Eastwood Elite 200 Amp Multi-Process AC/DC MP200i Welder

Product Overview:

Description

Most multi-process welders are primarily MIG units with the option to TIG-weld steel and, without a foot pedal, they often only let you scratch-start. The Eastwood Elite MP200i AC/DC raises the bar with this TIG-focused MP welder that features high-frequency start and rocker-style foot pedal so you can confidently TIG-weld steel, stainless steel, or aluminum.

This powerful 200-Amp welder can operate on either 120V or 240V power for greater versatility. It takes advantage of an advanced IGBT inverter to reduce weight and bulk. AC/DC square wave technology allows for flawless TIG welds on aluminum. A dynamic cooling fan keeps everything running cool.

Everything you need to weld mild or stainless steel is included - a flex-head WP-17 torch with included gas lens kit for TIG welding, a Tweco-style torch for MIG, and an electrode holder for stick welding. An optional spool gun can be added to allow MIG welding aluminum. The heavy duty internal MIG wire feed motor holds up to 11-lb spools of steel or stainless wire.

The MP200i AC/DC is separately plumbed for both MIG and TIG welding so you can quickly switch between operations without having to change over gas bottles and regulators. The integrated rolling cart includes storage for two gas bottles as well as side hooks for easy cable storage. And it’s all backed up by Eastwood’s 3-year warranty and lifetime tech support.

Eastwood Elite MP200i AC/DC features:

  • Operates on either 120V or 240V power
  • Advanced IGBT inverter power supply and square-wave inverter technology
  • MIG- or stick-weld thin steel and stainless steel up to 3/8-in thick; aluminum up to 1/4-in thick (with optional spool gun)
  • TIG-weld steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to 1/4-in thick
  • True AC/DC TIG welder with foot pedal and high-frequency start
  • WP17 flex-head TIG torch with gas lens kit for improved performance
  • Dynamic cooling fan operates only when needed
  • Fully independent MIG and TIG gas systems includes 2 gas regulator/flow meters
  • Integrated storage cart with wheels, dual gas bottle storage, and side hooks for easy cable storage
  • Backed by Eastwood's no-hassle return policy and 3-year warranty

The rated Duty Cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The Eastwood Elite MP200i when TIG welding has a Duty Cycle of 50% at the full 200 Amps. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes. If welding at 200 Amps with a 50% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 5 Minutes with 5 Minutes of cooling for the welder. If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, the welder will automatically shut off, however the fan will continue running to cool the internal components. When a safe temperature has been reached, the welder will automatically switch the Welder output back on. To increase the Duty Cycle you can turn down the Voltage Output control.

What is the difference between this Elite MP200i AC/DC machine and the older Elite MP200i (20569)?

This unit has a lot of additional features that make this a more versatile machine. This new unit can TIG weld aluminum while the older unit can only TIG weld steel. This unit comes with a rocker style foot pedal for precise amperage control for TIG welding while the older unit does not have a foot pedal and relies on the torch trigger to turn the amperage on and off and doesn't have the ability to raise and lower the amps as you are welding.

This newer unit comes with casters attached to the machine and doesn't need a cart. It also holds two gas bottles. It also is fully plumbed for two bottles and doesn't require hoses to be changed when going from MIG to TIG welding. The older unit must be set on a cart and hoses must be swapped when changing welding functions. The newer unit also comes with an upgraded flex head torch with gas lens kit for the best welds, even in tight areas.

What is High Frequency Start for TIG welding?

High Frequency Start (HF) allows the operator to position the tungsten electrode near the metal to be welded and simply press the torch trigger or foot pedal to start the arc. HF is typically found on professional TIG welding machines with AC/DC function that also allows you to weld both steel and aluminum. This is a preferred method over lesser units that use a Scratch Start system that is not user friendly because it makes the operator touch the tungsten to the metal to be welded to start the arc. This makes it very difficult to maintain a good clean tungsten because it can easily stick to the material to be welded.

What does AC/DC mean in TIG welding?

DC polarity means the machine can weld steel. AC means it can weld aluminum. An AC/DC machine has the capabilities to weld both steel and aluminum and is typically the preferred machine for fabrication because of the ability to weld both materials.

What is the best way to sharpen a tungsten?

A dedicated grinder should always be used to sharpen a tungsten. If you use a standard bench grinder that is used to grind other metals, the debris from the grinding wheel will contaminate the tungsten and create a bad arc and poor welds. We suggest a dedicated hand held TIG Tungsten Grinder to sharpen tungstens and get the best TIG welds.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from GREAT WELDER GREAT WELDER VERY IMPRESSED WITH QUALITY AND ITS PERFORMACE

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive The tig welding side is awesome honestly runs just as good as a miller, ive used it on aluminum boats all the way up to 1/4in alu. stainless runs beautiful aswell. mig is not as impressive but still well worth the money.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Worked great for me Although I’ve only used it once since purchasing. The machine did just fine with tig aluminum and stick welding. Ran both for a good 10 min straight with no drop out or shut off.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome Welder Couldn’t be more happy with the MP200I. I wish I had gotten it sooner. If your on the fence about getting it you will not be disappointed!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Clyde So far so good still trying to learn the welder but works great
Date published: 2024-02-19
Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great Welder Eastwood welders have always been good to me, I sold my well used and perfect running Eastwood 135 to my neighbor after purchasing this welder. I wanted a machine that could it all, and this fit the bill nicely. I run a small business and fabrication is the majority of it. Arc stability for tig on DC and AC/DC is just as good as my lincoln precison tig 225. Currently running .030" mig wire and it penetrates well enough on what I use it for that I don't see myself switching to the larger .035" wire, but I have the option to do so if needed. The fan only runs when it needs to, so that's wonderful to the ears. I was eyeballing this welder for the past six months and was ready to spend the $2,500 on it, the day I went to purchase it it was on sale for $1,499. Take my money...... This is a fantastic welder, just like their small mig welders. If you could blindfold someone they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the red and blue welders out there. If I could change one thing about this machine it would be to have the display and visible settings of the lincoln precision tig 185/225. The little press the button for the hidden menus isn't bad its just different. All in all 5 stars for a welder that does everything and does everything well. If you are on the fence, just get it already. Buy once, cry once.

Whats the difference between a MP200i vs the MP250i? And which one would you recommend?

Asked by: Amiller520
The biggest difference is the AC/DC MP200i has a highly adjustable TIG mode, including AC output for welding aluminum. If you really want a one-and-done welder for your home garage or small shop, this is the unit for you. The MP250i is also a great welder and similar in many ways, but more focused towards heavy duty steel/stainless welding. You can't put the small 4" spools of MIG wire on that machine. It has an extra 50A of top end output, but only useful if you're working with thick metal >1/4". The TIG mode isn't as adjustable and is DC only, but does still feature the high frequency start and foot pedal control option.

Is the tig only high frequency start or do have lift or scratch scratch start options? I worry about the high frequency start in close proximity to electronics, especially car systems and computers.

Asked by: Bobh
It can do both scratch and high frequency start
