What it welds
The YESWELDER 185A Multi-Process Welder is a multi-process with a maker-stated output of up to 185 amps on 110 or 220-volt input.
Miller's starting rule, 1 amp for each 0.001 inch of steel, puts 185 amps at roughly 3/16 in of steel in one pass; thicker work means bevels and more passes. Run the amperage selector.
The listing doesn't give a duty cycle with its amperage, which makes long beads hard to plan; the rating plate or manual should state it. Why it matters.
Processes, per the maker: MIG/Gas MIG/Spool Gun. Most multi-process machines' TIG is DC lift-arc, so no aluminium unless AC is stated. Choosing a process.
Running on 120 or 240 volts, it trades output for convenience on the lower input. What input voltage changes.
Use a lens of at least OSHA's minimum shade for the current: shade 10 or darker for typical MIG work here. Shade chart.
Also on the listing: a weight of 33.4 lb.
