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.

Hasta este momento, ha demostrado se una buena maquina, todavía falta usarla de manera más plena. Pero es una maravilla.

The setup was incredibly easy, and I was welding in no time. The performance is outstanding—smooth arcs and excellent control make it perfect for both aluminum and steel projects. The pulse feature is a game-changer, allowing for precise welds and better heat management, especially on thinner materials. The build quality is impressive; it feels durable and reliable, which is essential for any serious welder. Plus, the included accessories are a nice bonus, making it a complete package right out of the box. Whether you're a seasoned pro or just starting out, this welder offers incredible value and versatility. Highly recommend the ARCCAPTAIN TIG Welder for anyone looking to elevate their welding game!

My husband picked the ARCCAPTAIN TIG AC/DC 200A thinking it would be a solid starter machine, but it has turned out to be far more capable than we imagined. From the first arc strike, the arc is smooth, stable, and easy to control. The settings are intuitive, the display is clear, and dialing in the machine for both steel and aluminum has been simple and consistent. The AC balance and frequency controls make aluminum work surprisingly clean, and the pulse feature gives excellent control for thin material. It runs quietly, stays cool, and feels very well built for its size. Switching between 110V and 220V has been convenient, and it performs great on both. This welder has given him the confidence to practice more, learn more, and improve his TIG skills every time he uses it. For the price, the performance and quality are impressive. This is not just a “budget” welder — it is a genuinely capable machine that delivers professional results. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a dependable AC/DC TIG machine without spending thousands.

This welder works really well. For the money, it is an outstanding value. Only a few gripes. Mine didn't come with a screen protector. Not sure if this was an open box item. Also, there wasn't any sticker on the right side of the machine with welding info. There are a lot of similar ac/dc tig welders out there, but I like the screen on this one. It is a decent quality product, at a great price. Happy with it so far.
