What it welds
The YESWELDER 205A Multi-Process Welder is a multi-process with a maker-stated output of up to 200 amps on 110 or 220-volt input.
Miller's starting rule, 1 amp for each 0.001 inch of steel, puts 200 amps at roughly 0.200 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: Gas MIG/Flux Core. Check which torches and guns come in the box; a TIG torch or spool gun is often extra. Process guide.
Dual-voltage input gives portability on 120 volts and full output on 240; the maker's ratings for each input differ. 120 V vs 240 V.
Eye protection: OSHA's minimum is shade 10 for most of this machine's range (shade 10 for stick above 160 A). Full table.
Also on the listing: a weight of 36.4 lb.
