Weld, watch, weld, watch. So many pieces of information in Jody’s videos. I’m sure has been said before, but going through trial and error and then watching these videos it really starts to click. Thank you once again Jody.
Hello Jody, this video came at an appropriate time! I been away from welding for almost a year due to health issues and working toward getting back in to the swing of things. So your video will be right there as a guide! I'm using my HTP 221 Invertig welder that should allow me to use all your suggested settings! Thanks for a great video and keep up the great work!
I demo'd this machine a few years back at my local Norco when it was first announced. Good smooth running machine and it is very high value for what you're paying. I'm still a Miller guy through and through though. Dynasty 210 is my current machine.
Fantastic thank you! No mistaking a true authority in action! Talk is cheap, only a legit authority can change words to those proverbial pearls of wisdom. Legit authority in action can be life changing, your demos make me a far better more confident welder. Darn it, once again it would seem I am in the only debt worth havin...shoot gotta warn ya I will prolly be the rest of my life paying ya back lol
Welded for long time but had to quit - eyes giving out. It sure has changed in the last 15 years since I last struck an arc. Enjoy your videos and will keep watching. Still miss the smell of those 7018 - 24 rods though.....have a safe day.
I’m sure with a nice new true view auto darkening helmet and the right glasses or contacts what ever you prefer you could get back on the torch my dude , even just for a hobby
Good to see a quality video on this machine, I've been looking at it as an upgrade to my eastwood, it's been a good machine to learn on but I've found myself wanting better arc control with increasing regularity
@@NemesisRTCW Sure enough it is a rebrand and prettied up jasic wsme-200 Tig welder. Looks like CK made some slight changes with jasic on the connector choices but it's insane they're charging $2000+ for a machine that's sub $500.
I have to say having watched your videos for quite a number of years now.. the photography and arc shots are way superior to those of a couple of years ago. Have you upgraded your equipment?
Have a nice day from Hungary! This video was very helpful to me! Attention and I like your other videos. I can't wait to learn the following! Good health, good day!
i have the orange jasic version , straight from the factory .... which is identical to the re branded mt200 ( i've had both apart ) . it is a very good machine , but the only draw back is the low duty cycle
Have you ever use the primeweld 225 trig I would love to see your throughs I would love you to do a demo on that machine See you use it for a while and your opinions I personally think it's got great ark a nice machine for money . Have you any opinion on that machine
Tiene muy buena pinta ésa maquina,los cordones se ven perfectos,pero para un maestro como usted es fácil,los comentarios no los comprendo,no habló inglés,POR FAVOR SUBTÍTULOS EN ESPAÑOL, MUCHAS GRACIAS,un saludo cordial y por supuesto un gran like desde Narón, Galicia ( España)
I really like the specs on the MT200. It is advertised with a 3 year warranty. However, that warranty only covers "3 year warranty on transformers, inductor and rectifier". "1 year warranty on PCB and all other components". That is right out of their owner's manual. Too bad CK Worldwide doesn't have very much faith in the reliability of their welder. Sorry, but that is a deal killer for me......
Looks like a decent welder, better then the Lincoln that doesn’t allow you to change the post gas setting As for aluminum hole filling, had quite the task, the guy drilled a stud out and wandered off the side almost all the way down to the bottom of a 2” hole for the wheel stud. Only a 5/16” drill hole but a pain to get into
I've not tackled/attempted tig yet, so I'm inserting a dumb question here... don't you need heat for penetration? If you don't bring at least some heat how do you get a good solid weld? (travel speed) Or is it not too much heat for the appearance? Why not 2-3 stringers at high freq? Just mig now and then, and a little stick years and years ago. (still looking for a inexpensive machine to start with) I do wish I knew half of what Jody knows.
So which Chinese machine did they redo the controls on, can you tell? Reminds me of a alpha tig that just has new knobs and bold new graphics. I’d be curious if the boards have parts and model numbers on them. I’m a fan of their torches but this unit has a steep price tag and something tells me this welder is not built specifically to top standards. With most top end Chinese units having digital displays and multi processes I don’t feel like this unit is worth the money.
I suspect the effect of adjusting the frequency setting is more a function of the dead-time of switching devices in the welder than anything else. Skin effects wouldn't really show up at these low frequencies.
Jody I’ve been watching Japanese and Chinese welders using cold tig. Have you ever used it or have experience with it. It does not use a constant arc it pulses very hot and fuses metal together with out rod.
At the 5 min mark, Jody is welding a stubby SS pipe fitting. I noticed he had no need to screw in a temporary NPT elbow or any other pipe fitting to prevent the welded fitting from warping. Would it be best to do that?
Jodie I purchased a Lincoln Aspect 230 with a water cooler I need some pointers and would like to see a demo if it is possible. I trust your opinion. Dan Becker
Great channel. Need some advice. Have a new CIG 220I mig.....welds great but wont hold its settings....wire feed and voltage jump sky high mid weld, then just touch the dial and they revert to where they were set. Problem machine or problem operator do you think?
