Lincoln Electric Square Wave Tig 200

This is the Welder I own, it’s an excellent choice for the home shop and small production / prototype work

This machine can run on both 60 & 50 Hz so its a great choice for Europe, Asia & other areas on 50hz

SIMPLICITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

The Square Wave® TIG 200 is a portable TIG and stick welding machine that lets hobbyists, makers, small fabricators and craftsmen explore their creativity.

It is designed to help expand your welding expertise. As your skills and confidence grow, you can take advantage of the Square Wave TIG 200’s additional functionality. No matter your skill level, you won’t be disappointed.

The Square Wave TIG 200 provides smooth and stable AC TIG welding on aluminum and DC TIG welding on steel, stainless steel and chrome-moly.

A user-friendly interface enables the operators to set it, forget it and weld.

ADVANCED FEATURES YET EASY TO USE

The user interface makes machine setup easy. Available features, such as Pulse, which provides a drumbeat-like rhythm for filler metal deposition, make you become a better TIG welder – faster.

A Great TIG Machine for Aluminum – For a wider or tighter welding bead, users can easily adjust AC Frequency Control. AC Balance can be adjusted to provide more cleaning action on dirty aluminum or to maximize penetration
on thick materials.
TIG and Stick from One Power Source – The multi-process machine can TIG weld when precision and bead appearance are important. Users also have the advantage of stick welding capability for outdoor work or thicker materials.
Take it Everywhere, Plug in Anywhere.™ – Plug in the Square Wave TIG 200 where you need it – a standard 120V circuit or 230V for maximum output. Portable and convenient to use, only 46 lb (21 kg).

Everlast PowerTIG 200DV 200amp 110/220 Dual Voltage PULSE ACDC Welder

The Green Alternate to Red & Blue. Everlast is gaining market share in the TIG & MIG markets. This machine is packed with features and an impressive warranty. The pulse feature has a higher frequency than the Lincoln SW 200, that is a major plus for thin wall work.

Easy-to-Understand Operator Interface

It’s as easy as “1, 2, 3” to set your machine and start welding! 1. Power-up2. Select material type3. Set material thickness range We’ve also added a digital display so you know exactly what your settings are.

Use It On 120 Or 240 Volt Input Power

Miller’s Multi Voltage Plug (MVP™) allows you to connect to common 120 or 240 V power receptacles without the use of any tools. Simply chose the plug that fits the receptacle and connect it to the power cord.

Utilizes Latest Inverter Technology

By utilizing an inverter-based AC/DC power source, a more efficient (less energy is used) and consistent welding arc is provided compared to older transformer based TIG machines.

Torch Designed for Maximum Operator Comfort

The package comes standard with a Diversion Series foot control and the Weldcraft A-150 TIG torch. This 150 amp, air-cooled torch features a compact and durable design ideal for both the professional and hobbyist welder. The Diamond Grip head design has ergonomic contact points for thumb and fingers, provides a more comfortable grip and reduces operator fatigue.

Light Weight = Portability

Whether it’s in the shop, garage or at the race track, at only 50 lbs it can be taken anywhere. You can’t do that with those heavy transformer machines!

Reduce Noise, Maintenance and Operating Costs.

Our Fan-On-Demand™ cooling system only operates when needed. This cuts down on fan noise, along with reducing power consumption and contaminants drawn into the machine.

Eliminate Waste of Expensive Shielding Gas

Our Auto-Postflow feature optimizes postflow time based on welding amperage. This allows for proper shielding of both the weld end zone and electrode every time without waste of gas or need for adjustment.

Dependable Arc Starts

Provides HF, non-contact arc starting to eliminate tungsten and material contamination time after time.
