The Lincoln Power MIG 262 MIG Welder (K5706-1) is a 300 amp, professional-grade MIG and flux-cored welder for fabrication shops, maintenance and repair, auto body and light industrial work. It delivers a 5-300A output range, a 60% duty cycle at 230A, and runs on 208/230/460/575V single-phase input power. The rugged MAXTRAC industrial wire drive feeds 0.023 - 3/64 in (0.6 - 1.2 mm) wire at 50-700 ipm, and spool gun and push-pull gun capability lets you take on aluminum. Every package ships ready to weld with a Magnum PRO 250L MIG gun, gas regulator and drive roll kit.