11:26 With My Tig electrodes tip, it gets black and round balls occur, don't know why this happens. My welding machine has no ac frequency setting as well.
Hi Jody. You always have some great content. Would tou recommend this machine for a beginner? I have a small landscaping business and would like to use it fix some tools and cracks on trailers, steel and aluminum. Thank You! Keep the great job!
What camera are you using to record the welding shots? We wanted to do something similar in our metals fab classes but are not sure which type of camera we should be using. Thank you
I think it's funny on the pulse frequency knob they give the top 75% of the knob that no one ever uses, the most resolution, but the bottom 25% where most everyone is gonna hang out, you get like 2 or 3 numbers....from 0-16 it's like 10 degrees of rotation lol....they need to make it the opposite...0-16 is half the knob travel ...then the rest lol
hi jody, i have a weld test coming up. overhead t fillet with stick 10mm plate thickness 7018 rods. what amps would you recommend to use? the welding rods size are 3.2mm
Are you an instructor at that school in Acworth? I live in Woodstock and hear about it all the time. How would you compare this machine to a Miller of the same size? I've not heard of these yet. Thank you
Hello do you have any videos for welding 16 gauge exhaust pipe? Sorry you just have alot of videos so I'm trying to get a short cut to get to it if you do lol thanks great videos
Hello. First off I love your video's . My question is Jodie .I am using a CK17 FL torch head air cooled. I would like to buy one of your #10 cups and or adapters for doing stainless. And a finger guard.
hey jody thanx for always sharin your experctise and expieriance , so hey now i own a few furick brand cups off multiple sizes etc, and when they come in the mail theres a lil tiny paper in there where it states "not recomended for 'ac' use". now do you follow that suggestion or can u tig aluminum with furicks pyrex cups? thx buddy
Guys im looking for an advice, namely I want to learn TIG welding, right now I weld with sticks. I want to know what TIG welder will be the best for learning, Im from Europe, i think that matters, because we have different currents. Thanks for all advices
Depends on what type of metal you wish to weld. If you're only doing steel, you could get an adapter for your stick welder (assuming it's DC) that would let you use a TIG torch or a cheaper machine such as an Amico tig welder (reviews are pretty positive, no personal experience). If you want to do aluminum, the units that come to mind are the AHP 201DX and the Primeweld 225. The AHP comes with a nice TIG torch (and pedal now iirc). The Primeweld has a bit more power and a better interface. Most EU power is 220/240V from what I understand which is good. It's hard for me to give exact advice not knowing your goals and budget. Hope this helps some.
im some what new to tig ive been welding mig for awhile and i dont ever plan on doing stick with it but would you recommend this to a first time tig user/first owner of a tig?
I'd love for Jodie to try out R-Tech product range. As i now bought a Mig180 and have nothing but issues with settings, has an LCD display but only displays the Amps whilst in use (pointless)They rave about them being "British Made" yet i've seen identical machine 'imig' so i bought in to their BS
R-Tech aren't British made, and are remarkably similar to Everlast over in the US; I've spoken to R-Tech about the similiarity and they do share much of the supply chain but the circuitry and IGBT gubbins that R-Tech specifiy is different and enhanced.
Yeah, I notice it more on larger, thick weldments with long runs. Any kind of structure that has a significant length will exaggerate this effect, so it’s important to pay close attention to how it may be responding to the heat. That’s one perspective, anyway.
I used the foot pedal. I only set the machine to 40 amps because i used pulse settings of about 40pps and higher speed pulse requires more amps. I still wasnt even half way on the foot pedal
Ok, thanks Jody! I have another question. You did a pulse mig (GMAW-P) video welding some sort of gantry rig, my question is about machine settings, not trim or inductance, but amp settings. What have you picked up about machine settings compared to short arc? Is 1 amp per thousands still where we start? There is little reference out there on pulse mig today! Everlast 253DPI Any other tips would be welcome! By the way, any suggestions on an affordable weld camera? I would like to be able to review my welding to improve my craft!

Hey I have a question, I’m not seeing anywhere a recommended CFH on cup/collet/lens sizes for any torch style. Is there such a document in existence? Thanks in advance; Andrew
It really all depends on the application, my general purpose settings though are a #12 cup with 16-20 cfh and 3/32 2% lanthinated tungsten, and depending on what I'm doing ill move between a 9 or 17 torch based on space/amperage requirements, for aluminum I sharpen it like normal then blunt the tip down so it doesn't burn out too quickly
here is a simple rule of thumb that might help.. 2 to 3 CFH per cup number. so for example a #5 cup would use 10-15 cfh but it also depends on the situation.
weldingtipsandtricks I agree and that wasn’t the best worded question I’ve ever composed. Of course shielding gas, material, and arc characteristics, welding environment etc. also influence this decision. Perhaps a topic for a video one day? Thanks for your swift reply. Andrew
