Lightning MTS 275 with TIG Package
The new latest generation of the Lightning MTS 275 carries compact, multi-process welding to a new level. This all new unit features improved synergic function from previous models and simplified setup with more accurate settings than before. The Lightning 275 features more output than any of its current competitors with 275A of MIG output which makes it capable of short circuit and spray arc welding. The revised design removes all hidden menus and bottle necks during setup. All settings are visible on one page at one time, which helps the user to always know what to expect from the unit when welding. The improved PowerSET function allows the customer to enter basic operating parameters in MIG, TIG, or Stick mode, and automatically selects the proper Amps and Volts (where applicable) for the user. This new unit also features a two types of Flux-Cored operation with both gas shielded and gasless Flux-cored settings. As with the previous generations, it is still capable of operating on 120V if the unit needs to be carried to the jobsite. Of course, you'll have reduced output, but you will not suffer for lack of available duty cycle. As far as operating duty cycle at full-tilt output, the machine musters a respectable 35% duty cycle in MIG and TIG modes. Stick mode yields an impressive 60% duty cycle at maximum amperage. Stepping down just a notch on power, in both MIG, and TIG modes at 250 Amps, you'll have a heavy industrial rating of 60% duty cycle. Stepping down slightly for Stick, at 160 Amps, you'll have 100% Duty Cycle available. The unit also now includes push-pull gun capability which expands the job-site versatility of this welder.
