Can the YesWelder TIG 205DS Weld Aluminum?
➡ No. It is meant for welding Steel and Stainless Steel.
What happens if I try to weld Aluminum?
➡ I tried. It doesn't work. It basically heats the metal until it melts (internally), but since it is DC only, it doesn't have the ability to clean or burn through the oxide layer on the aluminum. The metal ends up looking like the top of a frozen lake that somebody drained all the water out of. It's really weird. The bottom line is, you need an A/C TIG to weld aluminum.
Why would I want a TIG welder that cannot weld aluminum?
➡ TIG welding allows you to be extremely precise with the amount of heat and filler that you put into the work. This often means less warping, and less grinding welds when you want to make your work pretty.
It seems like too good of a deal, does this thing actually work?
➡ Yes, it really does! It is exactly what you see in the video. I'm not talented enough for camera tricks. I normally use my name brand TIG that cost me an absolute fortune, and weighs about a million pounds. This YesWelder TIG definitely welds thin steel just as well as my name brand TIG, and I can carry it around with one hand. The portability of this is awesome. I don't have any way of knowing how long it will last, because I cannot predict the future, but I will say that it is a great little machine for a first time welder.

I had issues with a smaller machine so now I am getting this one to see if it performs better. I do plan on doing minor TIG welding since its not an AC output machine but I will sure burn lots of 7018 electrodes with it. These machines are very light which I like compared to all my other welders. Awesome video.
Thank you! I like the fact that it is small and light too! It’s waaay easier to move than a giant Miller unit!
Thank you for the review, watched it all and definitely going to pick one up
Thank you for sharing great information just purchased one
Excellent review. I just got this welder.
Awesome! Congratulations on the new toy!
Great Video .. right to the point and i could understand every word good audio ..thanks
Awesome Dude! Great video! I was just look up these welders earlier this week. 👍
Thanks for watching Andy! You're welcome to try it out if you want!
@@WiringRescue yes that would be great. 😁
Awesome review
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Very nice video. Thank you.
Glad you liked the video! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review.
I bought one this week. Still need the accessories for TIG but looking forward to getting started.
Awesome! TIG welding is loads of fun. Take your time to practice. You’ll probably burn through a full tank of argon before you get good! I know I sure did!
The arc welding part is voodoo! Love the close ups! I've never welded a thing in my life, but that looks very user friendly - love anything that is THAT light and portable.
Thanks! Welding is pretty much the greatest thing ever. Maybe we should collaborate on a project!?
@@WiringRescue could it involve a square body truck?!
Oh the jack handle is two pieces cuz when the jack alone is sold the two pieces fit in the same box as the jack, same handle comes in a floor jack box also when under a low car long handle can be had to pump full stroke. Hello from N.H.!
Exactly what I was going to say as well. Those 20T jacks can also be used under a house to level floors and it’s hard to get a long handle in tight spaces
Is a great machine, with stainless steel is beautiful, I will recommended, very chip price.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
How does it weld stainless? Welding some thin tubing for a turbo Manifold and exhaust
Nice content
Thank you! I appreciate that!
Take off that ring! My brother was stock welding and he somehow had his ring get between ground and and the electrode, the ring turned red hot, now he has a permanent ring!
That’s solid advice! I really should get a rubber one before I hurt myself. Thank you for looking out for me!
Wonder how long the thumb switch will last. We go through a lot of them on millers
Good question! I’ll let you know if I break it. Yeswelder.com does offer replacement parts too if it does ever break.
Were you running it on 110V or 220V?
Hello I just bought this model used off a guy. I'm having issues with stopping my arc. I let go of the button on the torch but the arc doesn't stop. Is there a delay that you know of that I might not be aware of? I'm not familiar with these machines at all but I do know some have a post flow or delay. Please let me know.
The jack handle comes in to pieces and has the bayonet fitting to release the pressure in the jack and you need to hold the gas on the weld for about 15 seconds after you finish welding
Keeping the post flow gas on the weld for 15 seconds after I stop welding on a jack handle is a waste of gas. It might be worth it on parts that matter, but this harbor freight jack handle most certainly does not.
15 seconds AFTER is the absolute most RIDICULOUS thing I’ve EVER heard of!!! Total waste of time and gas! PERIOD!☝️🙄
I’m guessing there’s no adjustment for post flow on this model?🤔
Do you have to scratch to start or is it high frequency start. I've seen other reviews and they are saying it's HF start. BTW, I have this exact welder and find it only scratch starts which contaminates the tungsten and drives me crazy.
