Overview

Welding stainless and mild steel at home or on the go is simple with this compact ARCCAPTAIN, which starts the arc without touching the tungsten. Adjustable post gas and down-slope protect the weld, and stick mode handles outdoor work and thicker steel.

Beginners get clean HF starts and adjustable gas and slope settings in a machine light enough to carry by strap. The fan runs only when needed. It welds DC only, so aluminum is not covered, and weight is stated two ways.

Who it's for

Hobbyists, students and repair techs on steel get an easy-to-carry machine. Aluminum work requires an AC/DC welder instead.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • HF start reduces tungsten wear
  • Adjustable post gas
  • Fan runs only when needed
  • Light, with shoulder strap
Cons
  • DC only, no aluminum
  • Weight stated two ways
  • Foot pedal support not listed

Performance notes

HF start ionizes the gas to strike the arc without contact, protecting the tungsten and the work. Post gas shields the cooling weld and torch, while down-slope tapers current to avoid crater cracks. The IGBT inverter holds a steady arc for low spatter.

Frequently asked questions

What does post gas do on the ARCCAPTAIN TIG200?

After you switch off the torch, gas continues flowing for 1-10s to protect the weld and cool the torch head.

Does the ARCCAPTAIN TIG200 fan run constantly?

No. The cooling fan runs only when the machine needs it.

What should I watch for when powering the ARCCAPTAIN back on?

ARCCAPTAIN says not to power on until the screen turns off and the fan stops working.
