Power MIG® 180C

Power MIG®. The Professional’s ChoiceSM.

Whether you’re a farmer or a fabricator, an autobody shop or a backyard mechanic, the Power MIG® 180C will help you get the job done! It’s a portable wire welder designed for use with industrial 230 volt input power, so you can weld on thicker material— up to 3/16" with MIG welding and 1/2" with gas-less flux-cored welding.

Use the continuous voltage control to precisely dial in the settings some thin sheet metal and aluminum applications require for optimal results.

Lincoln® Diamond Core Technology™ and the rugged industrial drive system will make it easy to get great results on steel, stainless or aluminum. Compare performance, features and price. . . you’ll settle on Power MIG®. The Professional’s ChoiceSM!

Advantage Lincoln

Superior Arc Performance:

•Exclusive Diamond Core Technology™ delivers an outstanding arc you notice immediately compared to competitive models:

–Great arc starts make getting started easy.

–Wide voltage ‘sweet spot’ gives you a very forgiving arc, so setting controls is a snap.

–Extremely low spatter reduces clean-up.

–Outstanding aluminum & stainless performance, not just mild steel.

•Wide 30 – 180 amp welding output range is the highest output in its class – use .025" wire on the thinnest sheet metal up to .045" flux- cored wire for thick plate.

•MIG weld 24 gauge up through 3/16" sheet metal in a single pass. Weld up to 1/2" steel using self-shielded Lincoln® Innershield® wires (FCAW-S).

Professional Features:

•Industrial Cast Aluminum Drive features:

–Dual gear-driven drive rolls for positive traction.

–Patented split wire guides for optimal wire alignment.

–Brass-to-Brass gun connections for enhanced connectivity.

–Large industrial closed-design drive motor for improved torque and trouble-free performance.

•Spool Gun Ready – add the optional Magnum® 100SG spool gun for reliable operation at the high wire feed speeds aluminum welding demands. No expensive outboard modules required.

•No Hassle Tool-less Design – for wire spool mounting, wire drive service and polarity changes.

•Get More, Do More – Start out with more contact tips, nozzles, drive rolls and wire electrode for MIG or flux-cored welding.

•Innovative contact tip, drive roll and nozzle storage keeps all your consumables close at hand.

•Electrically ‘cold’ electrode provides an added measure of operator safety.

Superb Quality:

•Patent-pending Power Chassis™ channels airflow to cool power systems, structurally secures key components and traps wires and cables to avoid unnecessary abrasion.

•Toughest PC Board Protection in the industry – ‘Potted’ to seal sen- sitive components from the environment, ‘trayed’ in a tough plastic tray to add rigidity and shock resistance.

•Three-year Lincoln warranty. Two-year extended warranty available – (U.S. and Canada only).
