Eastwood Canada MP250i Multi-Process 250 Amp Welder MIG - TIG - ARC 54500

Product Overview

Description

When you want a multi-process welder that can handle big jobs with no compromises, you need the Eastwood Elite MP250i. This 250-Amp welder can produce quality welds in steel up to 1/2-in. thick, yet versatile enough to weld thin sheet metal. It allows you to work from either a 120V or 240V power supply as well.

The MP250i includes everything you need to weld mild or stainless steel is included - a flex-head WP-17 torch for TIG welding, a Tweco-style torch for MIG, and an electrode holder for stick welding. An optional spool gun can be added to allow MIG welding aluminum. The heavy duty internal MIG wire feed motor holds up to 44-lb spools of steel or stainless wire.

The Eastwood Elite MP250i is separately plumbed for both MIG and TIG welding so you can quickly switch between operations without having to change over gas bottles and regulators. The integrated rolling cart includes storage for two gas bottles as well as side hooks for easy cable storage.

And it’s all backed up by Eastwood’s 3-year warranty and lifetime tech support.

Eastwood Elite MP250i features:

• Operates on either 120V or 240V power
• MIG-weld steel and stainless steel up to 1/2-in thick, aluminum up to 1/4-in thick (with optional spool gun)
• Square-wave inverter technology and high-frequency start for quality aluminum welds
• TIG-weld steel and stainless steel up to 3/8-in thick
• Stick-weld steel and stainless steel up to 1/2-in thick
• True DC TIG welder with foot pedal and high-frequency start
• WP-17 flex-head TIG torch for improved agility and 8-ft pedal for maneuverability
• Fully independent MIG and TIG gas systems includes 2 gas regulator/flow meters
• Integrated storage cart with wheels, dual gas bottle storage, and side hooks for easy cable storage
• Backed by Eastwood's no-hassle return policy and 3-year warranty

The rated Duty Cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The Eastwood MP250i has a Duty Cycle of 60% at 250 Amps. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes. If welding at 250 Amps with a 60% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 6 Minutes with 4 Minutes of cooling for the Welder. If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, the Welder will automatically shut off, however the fan will continue running to cool the internal components. When a safe temperature has been reached, the Welder will automatically switch the Welder output back on. To increase the Duty Cycle you can turn down the Voltage Output control.
