Thank you very much for putting this video together, I know it takes a lot of work to do all of this and it is greatly appreciated.
A very comprehensive and well done production!
Nice to see someone that knows what they are doing!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate your nice comment. Be safe and have a great day
Most these people do these reviews and talks like everyone knows all about the product their interested in. Its nice to see someone talk like their looking and learning the product like someone watching threw the screen. Most so focused on what they want they dont bother thinking about anybody else thought process.
Thank you for the feedback.
I’m brand new to welding as well as many other commenters here. And I had many questions about this welder, especially what bearing to use and I couldn’t really find anything. Then RUclips recommended me your video and now all my questions are answered. Thank you for the long and detailed video it helps a lot!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment. Be safe and have a great day
I AM 84 YEARS OLD, YOU ARE THE ONLY PERSON THAT MENTIONED THE PROPER COOLING OF THE WELD BEFORE REMOVING THE SLAG TO PROTECT THE WELD. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE! GENIUS, ARE YOU A TEACHER, IF NOT YOU SHOULD BE! LOL, THANK YOU FOR A VERY GOOD VIDEO !
Thank you sir, I really appreciate your comment and very nice words. Be safe and have a great evening
Salam! Excellent review on this Yeswelder. I've been looking for an affordable welder and have been researching welders. Your video has been very informative and YES, I will be buying this welder. Thank you very much. I have subscribed to your channel
Thank you sir, I appreciate your comment and support. Be safe and Merry Christmas
Awesome video! I just bought one of these welders and your video helped tremendously!
Thank you, I appreciate your feedback.
Best review I've seen for that kind of welder. Very good job. Thanks very much
Thank you, I appreciate your nice comment.
@@SalamSayhood Have you tried aluminum welding with the special liner provided? (no spoolgun)
Not on this machine, I tried the Teflon or plastic liners with other brands of mig welders. The spool gun is a better option, however if everything is set correctly, you can mig aluminum ok. You need to make sure to keep the cable as straight as possible, you also need to use thicker aluminum welding wire with the right size U grove roller and right size tip. I hope this answered your question.
@@SalamSayhood all right, thank you !
Thank you very much for the excellent video and passing along the knowledge! Great details that a lot of other videos skip.
Thank you sir, I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for sharing.Multi Process is always welcome. This now gives you many more fabricating / repairing options. I send you and yours all the best.
Thank you brother, I really appreciate your continuous support, my best to you and your family.
Great job!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
Thank you, very nice review.
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
Absolutely fantastic! Thank you for posting!
Thank you, I appreciate your comment.
I love my little YesWelder! Repaired my dump-truck's mirror bracket yesterday. It really works well for someone like me who is learning how to mig weld.
The YESWELDER brand of welding machines is good and affordable. Thank you for the feedback.
Very well explained video, answered all the questions I had about this machine, watched a few videos of this machine and not very well explained. So great job on this presentation. I look forward to seeing more of your video's.
Thank you sir, I appreciate your comment
this is a great video answers many questions i have bookmarked this
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
Salam, Thank you very much for making this review. You did an excellent job. This seems like a very good welder I may have to put it on my list for Christmas.
Yes sir, for the price range and what it can do, it is a great welder. I also used it to weld aluminum and I showed that in another video. Thank you and have a great day
Thanks for all the effort putting this together. Very informative to a novice. I just ordered one of these 205ds-b's today. I have an old Century Powermate 100, a fairly new Chicago Electric 170 mig welder, and an ancient Lincoln "round top tombstone" arc welder ( I think it is an Idealarc 180) that was manufactured in the 1950's I think (it still works!). Needs new cables though. Still using the originals and they are looking scary. Extremely heavy!. I am anxious to try stick welding with DC current when I get this Yeswelder.
Thank you for the comment, I like this welder. It is light weight and it uses less current than the old transformer base welder. I posted a video in the past comparing the transformer based welder and the inverter based welder. If you are interested, please watch it:
ruclips.net/video/QXcJlhat4Fk/видео.html
As a newcomer to welding, I have watched dozens of welding videos. Your video is the most informati ve of all I have viewed. Your presentation included virtually all of the information I need to get started with my new welder which, coincidentally, is a Yeswelder MIG-205DS-B. I particularly appreciated your clear, succinct and to the point style of providing all necessary details without including superfluous information and comments. Thanks for a job well done. I look forward to viewing more of your videos as I try to learn to weld.
Good morning sir, I really appreciate your nice feedback and support. I have a lot of videos regarding welding. If you are a beginner, please watch this video:
ruclips.net/video/ecoQb61ZfTQ/видео.htmlsi=o9QbjFH1DN_oCoxW
I also listed some of my welding projects in the description of that video. Be safe and have a great day
Thanks for the link. You stated that the only upgrade you planned to do on the MIG-205DS-B was to replace the electrode holder as you preferred a larger handle. Other reviewers have almost all recommended upgrading the grounding clamp. Do you have an opinion on that? Also, I would like to be able to run the MIG-205DS-B on 240 volts from my 8750/7000W Inverter generator. Do you have experience using the welder with a generator. If so, do you have an opinion on the feasibility of running the MIG-205DS-B from my generator?@@SalamSayhood
I have a video on my channel reviewing a rod holder. The one I used in the review, I have it on my may welder and it is great. The work clamp, just make sure to get one made completely from copper or brass. I ran my MIG-205DS-B on 5500W generator on 220 and it did great using 0.030" mig wire. I haven't tried it with a stick weld but I am sure it will run 1/8" on 220 just fine.
