ARCCAPTAIN TIG 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

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.

What a great welder for the price. Powerful, lightweight, easy to use and easy to set-up. Perfect tool for the farm.

This ARCCAPTAIN 5-in-1 TIG welder is an excellent machine for both beginners and experienced welders. The dual-voltage feature makes it easy to use at home or in a shop, and the digital display is clear and simple to adjust. Arc starts are smooth, especially in TIG mode, and the pulse function really helps with cleaner welds. The build quality feels solid and reliable for the price. Overall, it delivers strong performance and versatility without being overly complicated.

Welder has good points and bad points. Good, IGBT, AC freq control, great welds when their WP26 torch is perfect. BAD, WP26 collets supplied are two piece. Put some heat in the torch and they fall apart. BAD, GCA32 gas connection leaked, contaminates the Argon. BAD, Brass nipple to attach the hose is so short, the dog ear clamp shown is wider. BAD, welding Alum at just 125A, the torch handle is poorly insulated and the handle gets too hot to handle. Had to wrap with a arm guard sleeve for continuous welding, bulky, poor welding comfort. Otherwise you weld, stop, cool, weld, stop, cool. Pain. All this is fixable with someone else's better quality components.

This machine works great! Came with everything I needed to get started short of some filler rod. Bought some tungstens, boss gave me his old small argon bottle, and the foot pedal… and I was in business! I’m a barebones beginner and this machine is very intuitive and easy to use once you understand what the settings all do and what they are. The pedal is a must have in my opinion. You gain a level of control you simply can’t compensate for without an immense amount of experience with tig welding. My welds here are trash I know, but I did manage to get some halfway decent beads going with good penetration in .060” 5052 aluminum plate using 1/16” 4043 filler rod. I definitely dipped my tungsten many times, burned the rubber off my gloves onto the plates, and burnt through the plates.. but I was still surprised at what I could do. Especially after everyone telling me how absolutely impossible TIG welding was. It has pulse which I played with, made it easier to maintain a cadence to place filler, which resulted in a more uniform weld when I did use it. It arcs up and welds great as long as you don’t accidentally dip the tungsten. If you suddenly see green or your arc jumping around.. just put in another tungsten. Trust me, the weld DOES NOT even out. I haven’t done any steel or stainless or any exotic metals yet, but I’m pleasantly surprised even as a beginner I was able to put down lap joint beads with a $650 machine. I have a long way to go, but this welder is absolutely worth it. I can already see myself being able to grow as much as I will ever need with this one machine. PS: I’m sorry for my horrible welds and especially that fillet weld. If you don’t tell anyone, neither will I.

If I could give 0 stars for this Welder I would! I was very excited and looking forward to a decent reliable TIG welder that does AC/DC. I opened the box to weld 2 jobs for customers that have been waiting… When I got it out the Gas connection was completely cracked. I was hoping I could get by and still get enough seal to use it.. but of course it leaks. Having an issue out of the box is one thing. But my issue is because I filed a warranty claim per their warranty instructions on their website. Included: issue, my information, pictures of the issue, proof of purchase receipt, and serial number. This was submitted August 4th. As of today August 18th EOD I have not received one single email reply back. I was on the fence between Yeswelder & Arc Captain. I have used Yeswelder’s warranty department before and it was great! I went out on a limb with a new brand based on the great reviews I saw…. But I will NOT recommend this to anyone because if you can’t honor your warranty and stand by your product or even attempt to acknowledge your customer then that’s a big NO from me. I want a refund. I’m done, I have honestly dealt with lots of warranty departments for tools etc. but this is by far the worst. HUGE waste of money, and now I am confident if I have any other issues this and anything else will not be fixed. So disappointed… I will be going back to all Yeswelder tools and equipment for budget welders from now on. SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️

For TIG welding - this is an awesome setup. AC and DC (AC needed for aluminum). Pulse capable, great user interface and menus. Strongly recommend getting a welding table, pedal and quality auto-darkening helmet WITH shade control (not the cheapest). Also you will need to buy an argon tank. Don't go with the small tank - get a full size tank if you plan to do any quantity of welding - cheaper gas. Have MIG welded in the past, using this to learn TIG - a completely different art, so enjoying learning TIG with this tool. Again - get the pedal, the finger trigger works but harder to weld well. Don't save money on the welder - AC, pulse... you will want these features and by the time you buy the tank, table, helmet... the difference in welder price isn't worth it.

This TIG welder is an absolute beast! 🌟 Whether you're working with steel, stainless steel, or any other metal, this bad boy can handle it all. The LED digital display makes it super easy to control, and the 2T/4T function is a game-changer. Plus, the dual voltage feature is a huge bonus - you won't be limited by power outlets anymore. The tungsten electrode is a nice touch too, adding to the overall quality of the machine. On the downside, it can be a bit on the heavy side, so lugging it around might be a workout. But hey, a little exercise never hurt anyone, right? Overall, if you're serious about welding, this ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welder is a solid investment. 🔥🛠️
