Ordered a 135-110, but way too slow in delivery, so I upgraded to the 205ds. Sure enough I'm getting the further upgraded B. Your cons are exactly what I have heard and yes is listening. Glad I didn't just walk away and purchase from someone else.

[@YesWelder]

Thank you very much for the awesome feedback, Dave! :)

[@Android_Warrior]

I just got this machine 3 days ago but I have been looking on KZbin for 2 weeks while waiting for the machine to arrive, This video BY FAR is the most comprehensive explanation on how to set up the machine especially how to setup the wire speed. Thanks @Joe of @harbaughsworkshop for taking the time to do the review.

[@kenstrayhorn5923]

Thanks for explaining the panel - some of those listings were incomprehensible to me but now that I know they are settings for inductance, hot start, etc, I can do my setups. I'll be using my machine for repairs on my farm. Something is always broken.

[@rickyricardo976]

Thanks for the video...I just picked up a 205DS-B yesterday from my Tractor Supply Store. I'm fairly new to welding and want to use it for welding bungs, mounts, sheet metal and various other mild steel fab parts on my motorcycle . I thought this was a great value at a $389 price point, with many different modes of welding. I think I'm going to have a blast learning how to weld, right along with building my bike.

[@billsmith5166]

I'm sure this might be too late, but as you're going through the settings after the inductance and 2t 4t using the knob, you don't explain what any of them do. You say what they are named, but you don't say how they affect the weld. Could you possibly clarify?

[@brucewalters8974]

I was going to ask the same question... let me know if you get an answer.... Thanks Bill Smith...

[@richardvillanueva8786]

​@@brucewalters89742t and 4t don't affect the weld 4t Is typically used for tig foot pedals 2t is for the torch thumb on off switch With mig it's only used for the trigger since no foot pedal is used

[@11GalleryATV]

He did say what they do ... the 2t means that the trigger starts the weld when pulled and has to stay pulled in order to keep welding and stops when you release the trigger, and the 4t means that when you pull the trigger the weld starts but will not stop until you pull the trigger again ...

[@billsmith5166]

@@11GalleryATV Sorry I was unclear. I was referring to the settings AFTER the 2t, 4t and inductance using the knob. Sorry for the confusion.

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

You explain the adjustment knobs very good, I just bought this machine and the manual does not explain it. Excellent video. I'm trying to weld 22 gauge with .030 flux core wire in manual mig from 120 volts, any suggestions.

[@driver6629]

Nowhere in the instructions or in this video does it show how to select metal thickness on my 205B. This might be a deal breaker. Can anyone explain how to choose metal thickness in MANUAL MIG mode?

[@jjss6512]

Which is better this or the 250?

[@LegendLiftService]

9:39 *drive wheel guide:* 🪩Aluminum➡️ “U” wheel, u0.9 is .35 and u1.2 is .40 🦈MIG (using gas)➡️ Knurled wheel 0.8 for .30 and 0.9 for .35 🐤FLUX CORE ➡️Smooth wheel 0.8 for .30 and 0.9 for .35

[@gerardjones7881]

nope, thats wrong. knurled wheel for flux wire. smooth wheel for mig wire.

[@RussC123]

Looking into this one as a first machine, for learning, garage use, repairs, etc. Couple questions: - what is the advantage of having both 110V and 220V as your input? - For flux core welding does it allow you to independently adjust the amperage and wire speed, or is it like a pre-set type of thing based on the thickness of the metal you’re working on?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

The advantage of 220v is welding thicker material, I personally only weld with 220v, unless I am somewhere where 220v is not available. With fluxcore or solid wire, you can make changes to your settings. Keep in mind that with Fluxcore, this unit wire size will set at .035 no matter if you are using .030 or .035 Fluxcore.

[@AllenReid-ii4oy]

What is the cheapest welder I can get for a first timer. My daughter wants to weld in mig style

[@shoe187lb]

Can I use tri mix gas (95 He, 7.5 Ar, 2.5 CO2) to weld stainless steel ,304, with this welder?

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

Can you mig weld with .023 wire?

[@stimulatemyexistence5669]

What welding wire should i get?

[@pincher111]

Where you using 110 or 220 in this video

[@skylarmeunier2706]

So is it worth it? I’ve only seen the 3-1 205 ds and it’s isn’t black it’s light blue

[@YesWelder]

Hi Skylar! That blue one is the old color for our MIG205DS, we have changed this recently to black. :)

[@harbaughsworkshop]

The MIG205DS has two colors; one is blue, and the other is green. Now only green is available on the online YesWelder website store. The one shown in the video is the Mig205DS-B is an upgraded version of the MIG205DS. The difference between the two is welding aluminum.

[@denzilcypret742]

YESWELD tells me that both 205DS and 205DSB are black and that the letter B does not appear anywhere on the cabinet or the Oct 2022 PDF manual download. If a unit is black and has the spool feed switch inside, there is NO difference and they can weld aluminum. So if it's black and marked MIG 205DS, it is the same as the MIG 205DS-B . Go figure! Took a lot of effort to get this info from them.

[@dewaynegilbert5293]

If order the Yes 205DS from amazon will it come with everything you received. I know I will have to get the wire. Thx

[@dansoltis6426]

Is that 220 adaptor a 30 amp?

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

My machine fan does not run all the time, is that normal?

[@flexo.__]

Yes

[@oiygfdxssfgg]

@@flexo.__ I got a replacement welder under warranty due to the fan not running, the new replacement welder fan runs all the time as it should. Thanks

[@TheSHOP411]

I just bought this unit and the manual is wrong on how to change out the liner. If you follow it, you will destroy it. Also, the retaining cap for the liner is plastic screwing into brass. It will strip out way to easily. I will have a video coming out soon showing this but you glassed over changing out the liner and it is not so easy. I've seen videos on changing out the liner on the 200 pro but none with the 205 ds-b. The big difference being the retaining nut and the collet for the graphene liner. The retaining nut being plastic is horrible. And the manual tells you to cut the line flush with the retaining nut. Don't do it. You have to leave the amount of tubing that equals the guide rod you have to remove to use aluminum. I'm also having issues with the tension rod and the guide wheel for aluminum. Anyway, not many people would use the traditional mig gun for aluminum, but I wanted to do it, and it isn't wonderful.

[@donheckman8352]

I have the 205 ds-b model and do you have any idea why the black roller knob would be backing off

[@EricK-dq7hu]

Check to make sure you have woodruff key still in shaft.

[@desiinergaming549]

Can you tig aluminum with it

[@kirkblee5853]

No, it's dc tig only.

[@brucewalters8974]

I think that where this video is supposedly put out by Yeswelder, that their lack of replies to customer questions might be a good indicator of what their follow-up customer service might tell you...I've seen lots of questions, but none answered by Yeswelder... Piss poor customer service...

[@jackantoine5185]

Does this come the gas regulator?

[@harbaughsworkshop]

No, you have to purchase the regulator separately

[@Mark-079er]

obviously you work for yse

[@Mark-079er]

fyi, i did give you a like

[@gerardjones7881]

only saw fluxcore demo, not mig. very cursory demo. why bother.

[@Mark-079er]

No problem, but i don't like and subscribe til i finish seeing the video. Not sure how anyone could?
