ARCCAPTAIN MIG Welder, 200Amp 6 in 1 Gas MIG/Gasless Flux Core MIG/Stick/Lift TIG/Spot welding/Spool Gun 110V/220V Aluminum Multi Process Welding Machine with LED Digital Display, Burn Back Adjustment

Let me start by disclosing that I am not a professional welder by any means. I needed a welder to fix my lawnmower deck and other random things around the house. I saw this on Amazon for a really cheap price so I researched Arccaptain on YouTube to see some reviews and it seemed to be a great device. I watched 2 hours of how to weld videos on YouTube and ordered this welder. Everything about this unit seemed well designed and me with no experience except videos was able to setup up and use in about 5 minutes after unpacking the box. It was easy to adjust wire tension and power settings after seeing how to on videos. It is a solid welder that after practicing laying beads on a few pieces of metal I fixed many things around my home and fixed a few things for friends. I've used it to weld as thin as door sheetmetal skin back onto door frame on friends van to 1/4" material on farm implements that are still holding tight and strong. The unit itself is light and highly portable and is handy that you can plug into 120v so it can be used anywhere without needing 220v plug. The mig torch and feed are smooth and easy for a beginner to use and the supplied wire is strong and doesn't put off alot of spatter. I've already sent links to a few of my friends who have bought units themselves because they liked mine so much. Great product buy it!

The media could not be loaded. I have been really impressed with the ArcCaptain MIG200 multi-process welder. I bought this welder as an upgrade and replacement for my old Millermatic 140 welder. This ArcCaptain welder has so much more versatility, adjustment, and power compared to the old basic transformer MIG welder I'm coming from. The build quality is excellent, although it may not be as durable as a big name brand, but for DIY hobby use in the garage it will be more than tough enough.The welder comes with almost everything you need to MIG or stick weld out of the box. The only items you'll need to pick up are your MIG wire, shielding gas (unless you run flux-core wire), a gas regulator, or your stick welding electrodes. The welder comes with extra MIG consumables and uses standard tweco style contact tips readily available. 3 different styles of wire drive rolls are provided; V-groove for solid wire, knurled groove for flux wire, and U-groove for aluminum wire. Unfortunately ArcCaptain appears to have a packaging issue though because even with 7 drive rolls included in the kit none of them have a groove sized for running 0.035" (0.9mm) wire of any type. Hopefully they correct this issue in the future.This welder welds nicely and creates an easy to control weld bead. I'm a little rusty with my handwork so the inconsistencies in my test welds were the result of my own travel speed issues and not the welder. The Synergistic MIG functionality is really nice and provides a really good starting point for MIG weld settings. The one thing that ArcCaptain completely fails to mention in their user manual though is that when your in Synergistic mode you MUST set the AMPERAGE level appropriate for the material thickness being welded and then the machine will adjust the voltage and wire feed speed accordingly. For any beginner, just follow this rule of thumb and use 1 Amp for ever 0.001" of material thickness (ex. for welding 1/8" thick steel start with the welder set to 125A in synergistic mode and adjust the voltage from there if the weld is too hot/cold for your liking).My only minor complaints about the welder, aside from the missing 0.035" drive rolls, are that ArcCaptain didn't include a MIG setup chart sticker inside the door cover (which is standard practice on all MIG machines), and that the unit comes wired for 110V input and they provide a 110V to 220V adapter cable. I think this practice of passing 220V through a 110V plug is poor design and may even be a violation of certain electrical safety codes. The better design would've been to have a 220V cable wired to the unit and adapt down to a 110V plug when needed.Overall this ArcCaptain MIG200 welder is a great value for all of the functionality it provides. It provides many more advanced features typically reserved for welders 2-3X the price of this unit. ArcCaptains support team has also been very helpful and responsive to my emails and the customer support is excellent for an international company. I'd highly recommend this welder to anyone looking for an excellent value multi-process MIG welder.

Came with everything it was supposed to except a shoulder strap and idk if I was supposed to get one but wish I did. Comes with all the drive rollers for all wire sizes. Works perfectly straight out of the box and now my boss wants to buy one. This is the best welder I have used and owned, even over miller and Lincoln. Has the power and smoothness needed and can do delicate work. Very happy with my purchase. Super easy to use just turn it on and go

I had not owned a welder for over 20 years and kinda missed it. These were so inexpensive I decided to try one when one of my wife’s patio chairs broke. I bought some welding coupons to experiment on before trying the chair. They welded surprisingly well as I didn’t have a lot of faith in fluxcore welding. It definitely messier than my old Miller Mig machine but all my welds so far have been surprisingly solid. The pics are of some 3/16” steel. The weld doesn’t look great as I was burning my hand through my old glove but I was able to easily bend the steel with hammer and vise without affecting the weld itself. I half expected the weld would break away from the base metal but it held fantastically. I wouldn’t hesitate to try this on 1/4” steel even though they only spec it for 1/8”. I haven’t tried the stick side yet, maybe tomorrow. I also bought the lift tig setup but got sticker shock when I tried to get a gas bottle for the tig. That will have to wait a while.I have not done any long welds with it yet to see how long it can weld before it shuts itself down. I need to gear up a bit if I want to do a lot more welding. I have missed it!

I've only used it once and I am a brand new welder learning from you tube and opportunity brought on by purchasing a Ranch. Indiana want to break the bank but I wanted options. The ability to weld in many different ways will be useful. My first project was repairing a busted 3-point hitch mount and it was very straight forward and the Arccaptain 250 performed very well. I have no experience and used the flux core option for my first project and it went WAY better than I expected. I am ALMOST looking forward to more stuff breaking! My next purchase will be a spool gun so I can start mending holes in irrigation pipe. I love that this little welder is 110v capable so I can use it out in the field with a decent generator, that will save time from breaking down equipment to get it back to the shop. So far I would recommend this unit highly to anyone looking to try out their hand at welding.

This works great! It is strong and able to weld 1/2” thick steal. Very reliable and able to weld a wide range of gage steal.
