- This is my first chance welding with the ARCCAPTAIN TIG 200P...once again impressed by ARCCAPTAIN'S ability to pack big machine performance into such a small unit at a great price.

Just so everyone knows , the pedal has to be bought separately
Great video and review but please wear a respirator when grinding the RED THORIATED tungstens - the dust is radioactive and not good to be in your lungs!! We want ya around for a long while!!
Don’t be that guy
I use a totally poor-azz Hitbox flux core all day every day welding. Wouldn't know what to do with a tig if you hit me with it. If the Hitbox flux core ever dies,I'm buying another or we'd starve. It earns us ALL our money.
I always say that if ya learn to work with what ya got you'll always have everything ya need
I have to say many times hanging off the car lift upside down buy my safety harness welding up a chrome molly 25.5 prostock style roll cage there are so many positions you can't use the peddle tbt it is the only time I actually use the button mine is a qd with a pig tail harness with that being said I wish I could use peddle while upside-down or inside out much better control
Good honest video pal,you pretty much mirrored what i said to them via email way back..an unboxing and a couple of plates stuck together..doesn't show a great deal...
I sure do enjoy your videos. You’re very informative. And yes, I wish you could’ve put it through its paces doing one of your jobs but thanks again for the video. Good stuff man.
Thanks! Appreciate the video. Look up "on fire welding " on RUclips, he uses the arccaaptain tig machine in one of his last few videos.
Thank you
Nice job on the videos! Even without doing real work, you did a great job on these small plates! Hope it will be useful for your future TIG work.
Nice review! Your work is very similar to mine in that I almost never need to TIG. As a result, I’ve owned a TIG machine since 2015 and still don’t know how to use it. I do okay on carbon and stainless steel but aluminum baffles me. I often MIG weld aluminum though. Seems I never have time to sit down and get aluminum TIG figured out which is frustrating when the rare job comes around where TIG would be the best process.
U surely can buy the welder all day. But tht belt buckle u all can’t wear one. Tht is reserved only for the badasses tht make Momma bear & cubs think twice tuck tail and run.
I see nothing but good things about these machines. I'm anxious to see a review after a year or so of regular use to see how they're holding up. They have great features, I'm just curious about longevity.
Haha yea I’ve got the tig 200 base model, it’s not ac/ dc machine just dc I’m assuming, and just like you, me messing with tig welding wouldn’t last long and I wud jump over to stick welding too lol. That was the first machine I got my buddy gave me. Then I ordered the mig 200, which I love. And just today I finally gots me a plasma cutter and of course I went ahead and got the cut 50 ARCCAPTAIN and thus far I’m a big fan
I think they must of changed the cord situation, when I got my mig200 the cord was 220 and had a lil whip to use 120 , so they do listen to ppls reviews
ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welder 200P vs PRIMEWELD TIG225X. Which one is better? I see you have both
I've found advantages and disadvantages to both...I go over all of that in detail in my videos
Think u done as good as I've seen great job ,I'm like you old school stick an mig mostly heavy welding keep the videos comming
I grind the back of that TIG cap off and then I can slide new tungsten in through the back and length doesn’t matter as long as you don’t bump the back side when it’s long.
Cool idea...I'll try that on one of them...thank you 👍
I never use long tungsten allway cut in half make my life easy
See man, I’m practicing welding beads all the time, and that 5/32 bead you dropped looks flawless. I can’t ever weld a bead even close to that shit man and it’s frustrating as hell
Do it all day every day for a few decades and it gets easier...stick with it you'll get it lookin better
I just posted a response to you on another thread showing you my latest project I did last night, check that one out it’s me using the flux core 120volt machine which I haven’t really even used in a long time but it was at the shop and I know that things strong if she’s turned up good and biting into the metal right so I gave her a whirl and seemed to do ok. I put like 3 beads on top of each other grinding them out some in between each pass, and then a double stringer bead like just around the edges and it came out ok I guess. Compared to the booger nationals I was at last year when I got it and first tried welding I’m doing a ton better I think. But let me know your thoughts
I bought an ArcCaptain Tig200p. Nice machine.
Thanks for the support.
Good choice!
@arccaptain-weld can you adjust the AC frequency on the 200p?
Yes
@@ajallison90 Certainly, to adjust the AC frequency on the 200p, you can access the AC Frequency mode by repeatedly pressing the knob on the right side. AC frequency which means how many times per second the polarity will change. I f you are welding thin material you should have higher AC frequency somewhere between 150 and 250 HZ this gives you more accurate welding Arc and you can have faster travel speed if you are welding thicker materials you should use lower AC frequency somewhere from 80 to 120 HZ
Thank you for the review!
thanks for the demonstration
CB, Your ArcCaptain Mig 200 review was more "hands on".....but this was a good intro to the Tig 200. I purchased a Mig 200 because of your review.
A few random comments:
I realize that this is a "test" of the equipment you were sent; but it'll improve your welding to use a stubby gas lense (moreso on steel/stainless, but also on AL).
I wouldn't want that switch on the torch all the time (& I assume that it's (On/Off, rather than amperage controlling.....but one of my most common Tig uses for AL, is welding on flat bottom river boats; in some *very* awkward positions occasionally, in which a foot pedal isn't handy. An amperage controlling button would be ideal.
I have a Tigbutton on my Primeweld that is amperage controlling and it would work well for the work your doing in odd positions...unfortunately I don't think that a Tigbutton is currently being offered to work with the ARCCAPTAIN
Thats an old DeWalt drill 😅
It's ok, I had my 18v hammer/drill till the brushes died and used the excuse to upgrade the rest of my DeWalt to 20v
Had that drill for a long time
Better than tv
Thank you
Hi,as previously stated good honest no faf just as it is,how's the new cat doing not seen him her take care regards from Scotland 👍🏴🇬🇧⚒️

