I'm amazed at how such a great stick welder can be made so compact.

[dannyoneal]

I'm a welding student and i bought this machine to practice on. Very nice for the price and like Bob said it runs pretty hot. I run 1/8 7018 at 90 amps compared to the 115 -120 I run on the Lincolns at school. Lots of power in this little box.

There’s a lot of very good welding instruction on Youtube with priceless content. I do like Jody, Chucke2009, and the Fabrication series too and have learned a lot from them, but as a teacher, you deserve a Nobel aureate.


I’m new to TIG and still a novice but thanks to videos like this I’m improving every day. Thank you.

I've had this unit for months and use the hell out of it. I've ran it for days and it's never let me down. The only problem is the readout is dead wrong, Bob even says so. I keep a notepad beside it for all my sweet spots and live with it for this price point.

That little inverter machine you using Bob is really neat. I been looking at getting one for a few weeks for practicing 6010 and 7018 on open groove plate and pipe joints. Maybe even set up a scratch start DC Tig outfit and see how it does for on 6G 2 inch pipe. Thank you weld.com and Bob Moffat for reviewing this cool machine. I am going to have to buy myself an early Christmas present. Ha ha

I got my 200ST from Weld.com. The trick to getting it running right is welding in TIG mode. The arc in Stick mode will dig so hard in vertical that it’s impossible to make any kind of weld. When you move to TIG mode it disables the hot start and arc force that are preset in the computer. On TIG mode it runs 6010-6011 like a charm and 7018 like a dream. The only time I use Stick mode is when I’m making 1F welds on really thick material that’s needs that deep dig into the base metal. Good video Bob, I hope you do one in a groove in vertical.

Thanks, Bob.Looks like a decent little machine. I have their Power i Mig 140 and run it a lot. Same issue with settings- have needed to figure out what works & just jot it down for reference. They are a good value for the money if a person is on a budget.

Yea Bob set up a scratch start rig, just got a CK17 and still need to grab an argon bottle, curious about its performance.

[FishFind]

The new version I have just has a button for the 6010 and it’s a good machine and works. Haven’t had an issue with the machine, only my generator which can’t keep up with this welder. 5k generator and this little guy is pulling it down till it dies. Wish I could really try this bad boy out at 200!

I had turned my 200 ST down to 87 to run Radnor 1/8” 7018 but Thursday, I took it to the tech school where I’m n my second semester and my instructor, a 32-year union man, started welding with it and had me keep turning it down to 72 amps. He then got our Millennium rods and found that they worked best at 74. He brought a couple of 5/32” 7018s and had the machine turning out beautiful beads at 105 amps.
He told me I had a fine welder.

[augustinesaucedo]

Just ran a root with ER70S 2 @ 60 amps, this first pass couldn't have came out any better

[markstevansen]

Great looking welder there Bob. Thanks for showing us what it can do.

[jamesgulrich]

Nice video, Bob! That's a kick-ass little buzz box. Thanks for sharing. 6010!

[amscout]

One of the best compact stick welders out there.

[eddiekawecki]

Nice demo. Like one person commented about a clamp on amp meter, maybe it would be a good idea to use the proper amp meter on your demos just to see how accurate the readout on the welders you are using is. Maybe in both 110 and 220V input and both AC & DC output depending on what the machine is made or set for. Thanks, Ed K. Cleve. Oh.

[matthewbarr]

Good video. I have had my Powerarc 200 for almost a year now. Ive been practicing on 2" sch.40 and 6 "sch.40. I would like to see a video soon. The arc performance on my machine is awesome, just like what you showed. Thanks for all the videos Bob, happy holidays.

[AlexRodriguez-bbbu]

Very nice stick welder. I can't believe how compact it is.

[artsabound]

good video, so many arguing for transformer welders, saying inverters don't deliver like trans stick welders. I qualified 6G on 6in pipe with a maxstar 150 Some yrs back. This 200 st is tempting . The little blue machine doesn't like 6010 .

[juanzavala]

I have it and I tried it with a multimeter, in stick mode it delivers 30 amps over what the screen says, up to 45 with a short arc, but this only with 7018, with 6011 and 6013 are 15 to 20 more and up to 35 with a short arc, yes, I tried it several times and the result was always like this, in TIG mode the screen corresponds to the multimeter.

[EmptySetOutdoors]

Just ordered this $319 cant wait to get it.
