i cant afford to buy a tig welder but still i can see that this is perfectionism.

[@TheToonamiRevolution]

I have been considering an everlast machine to use at home. I use a Miller Syncrowave 350lx at work all day, so I am always nervous of not using a well known brand. This really makes me feel a bit better though! Thanks so much.

[@NerdlyCNC]

my 210EXT comes tomorrow...i'm looking forward to it.

[@newcombnicholas]

Great stuff Jody. Love your videos. Side note. Forgot what video it was but on the video you made an "insulator" for a scratch start Tig torch using a bottle. Great idea but I know for me I always have left hand gloves laying around with a finger blown out but than I found slide the argon hose through the hole, tape it and than clip your stinger in there and there's your insulator. Great stuff sorry for the rant. Keep it up man.

[@claythe1]

I've been looking at the Everlast machine. great video

[@oldpete3153]

I watch only the odd You Tube video but these done by Jody are a must for me and I find myself beyond eager waiting for the next one to come out !! Just starting to try my hand at tig with a new machine and I find myself constantly referring back to Jody's videos to see where I've gone wrong.

[@DWDRUMSFOREVER]

Thank you for all of the information in this, and all of your videos.

[@joelyboyblue]

Can't wait for a chance to win, another outstanding vid, thanks Jody

[@Johnnyreengo]

It would be cool to see Jody's opinion on the Lincoln Aspect 375

[@Svarogperformance]

Thank you ! I think I start learn Tig welding with Everlast 210ext machine

[@Jeffhuebner]

Love your videos! Learning every-time I watch! Keep it up!

[@thornyturtleranch4u]

I got an 80 amp everlast plasma. My need for it in the past got away from me and I haven't used it, I'm about to. But everlast from all the videos I've watch makes an excellent product. May change on availability on corona economy changes but while it lasts.

[@robdurham6745]

I just picked up the Lincoln Garage Pak which includes the 210 MP and the Square Wave Tig 200 for $1999. That is $600 less than usual. I was looking at the Everlast 255ext and then later getting a AC/DC tig from Everlast later but would have had about $3000 or more in that setup. I contacted Everlast about getting their machines without their "TIG kits" because the 200 DV was offered without TIG Kit on the website. I wanted to just add my own foot pedal and TIG torch and save the money in not having to get the accessories included with the Everlast machines. However, I was told that I could not get any of the other Everlast machines without also getting their TIG Accessories. I feel like for what i will be doing which is hobby jeep and motorcycle work The Garage Pak was a great deal to cover all processes. Hope I made a good choice anyway.

[@Enonymouse_]

Rob Durham best of luck to ya my combo would likely be a everlast 250 amp multi and an ac tig specific box. the multi is crammed with top notch features and costs 1600 retail.

[@joshcapasso2773]

how do you like your square wave 200? I've been wanting one myself

[@robdurham6745]

It was a special Lincoln was running. I ordered it from their website

[@robdurham6745]

Josh Capasso Liking them both pretty good so far...Still havent done any aluminum welding though

[@weldingjunkie]

Josh Capasso the squarwave has a shit 35% duty cycle

[@kevincommarota5555]

watching your videos is jus like being back in tech school some years ago jus better learning experiance frum you..thanks

[@buckw65]

Very well explained. Really enjoy your videos

[@brucecaldwell6701]

I bought the Square Wave 175 based partly on Jody's opinion of it on past videos. Shortly thereafter, Lincoln introduced the SW 200. I would rather have it, or something comparable, for portability which the 175 is definitely not. As he mentioned, the post flow is fixed (at 15 seconds) which I hate. You can go through an 80 cubic ft. bottle of argon real quick. It's a decent machine though for a small shop or home use & it's a great stick welder. I think Jody has some of the best welding content on KZbin & I like that he also reviews tools & accessories too.

[@princetikki]

I have an Everlast PowerTIg 250EX and love it. Great welders and product support. Don't be scared of the "less" known name.

[@danjennings5068]

Pt 3? I can't seem to find the part 3 video.

[@1313bigdog]

hello Jody (hope I spelled it right) ok I'm hooked I have been welding for many years never as a career but in a ag/shop repair setting. done a lot of fab work and built some cool stuff for myself. you and your vids are amazing I love the no bs format of just the facts and show the welding awesome job! I want to learn to tig. I can do all positions of stick and wire but watching your videos I wanna take the next step. where is part 3 of this series and do you have any other material for a beginner? sorry for the long comment but keep up the good work!

