It's a powerful machine, rated at 280 amps of output, but with a weight of just 41 pounds it can be carried around like a suitcase. It is perfect for rack mounting in tight places and features the primary controls on the front panel for easy accessibility. It is ideal for stick electrodes up to 3/16 inch and for TIG welding pipe and plate.
