JEGS 555-81541 MIG/Arc Welder Features:

• Easy to carry with the help of a built-in handle
• Welding voltage and wire feed are adjusted with one control according to the thickness of the welded sheet
• The length of the arc/welding heat is trimmed with another control, and once the right value is found there usually is no need to change it even when welding a thicker or thinner sheet
• Enjoy welding with freedom, flexibility, and ease of setting up and dialing in your welding project with the simple control design
• Specifications: 220v ac, duty cycle: 25% @ 180a/60% @ 117a, wire: 7.87 “ reel x 0.030 “ - 0.035 “
• MIG: The wire feed welding technique can provide a strong weld for even very thin metals which makes MIG welding ideal for assembling and repairing the body and or interior of any vehicle.
  • Supports both 11 lb. and 2 lb. wire reels with either 0.030 in.-0.035 in. welding wire
  • Welds up to 3/16 in. thick material
  • Requires shielding gas CO2 or Ar+CO2-mixed gases (not included)
  • Welding voltage and wire feed speed are adjusted with one control according to the thickness of the welded sheet
•  Arc: The arc electrode welding technique is the most economical welding method that provides the ability to create a good bond on rusty or dirty metals by melting the metal at the point of contact. It's used for welding thicker metals of 1/16 inch or greater such as tubing or frame rails.
  • Requires welding rod (not included)
  • Welds up to 3/16 in. thick material
  • The length of the arc is adjusted with a heat trimmer control based on material thickness, and once the right value is found there usually is no need to change it even when welding a thicker or thinner metal
  • Easy to use and is perfect for a novice or professional
  • Small and efficient Unit
  • Easy to carry with the help of a built-in handle
  • 17 in. x 8 in. x 13 in. x 28 lbs.

FAQ

Are there welders that will MIG and stick weld?

• Yes, the versatile JEGS MIG/Arc Welder is capable of both MIG welding and stick welding applications. With its dual-functionality, this welder provides flexibility and convenience for tackling various welding tasks, whether you need to weld thin sheet metal with MIG or perform heavy-duty structural welds with stick electrodes.

Do I need gas with a MIG welder?

• Yes, MIG welding with the JEGS MIG/Arc Welder requires shielding gas to protect the weld from atmospheric contamination. The gas, typically a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide, creates a stable arc and prevents oxidation during the welding process, resulting in clean and strong welds on a variety of metals.

Does a MIG welder work for bodywork?

• Yes, the JEGS MIG/Arc Welder is suitable for bodywork and automotive welding applications. With its MIG head attachment and precise wire feeding capabilities, this welder allows for precise control over the welding process, making it ideal for automotive sheet metal repairs, fabrication, and restoration projects.

Do I need a 220-volt welder for heavy steel?

• Yes, a 220-volt welder offers higher power output for welding thick steel, and the JEGS MIG/Arc Welder is capable of handling heavy steel welding tasks. With its adjustable welding parameters and arc electrode holder for stick welding, this welder provides sufficient power and versatility for a wide range of welding applications, including heavy steel fabrication and repair.