This is the link for the rod holder review:

Thanks for your prompt follow up. Your input is very helpful.@@SalamSayhood
Excellent! I recently purchased this same welder and had some questions about it-- even after viewing tens of videos and web pages, reading the owners manual, and contacting YesWelder customer support. I think you answered them all. One thing I especially appreciated is that you demonstrated how to pull the wire back through the hose when changing spools... it seems so simple, but you are the only person on the internet (not just on RUclips) who has demonstrated this, none of the web sites mention it when describing how to change spools and people in other videos just cut the wire back at the spool, thus wasting 8 ft of it. All in all, yours is the clearest and most thorough presentation that I've seen. Thanks!
I really appreciate your nice feedback. I don't like to waste materials. The 10' to 15' wire (depending on the torch cable length) can weld a long distance and maybe enough to finish a small project. I have several detailed videos regarding welding if you are interested, please search my channel. Be safe and have a great day
I agree. This is the best video I've watched on the 205DS-B and I've seen a bunch. Every question I had was answered. I particularly liked the information about current draw for both 110 & 220 @ 20 amps and was concerned about tripping breakers. Keep up the great work!
Thank you sir, I appreciate your comment.
Sir, i dont givr likes to the videos but you won one as also a follower. Thanks for your great video
Thank you, I appreciate your comment and support 🙂
Great video! Excellent explantions of each process! I ordered one as a backup to some larger welders I have. Its weight might make it a whole lot easier to carry around.
I appreciate your feedback, I like these inverter welders mostly because of their weight. It is way easier to carry around than transformer welders. Be safe and have a great day
Wow, this is a great video, very detailed. Thank you
Thank you, I appreciate your comment
My pleasure
Fantastic job! I wish I could find someone that would train me as well as your videos teach. The level of detail in your explanation of what your doing is so helpful to someone learning to weld with one of these inexpensive machines. I have watched dozens of videos on the Yeswelder 205ds and the Arccaptain MIG 200, this one is without question the most informative and educational of them all. I have learned so much here. If you are looking to try another machine or maybe just compare it to the competition, please use the Arccaptain MIG 200. I couldn't decide which one to buy. They both seem highly rated and always perform well in these videos. I did buy the Arccaptain MIG 200. My biggest complaint is the settings that are suggested by the manufacturer. They are WAY off. So when you tell us the thickness of the material and then in real time work out the volts amps or speed, and share that with us, it's super helpful because then we have a genuine baseline! Personally, I would like a video with just flux core, starting at say 18 gauge and working up to 1/4 on 220 and working out all the settings in SYN or manual for each. Again, Thank you!
Hello, I appreciate your nice comment. Almost all mig welders have a chart for the suggested settings, please keep in mind the welding machine is depending on the incoming voltage and other factors, if you have voltage drop due to the length and size of wire, frequency, welding wire size and material, type and quality of the shielding gas and many other factors. You will have to fine tune the speed and current/voltage of the welder or correct any issue to achieve good quality weld. I have several other videos about welding. In one video I showed Arc welding for beginners and I also have many projects using flex core. I also reviewed flex core wire. If you have any questions please let me know. Be safe and have a great day
Great review! Have you tried using your fluke meter to test the output current at all? I'm curious if it puts out the amps that it claims.
I thought about recording that when I did the video, however I thought this may make the video too long. Hopefully in the future I will test it. It seems to be very close. Thank you
This was a great review. Thanks. I just wish you'd do a review of the other forty or so welders on Amazon so I can decide which one to buy. 🤔😁
Good afternoon sir, for home shop any type of welder will do as most of them have warranty or allow you to try it and return if you don't like. I like the Yeswelder products. I think their product is fairly priced and so far the yeswelder products have served me well. I appreciate your comment and support. Be safe and have a great day
good video
Thank you
Salam, very detail/nice review. Curious if you can explain your current reading on 110v Stick reading 40 amps on a 20Amp Circuit vs Mig only reading 19 amps on 110v. Thanks again for the review
The 20 amps circuit breaker should have tripped on 30 to 40 amps. I think if the weld bead was longer, then it would trip. I usually use 1/16" welding rods on 110/120v, however I didn't have any at the house when I did this video. Thank you for watching and for the feedback. Be safe and have a great day
I just got this MIG 205DS-B welder and plan to buy the 220 extension cord in either the 20 or 40-foot length, do you suggest I get the 8-gauge or the 10-gauge cable? Thanks in advance.
10 gauge extension cord will be okay with this welder for up to 50 feet. However if you get the 8 gauge, you can have better extension cord and you can use it for bigger welder or plasma cutter if you decide to upgrade in the future.
