ARCCAPTAINTIG Welder AC/DC 200Amp with Pulse, Aluminum TIG Welder 110V/220V TIG Welder with Square/Triangular Wave/Stick/MMA/Spot 7 in 1 MultiProcess Welding Machine

The ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welder 200A is a fantastic dual-voltage machine! It handles TIG, Stick, and Arc welding smoothly with a clear LED display. The 2T/4T function and included tungsten electrode make it user-friendly. Great performance on both 110V and 220V—highly recommended for pros and hobbyists!

It works

The media could not be loaded. This is an awesome little AC/DC TIG welder! As a beginner TIG welder myself, I've been really impressed by how easy the welder is to setup and use. ARCCAPTAIN includes basicallly everything you need to get welding right out of the box. The only things you'll need to add are your argon gas bottle, PPE equipment, filler rods, and some additional tungsten electrodes. The included torch consumables for the WP-26 torch are fine for getting started but I'd definitely recommend getting a stubby collet/gas lens kit to make the overall torch more compact and give yourself a few larger cup sizes for increased shielding gas coverage. ARCCAPTAIN even offers such a kit. I really like the on-demand cooling fan of this welder. It's much nicer than listening to the fan endless spin away even when the welder isn't being used.The TIG200P ACDC offers a lot of user controls without being too overwhelming for a beginner like myself. It probably doesn't have as many advanced arc control features as a much more expensive unit, but that is probably actually better for someone just starting out. You still get full control of all standard TIG parameters (pre/post flow time, starting/ending current, ramp up/down time), plus pulse functionality, and the option of doing AC welding with square or triangular wave (AC balance and frequency adjustable). These settings alone will be enough to keep me busy for a long time as I learn the art of TIG welding.ARCCAPTAIN offers a separate foot pedal controller for the unit and I suggest picking it up if you want to have pedal control of the amperage. The pedal/torch trigger interface connector on the welder is a XS12 series aviation connetor which I have not seen used before on any other welding brand so finding an alternative pedal that would be compatible with the ARCCAPTAIN would be difficult unless you're up for modifying the connetor on the cable yourself. The ARCCAPTAIN pedal is a bit large and bulky but it gets the job done fine.Because I'm just learning how to TIG weld and can't provide a fair assesssment of the units performance yet, I took it into my work where we manufacture fluid control equipment for semiconductor fab tools. One of our professional welders tested the TIG200P for some stainless steel DC welding and was really impressed by the performance of this welder. For the price point, he agreed this is definitely the best budget friendly welder he's ever used and would be great for a beginner like myself or a hobbyist that can't justify spending 2-4X as much money for a unit from the big Blue or big Red brands. I'm really looking forward to continuing to hone my TIG welding skills with this unit and start using it for my automotive restoration and other hobby projects.

This is a great machine. I additionally purchased the foot pedal and as a whole this welder is an excellent value for someone that welds occasionally or a beginner that wants to learn how to weld

Es buen producto me llegó completo y a tiempo

This tig welder is one of the worst tig welders i have ever used at this price point, i am very disappointed with the arc welding and tig welding capabilities of this welder. There are really bad instructions with the welder and some of the options are left out such as spot tig welding and very little about arc welding, which rods to use, is it dc mma or ac mma. overall i wish i could send it back but the window has expired. I asked questions before i bought it and after i bought it, no response in three weeks, then finally a very vague explanation of things i already know after 40 years of welding. The argon gas hose leaks really bad and Amazon just wanted to replace the entire machine for just the hose leaking, so i reached out to arccaptain to replace this hose and the hose on the mig 200 i bought too, they both leak. A whole week of messages and no replaced hoses. I am going to buy my own hoses to finish testing both machines. I may just send the mig 200 back. If this is how i am going to be treated about a leaking hose then the warranty may not mean anything at all, 3 or 5 year ???????????????????

This product looks good, but it's a little bit not very user-friendly!

The welder is great and works as advertised. However, it was packaged at the factory with the power cord coiled up under the welder. The cord is a very soft rubber, so it arrived with multiple slices in it from rubbing on the bottom edge of the welder case during shipment. I opted to just hit up the box store for a better cable and plug and rewired it myself. Problem solved, and now I have a longer, heavier gauge cord. Just be prepared to go that route or return the welder and try again with no guarantees the next one arrives any better. AL other cables and accessories were packaged in their own, smaller boxes inside the main box and arrived in good condition.