I don't have to scratch start mine it's HF just bought it 2 days ago
Welp. I guess I am gonna have to get a welder now!!
Dang right! If you wanna try this one out, let me know!
Hey Fixer I’m a sub of yours love your stuff…
For this model, can someone please tell me how one would terminate they're arc when finished? Is it not by taking your finger off the button? Or is it by pulling away? Also, is this model not HF start? I can't seem to get my arc started unless I scratch it?! Someone with experience with this model please respond!
Can you use the tig with the smaller outlet
Yes - it’s just not as powerful.
i got this model and for some reason my HF wont work
We're you on 110 or 220?
Why is the handle in 2 pieces? Because it was cheaper to manufacture that way. The same reason can be given for virtually everything Hobo Freight does.
Well I’m glad it’s welded together now. I cannot even explain how many times that press handle has come apart and I’ve had to pick it up off the ground while in the middle of pressing something! The YesWelder did a great job welding it !
Just to clarify, you do need shielding gas to run this machine right?
Yes. And I’d recommend buying a welder (any brand) that uses shielding gas. Flux core welders work fine, but using shielding gas is all around a nicer experience in my opinion.
Can you walk the come using this instead on lifting it ?
Good question. I’m not sure, because I didn’t try it. The next time I need to weld stuff, I’ll give it a try.
Nice video how's the pontiac doing
Sadly it had to go. It was going to somebody that was going to restore it. A few months later it was up for sale again for double what I sold it for. Now - I have no idea where it is.
@@WiringRescue wow I can't believe it 😢
Is it lift start or high frequency?
It's a High Frequency, button start or foot pedal start. I have the exact welder, actually works a treat
can you weld magnesium with this?
I have never welded magnesium, but I’m fairly sure you need A/C to do so. This welder can only do D/C, and therefore cannot weld magnesium.
@@WiringRescue ok thanks for the info
I just picked up this machine yesterday but ran into a problem. From what you know can this be used on a normal household outlet??
I ran mine on a normal household outlet in my garage. So it certainly worked for me.
@@WiringRescue whenever I do this it trip my breaker. What should I do to keep this from happening? Is your garage using a normal 110v house outlet?
@@seanmiller3500 it sure is. I think it’s on a 15amp breaker, but I can double check tomorrow. There is a small chance it could be a 20amp circuit. Maybe contact yeswelder and see if they can tell you what the amp requirement is?
@@WiringRescue how can I tell what amp breaker I have? I upgraded 2 days ago from their arc145 and it never tripped it but as soon as I used this machine it almost immediately did
You have to look in your electrical panel of your garage/house. For some reason, your circuit is overloaded. You just need to figure out why.
Can this use with out gas?
Good question! I actually don’t know. Email yeswelder.com and ask. They have been really great with answering questions when I had some.
Can this weld aluminum
No, it cannot.
Help! Went to the link but doesn't mention the tig setup!
Click the link and then type “205ds” in the search box. It pops right up to the top. :)
Thank you.
this is only $169 on amazon now.. crazy
That is crazy! You really can’t beat the price if you want to Tig weld steel.
@@WiringRescue and the AC Tig for aluminum is only $425
could this weld Aluminium?
No it cannot. You need a tig welder that has an AC welding option for welding aluminum.
For your purposes, never buy any rod other than 7018, this machine will do well for 3/32, probably will burn 1/8 ok but not for running all day long.
Great info. Thank you for sharing it!
Would you like to test our machine?
Update.. after 2 weeks and an email a day the only help I got was a picture of a finger pointing at a connector to check... When I asked them what to check with a meter or am I just verifying it was plugged in they replied "we have reviewed the video you sent us again and it's broken and can't be repaired, sorry.". Basically they just want to string you along until you get tired and give up. So now I have a paperweight.
I'm just a guy. 😀
^^^True story!
Rebranded junk! Lookup Keygree welders. Can be had for 150-200 all day online. This one is a rebranded Keygree 250 as far as I can see. I have a error 1 code on display. Units only been used for 30 min since ai bought it...They said out of warranty nothing they can do.. which I get.. however they also would not allow me to talk to support direct, only a call center. They also blocked my email when I tried to ask them about what part needs replacing or what error code meant... Buyer beware. Hope my incident was a fluke. Really liked the welder when it worked but feeling a bit hung out to dry.
Lmao you do realize that just a couple of tacks would be well strong enough to hold on your bottle Jack handle right lol
I do realize that, but I enjoy welding!
