Lincoln Power MIG 180C MIG Welder - K2473-2
The Professional's Choice. Whether you're a farmer or a fabricator, an autobody shop or a backyard mechanic, the POWER MIG 180C will help you get the job done! It's a portable wire welder designed for use with industrial 230 volt input power, so you can weld on thicker material - up to 3/16 in. with MIG welding and 1/2 in. with gas-less flux-cored welding. Diamond Core Technology - Delivers a forgiving arc, excellent out-of-position arc action, low spatter and a wide voltage sweet spot at a given wire feed speed for steel, stainless steel or aluminum. Industrial Cast Aluminum Drive-Dual gear-driven drive rolls deliver positive traction. Patented split wire guides ensure optimal wire alignment and a brass-to-brass gun connection aids critical conductivity. A large industrial closed-design drive motor improves torque and enhances trouble-free performance. No Hassle Tool-less Design - For input power changes, wire spool mounting, wire drive service and polarity changes. Spool Gun Ready-Just remove the standard MIG gun and plug in the economical Magnum 100SG spool gun (optional) for enhanced aluminum wire feeding performance. Toughest PC Board Protection in the Industry- 'Potted' to seal sensitive components from the environment, 'trayed' in a tough plastic tray to add rigidity and shock resistance.
Experience professional-grade welding performance with the Lincoln Power MIG 180C, the industry's leading portable wire welder engineered specifically for serious fabricators requiring industrial power with exceptional versatility. This compact yet powerful system delivers impressive capabilities through its 230V input design, allowing users to tackle substantially thicker materials than standard 115V units—enabling MIG welding of steel up to 3/16-inch and flux-cored welding of materials up to 1/2-inch thick. The advanced Diamond Core Technology provides superior arc characteristics across all applications, creating a remarkably forgiving weld puddle with excellent out-of-position performance, minimal spatter, and a wide voltage sweet spot that simplifies parameter setting for consistent results regardless of material type or thickness. Designed for professional users in automotive repair, agricultural maintenance, metal fabrication, brewery and distillery construction, and general repair applications, the Power MIG 180C combines industrial-grade components with user-friendly features to deliver exceptional performance in a compact, portable package.
Engineered for professional durability and reliability, the Power MIG 180C incorporates numerous industrial-quality components typically found only in higher-priced systems. The precision-cast aluminum wire drive assembly features dual gear-driven drive rolls that provide positive wire traction with minimal slippage, while patented split wire guides ensure perfect alignment throughout the feed path. The critical brass-to-brass gun connection maximizes electrical conductivity for consistent arc performance, while the robust closed-design drive motor delivers enhanced torque for reliable feeding across a wide range of wire types and diameters. The innovative tool-less design philosophy eliminates the need for additional equipment when changing input power configurations, mounting wire spools, performing drive service, or switching welding polarity—significantly reducing setup time and maintenance requirements. The complete system includes a professional-grade Harris gas regulator and hose, factory-installed sample spools of both MIG and flux-cored wire, contact tips, and a work clamp, providing everything needed for immediate welding operation right out of the box.
The Power MIG 180C incorporates advanced electronic protection systems that ensure reliable performance in demanding environments while maintaining exceptional arc characteristics. The innovative "potted" circuit board design seals sensitive electronic components from environmental contamination, while the tough plastic mounting tray adds rigidity and shock resistance—creating the industry's most durable control system protection. For users requiring enhanced aluminum welding capability, the machine is factory-configured for immediate connection of the optional Magnum 100SG spool gun without requiring additional adapter modules or control boxes—simply remove the standard MIG gun and connect the spool gun for superior aluminum performance. The precision-tapered wire drive components minimize feed issues while maximizing electrical conductivity, ensuring consistent performance with both steel and aluminum wires. With its combination of industrial power capability, advanced arc technology, professional component quality, and user-friendly design features, the Lincoln Power MIG 180C represents the definitive choice for serious welders requiring portable performance without industrial complexity.