Tina noticed that you said "new" cat...probably meaning Ralph...when I first saw the comment I assumed too quickly that you were asking about Miss Diane
Ralph is doing good...he's not in the shop alot like Diane always was but he's around
I’d love to see you try to butt weld some thin .040 or .050 3003 H14 sheet aluminum. I can get my ArcCaptain 200p to weld everything except butt welding very thin sheet aluminum.
I just have not been able to get the settings right to keep from blowing through the 050 I’m trying to weld.
The closest setting I used on 050 aluminum butt welds that seems to be best is 50a, pulsing from 20a, 1.00hv, pulse time 30%, 150 AChz, 35% balance, triangular wave, 1/16 tungsten.
Try a 1.5% lanthanated tungsten, sharpen it around 60 degrees. Set the machine in a 75% 90hz 160amp wide open and a 20amp start up and use the pedal. A back purge greatly improves your success rate
@@samuelsnyder5169thank you for the info. I’ll give those settings a try. 160amp is definitely something I haven’t tried yet with that thin aluminum.
So you recommend foot pedal with no pulse, correct?
The 75% you mentioned… you’re referring to the AC balance, right?
Thanks for the support. And try to set the cleaning width to 25-30 and sharpen the tungsten.
Just welded some .060 wall tubing...haven't come across any aluminum thinner than that to try just yet but I'll keep a lookout for it around here

Great video.
First off, good health, prosperity and long life to you and yours. Whatever works for maintaining your health and fitness; go for it. As for the tig and stick welding demo, thanks for being straight up as to your skill set at present. The welding trade is as diverse as the colors of light emulating from a prisim. Each shop and weldor is proficient in the methods used most often. Enjoyed this video for it's content. I appreciate you taking your valuable time and resources to put together this very informative video. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍
wouldn't do that switch is handy
hard to use a foot switch when standing
I didn't throw the switch away or set fire to it...I just took it off the torch knowing that I was gonna use the foot petal for my use
