The Lincoln Electric MIG Conversion Kit K610-2 converts compatible Lincoln flux-core (gasless) MIG welders to gas-shielded MIG welding at 208/230V — adding the gas solenoid, regulator, and hose hardware needed to run solid wire with CO2 or mixed-gas shielding on heavier 230V machines, extending their application range to thinner materials and cleaner welds.

| Quantity per Pack | Single kit |
| Application | Converting Lincoln 208/230V flux-core-only MIG welders to gas-shielded MIG (GMAW) capability |
- Gas MIG upgrade for 230V flux-core machines: Add shielding gas capability to a 208/230V Lincoln flux-core welder, enabling solid wire MIG with CO2 or 75/25 Ar/CO2 shielding gas for cleaner weld beads on a wider range of materials.
- Thin material and sheet metal: Gas-shielded MIG with solid wire produces significantly less spatter and smoother beads on thin steel sheet compared to flux-core, making it ideal for automotive, HVAC, and light fabrication work on 230V machines.
- Workshop capability expansion: A cost-effective way to upgrade an existing 230V Lincoln machine without purchasing a separate MIG welder.
- Higher-amperage solid wire applications: 230V machines with the K610-2 kit can run larger solid wire diameters at higher duty cycles than a comparable 115V machine with K610-1, supporting heavier-gauge fabrication with gas-shielded MIG.
The K610-2 is a Lincoln Electric OEM conversion kit for 208/230V Lincoln flux-core MIG welders. Confirm your specific machine model is compatible with the K610-2 before ordering. Not all Lincoln 230V machines are designed to accept this kit — consult Lincoln's compatibility documentation or contact WeldingMart with your machine model number.
The K610-2 is the 208/230V version of the conversion kit. For 115/120V Lincoln machines, see the Lincoln MIG Conversion Kit K610-1 instead. Installing the wrong voltage kit will result in incompatible solenoid operation.