[@bostondan77]

I've owned a everlast powertig 210 EXT and I would never buy an Everlast product again. My Everlast didn't last forever, after one year of very light use it broke, I shipped it to them, I was quoted 4- 6 weeks for it to be repaired. 2 months later they hadn't even looked at my unit . 3 (THREE!) months later it was finaly repaired. I sold it and bought a squarewave 200 I couldn't be happier.

[@st170ish]

Ive used mine for the last two years nearly every day... hasnt skipped a beat

[@st170ish]

@Brandon S it's still working like the day it was delivered... the red and blue are ridiculously priced here pretty much quadruple the price of the green

[@77.88.]

Can we buy a filter that we can put over our automatic welding lens so we can see the work in progress like you see when making your videos? You, in my opinion make the easiest and most informative videos and I enjoy the useful products I have bout from you. How about a video showing how to make a good stable portable welding platform that is fully adjustable for one off welding positions? Thanks for your great videos and sharing your superior knowledge.

[@GizFab]

Be nice to know your Opinion on the Eastwood TIG200.

[@sethhatfield3883]

Does the square wave require a foot pedal?

[@aaronbrink3858]

Hey Jody first off really like your channel and your tig fingers are awesome!!! Was wondering if you could show a pic of your splitter mainly the check valves that you used thanks

[@jasvan4359]

Have you used the newer Miler synchrowave 210 acdc ? Do you have a review on this Machine and a Opinion good or bad?

[@GregoryJohnston77]

On the lincoln 175 do you have to scratch start or touch the metal to get started?

[@ohrenstoepsele]

Hey Jody, i really enjoy your channel and learned some good welding tips here! I would be soo happy if you could make a video about how to weld some stainless steel pipes together used for custom exhausts for motorbikes... They are thin and for me still a challenge to look really nice and shiny... Best regards! Victor from Germany

[@mikeklevgard6183]

thanks jody for the information,,, was wondering what your thoughts were on a older miller 330a , i have a chance to bring one home really cheap,,,

[@wickedwieselmachine2790]

have you ever done a review on the larger tig welders ? I have a 275 Lincoln would like to see some reviews on machines that size

[@PopPopTerry]

great video and very informative. Really learn from your videos. Keep them coming.

[@julianbrody6392]

I'd love to see another shootout like this between Everlast and the other big names.

[@JeffinTD]

Another excellent video.

[@darylscott1592]

hi Jody, can you do a review on a range of jasic welding machines? I've enquired about them to stores who stock them but obviously there gonna be biased towards them can you give a no bs review? thanks

[@pccchurch]

Damn that Everlast welds beautiful on the razor.

[@devynjackson4658]

Hey Jody, First off, you are awesome. Second, Between these 4 machines, which one would you say is your favorite and just in general, most enjoyable to weld with? Really looking into the Everlast machines for here at our shop and even one for myself personally. Looking into the Powertig 255ext for the price point and features you get. Also the duty cycle at the amperage we usually run at a 200 is usually fine though there are times 250 amps would really just save my butt. Just curious on your personal opinion and how you feel about those in particular regardless of if it is negative or positive. Just looking for some quality words, Thanks- Devyn

[@weldingluminary]

Hi Jody. Great Vid. Question? No Dynasty 200dx?

[@Eggrollofdoom]

Do you have an AHP AlphaTig 200x? I've had mine for a year and I've been loving it. So many features, ZERO issues for under $800. Only thing is the pedal is different from your standard Miller/Lincoln pedals, but it doesn't take long to get used to.

[@josephperry4344]

What don't you like about the Everlast foot pedal?

[@dreamservdreamserv1155]

i use a migatronic PI250 ac/dc at work and i love it :)

[@wyteboii3688]

Most the work I'll use this for is 18 gauge sheet metal on cars which will be a wholelot of tack welds and some aluminum tubing. Would you get the square wave 200 or diversion 180 of the price was the same on both?

[@ayncameron5447]

Hey Jody I know im a little late but would you care to comment on how a esab 186i AC/DC tig machine would stack up against a tig 200 square wave I was told it will will outperform the Lincoln but i would like to hear that from a non biased source Thanks Tom from Canada

[@fender1325]

Jody which machine of these do you prefer the most? I haven't tig'd before and my needs will mostly be on mild sheet steel autobody, and the Lincoln 175's simplicity and durability sound very attractive compared to these digital inverter machines.

