Easy-MIG 180 208/230/1/60
208/230 Volt AC Input Compact Wire Feeder

Product Number:  K2698-1

Get it done with the Easy-MIG™ 180 for farm, light fabrication, auto or home projects! If you have access to industrial 208/230 volt input power, you can weld on thicker material – up to 3/16” with MIG welding and 1/2” with gas-less flux-cored welding.

Simple two knob tapped control makes it easy to tackle thin steel, stainless or aluminum sheet metal with MIG or thicker steel with flux-cored welding. Compare the precise drive, rugged construction and full list of standard accessories...the Lincoln® Easy-MIG™ 180 is an excellent choice!


Advantage Lincoln
Superior Arc Performance:
Forgiving arc makes dialing in your application easy.
Smooth arc starts with minimal spatter.
Wide 30-180 amp welding output range - use .025" wire on the thinnest sheet metal up to .045" flux-cored wire on thick plate.
MIG weld 24 gauge up to 3/16" sheet metal in a single pass. Weld up to 1/2” steel using self-shielded Lincoln® Innershield® wire (FCAW-S).

Professional Features:
Precise Wire Drive features:
– Precision full adjustment drive system reduces chance of wire tangling and crushing.
– 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.
Innovative contact tip, drive roll and nozzle storage – keeps all your consumables close at hand.

Superb Quality:
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/90 Days on gun and cable assembly.
