Description
Get the power you need for big welding jobs with the Eastwood MIG 250. This advanced 250-Amp MIG welder can be used on a wide range of projects from 20-ga sheet metal up to 1/2-in. steel plates. Infinitely adjustable output lets you set the amperage anywhere between 50- and 250-Amps for greater control.
With the flexibility to run on either 120V or 240V power, you can plug it in virtually anywhere you’re working. And thanks to its lightweight inverter technology, the MIG 250 weighs just 46-lbs – half that of similar welders – so you take it just about anywhere.
Equipped with a long, ergonomically designed Trafimet ERGOPLUS24 torch, an 8-ft. power cable, and a 9.5-ft. ground cable, the MIG 250 makes comfort a top priority as move around your project. A cast aluminum and steel drive motor feeds 0.023-in. to 0.045-in. MIG wire or 0.030 to 0.045-in. flux-core wire smoothly and reliably. The ability to run either 4-in. (2-lbs) or 8-in. (10-lbs) spools of wire gives you additional flexibility, and with the optional MIG welder spool gun installed, you can also weld aluminum.
And it’s all backed up by Eastwood’s 3-year warranty and lifetime tech support.