[@nich1067]

Where is the video for the first part?

[@redsx13]

Between the Everlast 210 and square wave 200 which one would you recommend? (Primarily aluminum, Hobby garage machine, intermediate skill level ) Great video! Thanks!

[@garymathews9534]

seen some great prices on the green machines at their website ,maybe a christmas special price .I mite buy one to mainly weld aluminum .

[@cdavis9935]

hey Jodi...hope that's how ya spell it...lol so I picked me up a tig gig welding aluminum sand casted parts to 6063 sch 40 aluminum pipe with a miller dynasty 350. of all the education I have, my super is saying/wants 3 pass welds and washing them all together to get a "solid bead"..... This goes against everything I thought I knew about welding aluminum. Their welds are solid white and washed out with massive heat pumped into the part...and no preheat. Could you do a small segment for this? The shoulder off the pipe is about 1/2". I'm sure I'm missing some info here....but to see a professional and his settings might go a ways with a super that got his title via friend....and has no business welding (in my opinion )

[@torberen]

hi im from Norway and i have always wondered thi, why dont you guys over in the usa use kemppi machines ? always when i see a Welding video from USA they use what we in norway consider old and outdated like stick welding machines or old flux core machines. so im just wondering why you guys dont use like the kemppi fastmig mxf 63 or a kemppi mastertig ?

[@dansworkshop1972]

Any chance you could tell me which torch and regulator you use with your Thunderbolt setup?

[@jonl40]

awesome video with insight thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge and skill I like many others appreciate it.

[@martygibbs7655]

When will part three come out?

[@jdandcoke]

thanks. looking at getting the everlast. sold in the UK under the name rtech

[@CRUHITMAN]

What quality of helium did you add ,thanks .

[@Rifleguy4570]

So for aluminum on the Lincoln, does it require pure tungsten? My dad just got one and I fired it up with a 2% lanthanated and the arc scattered all over the place

[@cooders71]

i really enjoy watching your videos. I've taught myself how to stick and mig many years ago and have played with an old water cooled tig welder. I was thinking of condensing my welding tools and was interested in your input of that ESAB welder that does stick,mig and tig. I'll keep watching and see if you cover it. thank you and my dad,bruce koons, says hi.

[@Enonymouse_]

cooders71 the welding pros ive seen love the esab rebel for its versatility and portability. its tig is lift only, no hf start.

[@EcoMouseChannel]

So far, from what I can tell is that the AHP AlphaTIG 200X (2016 model) is the best AC/DC TIG welder for your dollar on the market right now. Love the fact that it's dual voltage! $700 on Amazon

[@wdiv]

$730 shipped, yep. I just grabbed one two weeks ago and love it!

[@haydenwilson7255]

yeah, until the high freq start craps out on you only after 5 months and only two 80 cu bottles then you have to pay 90$ shipping both ways lol... ask me how I know

[@wdiv]

+Hayden Wilson which model do you have? The newest 4 revision?

[@haydenwilson7255]

no, it was the 2015 model. I bought it right before the 2016 came out. Shipped it Monday last week, got there Thursday. Just called and they said it should be shipped out before the end of this week so we shall see.

[@haydenwilson7255]

The tech guy said word on the street is they may be making a water cooler for it for next years model for still a really good price.

[@tomaszpaluszkiewicz3189]

hello Jody. Any ideas what ac dc tig welder to buy in Ireland or UK? By the way I learned more from your videos then from school. Big thanx Jody... Tomas from IE

[@tomaszbargiel8586]

Hello. My name is Tomasz I am the happy owner of Lincoln Electric ASPECT 300. I have a problem with connecting the device to the power supply. Namely, I would like to find out if it is possible to connect the device to the 1st phase. Originally, the device has 3-phase cables. Unfortunately, there is no such information in the manual. If it is possible, can I get a diagram or use any other device to perform this option. Regards

[@917Jolly]

Jody I'm learing so much from just watching your vids thank you! I'm now ready to purchase a tig welder. I currently have a Lincoln ideal-arc 250sp for my mig welding needs. My question is I have my choices narrowed down between the Lincoln square wave 200 or the Everlast 185dv. I love the simplicity and the parts availability of the Lincoln, but they are alot more than the latter. In your eyes which one of the 2 is the better choice. thank you for any help, scott

[@thomasfaust2480]

