YESWELDER205A Tig Welder with Pulse Large LED Display, STICK/DC TIG/PULSE TIG 3 In 1, 110&220V Dual Voltage TIG Welding Machine TIG-205P

This welder is a solid choice for beginners looking to practice and learn the ropes. While the ground, stinger, and power cord are a bit short, it gets the job done effectively. I've successfully run it on both a 240 on a 30 amp breaker and 120 on a 20 amp breaker, with decent results. The TIG function works well and serves as a good starter kit.To enhance your welding experience, consider investing in extra consumables like gas screens and wide cups for freehand welding. It's also worth getting a pedal for added control. Despite its minor shortcomings, this welder offers a good platform for practice and skill development, especially considering the great deal I snagged it for at $260. Highly recommend for those starting out in welding!

I really wanted to love the TIG-205P Pro. For the price, it offers impressive features, clean arc starts, and easy controls — everything I was looking for in a light TIG welder.Unfortunately, after only 2 hours of use, the stock ground clamp cable melted and completely severed at the connection point. This wasn’t due to misuse — I was running well within the machine’s capabilities. Upon inspection, the included cable is only 16mm² (roughly #5 AWG), which seems undersized for a machine rated to output 200+ amps. Combine that with what appears to be a poor or loose internal connection at the clamp, and the result is overheating, melted insulation, and a failed cable.This is more than an inconvenience — it’s a serious safety concern. I’ve reached out to Yeswelder directly and am hopeful they’ll make it right by sending a properly rated ground cable and addressing this flaw in future builds.If the grounding issue is resolved, this would be a solid 5-star machine. But until then, I strongly recommend replacing the ground cable and clamp immediately if you buy this unit.Update: After posting my initial review, Yeswelder customer service reached out promptly and offered to send a replacement ground clamp, no hassle. They explained that the failure was likely caused by poor contact between the clamp and the workpiece, which can cause overheating due to high current flow — a fair point.I still believe the included ground cable may be undersized for a machine capable of over 200 amps and will update again if that proves to be true.That said, customer service was excellent, and I appreciate their support!

So I am new to Tig. The advertisement of "Aluminum tig welder" for the square wave sold me. However, you don't need it to weld aluminum. I wish I knew that before I purchased it .I did however find using a foot pedal to control the heat makes things way easier. I purchased the yeswelder 5 pin foot pedal as well.I have been practicing for only a few hours. Took a while to understand how hot is too hot. I watched a bunch of videos online and found out having a pedal is the only way to go if you are learning.I used 3/32 blue tungsten at first and I ended up going to 1/8 for easier use. It's hard going from flux core MiG to Tig. Tig requires you to keep the arc at a specific height and don't pull the torch away like MiG. It's fun to learn new things! Way worth the challenge for sure. Will I be a pro? No. But I learned something and can add a new ability to my garage.Welder pros:This welder has a lot of features like adjustable upslope, downslope and frequency along with square wave, balance, pre flow and post flow. Much more than I'd ever need.Welding some aluminum plate, I was able to do some basic start and stop exercising and really trying to learn how to control my hand. The welder really is amazing.You really need to understand the process of it and just play around with it. For amps, I started off too high. Frequency I started off too low. My post flow wasn't long enoughh. After realizing I was burning through the aluminum I lowered the amps to about 50 and then I was able to not burn through. Again, controlling it with the foot pedal is best because you can see the weld pool and adjust your foot and cool it down or heat it up.My settings for 1/8 aluminum (AC)60 amps ( max, controlled by pedal)Pre flow .5Frequency 120Post flow 5.5Tungsten 3/32 blueArgon 15 CFH#8 gas diffuserThe frequency is cool. You can tighten up the arc cone and make the arc really tight or smaller with a higher frequency. Really cool!Overall I'm pretty happy with this machine. I hope it lasts.Cons:The manual. No settings guide other than titanium. It doesn't even explain what each of the settings do. Just basic definition of the settings.I don't like how large to torch is. It is huge, like a MiG torch. Also the torch is an all in one. No separate line for the lead and gas.*I ordered a different torch and new hose. It is way better than the one that comes with the machine.I don't like the cheap push buttons for the various settings. I wish it had an LCD like other machines.It didn't come with a gas regulator.It didn't come with any tungsten.

Works as intended the ground, stinger, and power cord are short. In my experience running 240 on a 30 amp breaker works 120 on 20 amp breaker works for half a rod at 80 on the welder. The tig works and is a good starter kit. I would suggest getting some extra consumables with some of those being the gas screens and wide cups for freehand. Good for practice and you can get a petal which is a separate thing so you can learn to use that as well. All in all it is a nice welder to practice and learn with especially for the 260 dollar deal I got it for.

I wanted to learn how to start tig welding for sheet metal work on my restoration project. For the price you cant beat it, and so far everything seems to work great. Still trying to get the hang of it but its a perfect learner machine.
