Stick Welding Pipe with the YesWelder MIG 250 PRO 

I appreciate the comment and thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! That is a very nice machine IMO. I think you're really going to like it!

Thank you

One of my favorite YesWelder machines is the TIG 250P. It's small and light but powerful enough to weld anything I need to weld. It also has a temp controlled fan so it's not screaming the whole time it's on. I really like it's smooth and stable low amperage arc. YesWelder has some nice discounts being offered at the moment so it's a good time to pick one up if you're serious about getting one. You may also be able to get a 10% discount buy using the code DIYHP10% at checkout if the machine you want is not on sale. I am a sub to your channel and I really like your build videos. Nice work!

Thanks again Mark! It's definitely not easy for me. I always feel like I need more practice. :)

Thank you Rod, I appreciate that!

I prefer the YesWelder TIG 250P AC/DC. I really like the digital control interface over all the control pots. I'm also a big fan of the temperature controlled fan over the constant loud fans of the PW.

I used 120 amps and 6 on the inductance. I show the settings I used in this short video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5HDDUYhCRP0.html

Yes you can run 6013 on this welder. You can run many different sizes and types of rods on this welder. Most if not all stick welders will run a 6013 rod including this machine.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 thanks for the help. Appreciate it. Love your videos👍

Thank you for the support Mike, I appreciate it. I wish you the best with your welding ventures.

Something is NOT right! Today I did some testing on this machine with a calibrated DC amp meter. On stick welding mode the max this machine would go to is 193amps.. Even though the display said 225 which is the max it will go to on stick mode. Now thats plenty for say a 5/32nd 7018. Then on MIG mode for Aluminum (synergy) it will go to 210A (display says 250). But on all the steel modes, even manual mode the welder will only do in the 175 to 180Amp range. Now if you want to weld thicker steel you might be able weld on the AL(s) mode with 210A, but adjust the voltage bias. Strange behaviour. I also had a Tooliom welder 250-TL and its pretty clear these are exactly the same welder in a different case because it behaves the same way.

Thanks Rod. I'm not aware of a CV setting in the stick mode with this machine. I just had the machine set on stick mode and ran the welds.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 I only asked because you used a mig welder to run stick. MIG welders us cc or cv. Just thought I'd ask if you could change from CV to CC for stick?

Oh I understand now. I guess technically this is a "multi process" machine and not MIG only machine. My impression is it is primarily a MIG machine but it will also do TIG and MMA as well. Sorry, I didn't mean to mislead you.

I think I may need to change the thumbnail so it's more accurate.

@@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 No need just looked it up. Your good it's a power source for multiple applications. Great for diy projects. For a 60% duty cycle it's a nice little machine . Welds good. Keep up the good work

Thanks I appreciate that

Interesting, I was just thinking about his channel a couple of days ago. Thanks for the link! Do you know what happened to his other channel?

They have scaled back on the homestead, they are more into camping and other things , he has alot of welding vids.I think the new channel is better.

Nice, I'll have to check it out.
