250 amps of AC/DC TIG power you can take anywhere.
  • 250A TIG output on 240V handles aluminum fabrication and thick steel without oversized shop machines.
  • 120V/240V dual-voltage input runs from garage outlets or full shop circuits without electrical upgrades.
  • AC Mix TIG blends AC cleaning with DC penetration for faster aluminum welds on heavy sections.
  • Double Pulse TIG reduces heat input, controlling distortion while producing consistent stacked-dime weld profiles.
  • 25' torch and 25' foot pedal extend reach across large fabrication tables without repositioning the machine.
