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 sensitive components from the environment, ‘trayed’ in a tough plastic tray to add rigidity and shock resistance.
    • Three Year Lincoln Warranty
