- Mixed-process shops — switch between MIG, Stick, and TIG without owning a second machine
- Mobile contractors — multi-voltage input runs on shop 230V or jobsite 120V
- Auto body and light fabrication — 0.025" wire capability handles thin sheet metal cleanly
It supports MIG, Flux-Cored, Stick, DC TIG.
165A/22V/30% MIG, 165A/16.6V/30% TIG, 160A/26.4V/25% Stick. This means continuous welding at that amperage for the listed percentage of a 10-minute cycle before requiring cool-down.
120V / 230V on single-phase power.
.025 - .035 in (0.6 - 0.9 mm) — covers standard MIG wire sizes from sheet metal through medium structural work.
All new Lincoln Electric welders ship with the standard Lincoln 3-year warranty (parts and labor) on the power source. Consumables and contact tips are wear items not covered by warranty. Factory-demo units carry the Lincoln demo warranty — contact us for current terms.