I'm looking at getting a miller multimatic 200because I do a lot of marine work in the harbors around and I would like be able to start making dry exhaust systems out of stainless could you do a review on this welder

[@breinbjerg22]

Hi Jody have you ever tried a Danish Welding machine, A Migtronic. that and then Kemppi is the only brands i have tried, I would like to know if they are any good, compared to US welding Machines

[@motecalevol]

I have a Miller EconoTIG machine which I believe is essentially the same as the Lincoln Tig 175 (Transformer, No Freq control, fixed post flow). I can't weld Aluminum worth a crap with that machine. I had a couple of scrap pieces from a golf cart frame and I could not really get a puddle started. I also had problems with the tungsten getting really hot and eroding. I started out with 1/16 Tungsten and switched to 3/32 which worked a lot better but still dismal results. Any suggestions for welding aluminum with a transformer machine would be awesome. (Like using Helium. . .)

[@522design]

Changing torch cable is a pain on Miller but well worth it , and ditch that thumb wheel right away ,

[@brandonspence2189]

I feel like the AHP Alpha TIG 200 should be on the list somewhere, very cheap and capable machine.. At $850, I couldn't ask for more. The arc is nice, and you can weld just about anything, I've thrown beads on soda cans.

[@Enonymouse_]

Brandon Spence 670 if you look hard enough 😏

[@chrisjones6165]

How do you maintain torch angle on socket welds? I just tried and was a disaster to say the least. I can not get the hang of going around pipe. Keep killing tungsten and no good results at all

[@mhgbjhhhgfjnhhjj1802]

jody, what is your take on the Eastwood tig 200 Ac/DC for aluminum?

[@flytyer232]

Any experience with the everlast warranty???? I have only had Lincolns, but for the money the everlast looks like a good way to get a dedicated Tig machine....

[@weldingtipsandtricks]

I'm not a good one to ask about warranty...I am pretty sure I get special treatment as a youtuber

+weldingtipsandtricks I love how honest you are:)

[@tayloryates3]

I've had great experience with the customer service and warranty. Got to speak with the boss of the California office and he was extremely helpful and proactive.

[@jagboy69]

The lincoln squarewave 200 has way less features than the everlast. I wonder how many new owners are surprised when they first use it to see no adjustablity for pre/postflow! HTP invertig all the way baby!

[@kollapsiblelungs]

...may i ask if you know which country mitsuden welding machines are from? thank you.

[@brianlegrand826]

What are your thoughts on a MILLER SYNCROWAVE 200 DX, I was shopping around and it seems the best machine for your dollar.

[@ccmooth]

And by the way, 1 simple question, welding tiny stuff with a tungsten has to have a sharp tip or you can do a flat tip as well? +weldingtipsandtricks

[@emc84]

sharp

[@gwasha11]

Hi Jody, wish you could review a Fronius welder and give us your feed back!!! Thank you for sharing your awesome experience!!! from 10,000 odd miles away!

[@martinandersson5278]

Fronius are not interested in sending a welder to him Only the crappy Chinese brands will do Fronius will sell there machines anyway

[@gwasha11]

Martin Andersson Fronius will, they also want reviews??? specially from a person of Jody's human nature!!!

[@martinandersson5278]

+Ayres deSouza no, they will not Way to advanced and expensive machines for the hobbyist that watches this Chanel Why do you think he never " review " any of the top brands like Fronius ESAB EWM Kemppi? This is a perfect forum for everlast alpha and other crap brands that want to sell there cheep shit

[@gwasha11]

Guess your right Martin, Fronius India wants a friendly relationship with a hobbyist here!!!

[@martinandersson5278]

+Ayres deSouza what??

[@jasonmaes6021]

I'm thinking about buying a Eastwood Tig 200. Do you have any experience with them or any Eastwood welders?

[@carlosvazquez8962]

hey bud I wanted to know your opinion on the everlast 164si is it worth it I do welding side jobs nd can really use the ac DC nd the plasma , , also was curious to see if you had a fix or alternative to the whole gas connection , , when ever I would need to switch gasses or processes I'd have to disconnect tanks and it's a hassle is the maybe a multi entrance gas valve than I can just turn to switch from gasses for example going from tig to plasma and needing compressed air , thanks in advance

How do you know rxactly when to run low hz or high hz

hey jody, what's the best/ favorite mig welder you have ran? mine is by far an esab migmaster 250 super smooth running machine and powerfull

[@timmallard5360]
