I was welding before high school, now 75. Got stick, MIG and gas welders in the shop. It may not be rocket science, but it does take some attention to detail and to safety. I took an EAA TiG course several year ago taught by the Lincoln rep who made money on the side by welding up Inconel exhaust for INDY car turbo systems. Doing TiG correctly takes way more than just a $352 unit.

I weld a good bit for stuff which has to stay together. If it's not Miller, Lincoln or comparable (if there is comparable) I'm not wasting my money on it. I've seen lots of "inexpensive" welders which either don't work long or have no parts/service. I look at these low priced things all the time seeking one which is modestly priced but still works. Haven't found that yet.

If you want TiG, budget about 3 grand for a start. You need a foot control high frequency welder, a GOOD gun, a dedicated grinder with a wheel used only for sharpening the
TiG tips and a work area clean of contaminants.

Now, MIG isn't nearly that demanding, but you still need grinders, cutting tools, aprons, GOOD helmet(s), gloves, etc.

110V welders are good for sheet medal and that's about it as they're limited to maybe 110-120 amps. You must have 220V and preferably 50 amp service if you're going to weld much. Otherwise you're better off finding a good welding shop near you and having them do it right. I still use a welding shop for heavy work or aluminum.

As an analogy, I have two lathes, two mills and two drill presses in my shop. But I still use a "real" machine shop for heavy work.

Welding can be fun and you can learn to do it well. But it's not entirely trivial and you will have to spend quite a bit more that $350 to even begin to do it poorly not to mention well.
At least a welding TikTok challenge might make it cool to go into trades, which is sadly lacking in the US for the past few decades.

Next up: "Bruh replaces R-134a in mom's car A/C and recaptures 100% BLINDFOLDED!"

Nobody can do anything to hurt Americans more than we hurt ourselves.
Read a comment on Amazon suggesting they will not honor warranty claims if purchased from Amazon. Might want to look into that

Man that YESWELDER MP200 for $720 would be really nice if it had a foot pedal and wasn't lift arc.

Quote from Database00 :
I currently have a Lincoln hd 140 mig welder and I have welded alot with it and just debate on learning tig or if this would be a big upgrade to my current setup?
I would save for a better machine that can do AC TIG (something like a Lincoln Squarewave 200). Even investing in a spoolgun for your MiG would be more versatile than this thing.

MIG (with gas) is a very good process and you can get very nice looking welds. Flux core is OK but likely gives you less that great looking welds (but they can still be very strong).

TIG is great but you'll likely hate TIG wellding so much with this cheap unit that you'll just go back to using your existing MiG unit.

I purchased an aluminum spool gun but have not used it yet. I currently weld with argon mix. I sort of hate flux core. Didn't know what other spool gun would do for my setup. already has the spool in the welder.

It's takes time and practice but YouTube has actual training videos from replicable sources on it's platform. Look around and you will find what you need. Always remember electricity can kill you dead!
A newbie, such as myself, will not know who is teaching this the correct way. Any chance a few of more experienced folks might link some good beginner classes on Youtube?

A spool gun is generally required to mig weld aluminum since the aluminum wire is too flexible to push feed through 8' of tubing. For welding steel, there's really no benefit of a spool gun. With proper technique, you can get mig aluminum welds that look almost identical to tig welds.

If you're gonna weld aluminum, don't use C25 mix, use Argon or Argon/Helium mix.

I agree, flux core isn't my favorite but it's ok for field welding when shielding gas is not feasible. Quality of weld is good but appearance is mediocre at best.

Bought a Yeswelder 165DS almost a year ago. Well worth the $100, Yeswelder shipped free and no sales tax from their web site.

Is this comparable to the Harbor Freight OmniPro 220?

Those Lincoln tombstones are no longer cheap when new. Now about $400, instead of buying two machines, I would add the money towards a better welder.

Yeah but they're virtually unkillable, nab a used one for $100

Hey for you experienced welders I have a question: I frequently start a project but must hang it up for a period (sometimes over the winter), often times it's just tack welded to get the geometry right with the intention of laying the bead later when all is ok. Can you recommend your tips for "weld thru primer" or maybe another cheap trick that allows one to grind the surface clean, Prime, tack and then endure a long period of delay before resuming with the bead? I've seen copper or aluminum based specialty paints what do you recommend or are there other short cuts?

This deal has been going for the last two weeks or so. I have this exact welder and am very satisfied so far. Super versatile for the price.

It depends, the harbor freight one comes with a 90 day warranty.

I wouldn't call myself an expert, but a good answer is picklex 20.
I've used it sort of for the same situation.

Just a side note - I haven't seen so elitist comments like a few ones in this thread since I stopped visiting some ham boards where there has always been that one guy insisting that anyone without a transceiver worth $$$$ had no place on air and should've just abandoned the hobby right away if the only thing he had was a cheapo pocket radio bought off amazon. Kind of similar comments here that would just discourange young people from the hobby/trade... Sad.

On a somewhat serious note, any similar models to look at? A decade ago back in the other country (where 220v is a standard voltage) I had a small noname inverter stick welder that served me very good in a rural area with some minor backyard repairs/projects. Would this one be a good versatile choice or should I rather look at Harbor Freight's Titanium multi-process one (which is unfortunately closer to $900 in price...) to have MIG/stick/TIG?

Thanks!