This machine keeps tripping out breakers at work and I just bought it 🤦🏽♂️ idk what to do
Please provide details if you need help.
What voltage are you connected to 110/220?
What is the breaker size?
What welding process are you doing?
I detailed everything in the video as far as input current readings and the sizes of the breakers.
Did tou use just oxygen for shielding? Im trying weld a 1/4 thick metal super duty bed frame and im not sure what to use for a lasting and strong good weld . Have the same machine you reviewing .
If you are more familiar with ARC welding, then use 7018 welding rods. 1/8" diameter 7018 rod will give you very strong weld and only require the welding machine and rod.
If you want to use the MIG welder, then use mig wire with C25 gas (a mix of argon 75% and CO2 25%) do not use oxygen.
For thin steel weld, you can use the flux core process which doesn't require gas and I detailed that in the video.
I hope this helps.
Be safe and have a great day
@@SalamSayhood actually i purchaed it last week but for some reason it wont spark enough to keept melting just like happened to you with the rod . You had to rise up the amperage. Maybe i need to do the same.
Yes, you have to adjust the current to get easy start and good penetration. If you weld on 120 volt then use 1/16" diameter rod. If you weld on 220 volt then use 1/8" diameter rod.
@@SalamSayhood i have 240volt set up so electrode is better than mig? I was thinking of using my oxygrn tank with mig for that work?
Question, if you read this. Is there a reason why you didn’t use your clamp meter on the positive lead of the welder? I’m just wondering what output the machine is capable of, and if it lives up to its 205AMP promise?
I did check the output reading of three welders in the past and I have video showing that. If you are interested, please search my channel. Keep in mind: several factors will effect the accuracy of matching the output current to the output settings of any welder:
The welding machine.
Input voltage.
Input current drop due to several factors for example the length and size of wire.
The output cable size and length.
The welding rod size and type.
Plus other factors.
I also want to add, If I have to record every single thing I showed in the past, my videos will be extra long. If you need to know this information, next time I use the machine, I'll check.
I hope this answered your question. Thank you for watching
@@SalamSayhood First, thank you for the reply I really appreciate it. Second, I really wasn’t criticizing, I just was curious. It’s hard to find videos that actually use clamp meters to see exactly what the machine is actually giving you in AMPS. I recently purchased a Tooliom 200m which claims to do 200 AMPS but when I tested it, (and I didn’t take into consideration everything you specified) I was only getting 165 APMS. I’m trying to decide whether to return the Tooliom and purchase the Yeswelder or do all chines weldersoverpromise and under deliver on the power output? Anyway, thank you for the video, It was very informative regardless.
@@christianbalka3766 from my experience, any welding machine output settings will differ from the the actual output current. I reviewed yeswelder 165 in the past and on the highest settings on 220vac input using 1/8" 7018, it was outputting around 120-130AMP. I showed that in the 165 review. I also tested Miller, Lincoln and other welders with similar results. Like I said, we have to consider all the variables. Also I do agree, almost everything for sale nowadays is on over promise and under deliver. This welder has been great for the type of weld that I do (80 to 130 amp outputs). I haven't tried the one you mentioned. Also I didn't take your comment as criticism. If you want me to, I will be happy to test it for you and let you know by the end of this coming weekend. Thank you for your feedback. Be safe and have a great day
@@SalamSayhood I mean, if you have the time I’d love to see the results, but please don’t do anything that takes a lot of effort on my account. Again, thank you for replying and for the informative video.
I just tested the welder on the highest current settings running on 240VAC 60Hz using 7018 5/32" welding rod and I had my son monitor the current on the welding lead (the rod holder cable), the welder was outputting around 180 AMP. I was welding on 3" wide 1/2" hot rolled flat stock. I may do more experiment with it and may record the process for RUclips (this will be in the future). I have video showing the output between three welders, please watch it. This is the link:
ruclips.net/video/QXcJlhat4Fk/видео.html
Will that work with a 120 volt 20 amp home receptacle
It works on my 120 volt 20 amp circuit breaker. Keep in mind to use small size welding rods (1/16" thick) or 0.030" flex core. I also have a video showing how I used this welder to weld aluminum on 120v 20amp circuit.
@@SalamSayhood I just bought one on Amazon, thank you for your help. I plan on using .6mm Mig wire to weld auto body sheet metal. Will flux core wire work well with auto body sheet metal or solid wire with gas.
Flex core works great for thin metal. I used it for muffler and body work on cars. I have several videos on my channel building projects or doing repairs using flex core on 120 volt. You can also use MIG welding.
@@SalamSayhood I checked my fuses and I have 15 amp breakers, do you think it will flux core weld using .030 wire on 120V 15amp breaker.
20 amp is the minimum size circuit to be able to weld. If you have 15 amp, this means you have 14awg wires from the circuit breaker/fues to the outlet where you are connecting your welder and this will cause voltage drop also the 15 amp breaker will continue to trip. The best option is to hire an electrician to upgrade your breaker and the wire size, in this case upgrade to 30 amp circuit. Or you can get 240 extension cord to go from your dryer to where you are planning to weld.
