- Best-in-class entry TIG at demo pricing. The Square Wave TIG 200 is Lincoln's most popular hobby-to-professional crossover TIG machine. Factory demo units offer 15–25% off street pricing while carrying the same 3-year manufacturer warranty as a new unit — exceptional margin for buyers stepping up from 110 V flux-core machines.
- Dual-voltage, go-anywhere portability. At 46.5 lbs, this machine plugs into a 120 V household outlet or 230 V shop drop without adapter boxes or rewiring. Lincoln's "Take it Everywhere, Plug in Anywhere" philosophy means it's as useful in a home garage as a production bay.
- Ships ready — no back-order wait. Lincoln new-production TIG machines can carry 6–10 week lead times during peak demand. This factory demo ships from WeldingMart's warehouse in 1–3 business days.

The Square Wave TIG 200 uses standard #17/26-series torch consumables and Dinse connectors. Popular accessories at WeldingMart:
- Flex-Neck TIG Torches — 12.5 ft and 25 ft air-cooled PTA-17 and PTA-26 torches for tight-corner access
- TIG Filler Rod — ER4043 and ER5356 aluminum filler; ER308L stainless; ER70S-2 carbon steel in 1 lb and 10 lb packs
- Argon Flowmeter Regulators — single-stage CGA-580 regulators compatible with standard argon cylinders
- TIG Consumables Kit — 3/32 in and 1/16 in ceriated tungsten, collets, and Furick ceramic cups for argon-lens setups
The Square Wave TIG 200's dual-voltage AC/DC capability makes it a go-to machine for hobbyists, motorsports fabricators, and small-shop professionals:
- Motorsports & automotive fabrication. Weld 4130 chromoly tube chassis, aluminum suspension components, and stainless exhaust systems from the same machine. Pulse mode reduces distortion on thin-wall tubing where heat control is critical.
- Fine sheet metal work. DC TIG at 10–200 A with pulse handles 18–22 gauge 304 stainless for custom HVAC, food equipment, and art fabrication without warping or burn-through.
- Aluminum welding — bikes, boats, and brackets. Adjustable AC frequency (narrow vs. wide bead) and AC balance control let even intermediate welders dial in clean, consistent aluminum beads on cast, extruded, and plate stock from 1/16 in to 3/8 in.
- Home shop & garage use. The 120 V input lets you TIG weld on a standard 20 A household circuit — useful for apartments, garages with limited panel capacity, or outdoor use with a generator.
- Aerospace maintenance & repair. DC TIG on titanium, Inconel, and stainless aerospace hardware benefits from the machine's HF arc start (no contact arc initiation) and precise low-end amperage control starting from 10 A.
This unit was manufactured to Lincoln Electric's full production standards, used for authorized demonstrations or distributor evaluation, then returned to Lincoln's refurbishment center. It has been inspected, repaired to factory spec, tested to perform identically to a new machine, and assigned a U-prefix SKU (U5126-1). It carries a full 3-year Lincoln Electric factory warranty.
Yes. On 120 V, the machine delivers up to 125 A TIG output — sufficient for aluminum up to 1/8 in and steel up to 3/16 in. For heavier aluminum work, connect to 230 V for the full 200 A output. The machine switches automatically; no internal rewiring required.
Yes — the Square Wave TIG 200 is an AC/DC machine. AC output is required for aluminum TIG welding (GTAW-AC breaks the aluminum oxide layer). Adjustable AC frequency (20–200 Hz) controls bead width, and AC balance adjusts the cleaning-to-penetration ratio. It welds aluminum from 1/16 in sheet to 3/8 in plate on 230 V.
Electrically and mechanically identical — same output range, same features, same AC controls, same duty cycle. Factory demo cosmetics may include light marks from handling. The price difference (typically 15–25% below MAP) and the identical warranty are the main distinctions buyers care about.
WeldingMart ships this machine to the U.S. lower 48 states via ground freight. Alaska, Hawaii, and international shipping may be available at additional cost — contact our sales team for a freight quote before ordering.
