Multi Welder - PARKSIDE PMSG 200 A1 (199€) TIG, MIG, MMA | Unboxing and Test

Unboxing and test of a Multi Welder Parkside PMSG 200 A1. I bought it in LIDL for 199€. You can weld without shielding gas. I tested standard MIG welding with gas (CO2), then GASLESS MIG welding with flux core wire, then MMA welding (stick welding) and finally I tried TIG welding with torch from my Fronius DC TIG welder.

I am also not a professional welder but a few things I noticed: the current seemed too high in some cases because you have burned through the material so lowering it might give better results. Another thing, using TIG torch - you should stop and keep the torch right above the weld when you finish your welding to keep the last piece of weld harden shielded by the gas. You have taken your hand away and then went back in to cover it with gas, but after those 3 seconds it was not halping anything. Keep the gas there RIGHT after you stop welding for a few seconds. There is a good review in czech language by Killeroz channel on youtube. IT is a pretty decent Welder - I recommend watching that also.

Díky moc za video 👍🏻
Naposledy jsem svářel cca před 15-ti lety elektrodama, takže jsem laik. Zakoupil jsem tento výrobek a jsem fakt překvapenej, jak to tím drátem vaří. Bomba, doporučuji 👍🏻👍🏻

When MIG welding with gas, you should push the gun, leaves a flatter and better formed bead, though there are times when you'd use the pull technique. Your travel speed also seems a bit fast in a few tests.
Getting MIG welders that are good at the low end is hard, usually only expensive MIG machines or pulsed MIG machines can do very thin material, it's just harder for the machine to maintain a stable low voltage when welding.

I only run 1mm flux core through mine - I have other machines to handle the smaller gauge wires. Mine is close to perfection running 1mm wire. It has stupid hours work done as I use it professionally & has never so much as coughed. I am a fan.

It's not too bad for a 200 euro machines, certainly very functional.

I member you from veselica last year, u were more zašvasan than half the people there. Than it eskaliralo to this masterpiece. Props.

Looked like the first test the heat settings were a bit high. Thin metal is always a pain for us hobbyists. Flux core is worse about this than mig. Have to do more jumping around so it doesn't heat up the base metal too bad. And gaps in your fitment will blow out more on thin stuff. I'm no expert but most of welding success is good prep work in making sure things fit well.

Okee, let's be honest.
For 199 euro you can buy this machine that can do al that.
I am running welding machines of 14, 000euro ën it can run only Mig/mag.
I know that is not the best compares by the fact that I am a offshore welder.
But for a home gamer this machine is good enough.
PS in the comments everybody cries about your welding.
But for a machine straight out of the box with no time for testing al the settings, I say it's a good review.

As a qualified welder with great practise I have following notices in connection with this vid: direction of welding in case of MIG/MAG is the opposite direction. Move your welds forwards not backwards.

[diveruk]

Thank you for the vid. Bought a tig and stick welder to learn how, was just waiting for a vid like your.. being very much a novice it would have been good if you could have talked us through what you were doing and how we can improve..

OMG.... where to begin. We all had to begin somewhere, so I began as a young lad doing my apprenticeship in fabrication and, once I had completed that, due to my birth date I ended up having to do another couple of years so I took a advanced welding course and learned crafty stuff like explosion welding with C4 and other things. Can I suggest find out if your local collage does a welding introduction course, because that will give you a really good grounding in the technicalitys and technique of what you are doing with the thing in your hand. It will be a good investment and my companys employed many people who have taken such a course, which only takes a short few weeks, ending up being pretty damned good welders in the what I just watched wasn't.... it was entertaining, but you need to get your technique right and you need someone to show you physically what to do with the thing in your hand so you do it properly.

[daseeyesh]

Never buy a cheap welder. Did once and it will never happened again. It fails and It fails rather quick and then you have a brick. A brick that no repair shop wants to deal with. Thank you for the test. I'll stick to some well established local brands.

[orrelclarke]

It would be very helpful if you explain what you were doing when you were changing those lines around

[jermaynecoulter]

Thanks for the video! I'm currently training to be a coded welder and bought this machine when I stumbled upon it in LIDL today. Hopefully get it set up in the morning and get to play around with it 😌

[lisazhang]

good job, I saw the welding electrode and self flux welding wire

[tonomartinez]

Gracias Carlos, tendré que buscar una opción más viable aquí en México. 👍💯

[igoroptik]

Grazie mille per il tuo video molto interessante voglio prendere anche io questa saldatrice. Me la consigli?

[ВіталійСуровикін]

При сварке толстых тобишь 3-х и 4-х мм. металлов, убирать подачу проволоки нужно для прогрева и провара, меньше высота шва выходит, так что эксперементируйте !!!!

Шум вентилятора, как от турбины самолета. С ума сойдешь, от этой китайской подделки. В 2017 хотел в Финляндии в Лидл это недоразумение купить. Взял ewm👌👍
