Stickmate LX 235 AC-1

AC Stick (SMAW) Arc Welding Power Source he Stickmate LX 235 AC Stick welding power sources have the control to get the exact heat you need — always. Also, these machines allow weld time to increase when amperage decreases. They have the range and muscle to handle many Stick welding, hard surfacing, and cutting jobs. At the same time, they have the precision for low hydrogen and special alloy electrodes. Accu-Set™ design provides accurate heat control with infinite amperage control. This Stick welder also allows a higher duty cycle when amperages decrease to give you more arc time when welding thinner materials. #500420 Includes: 15-ft. (4.5 m) electrode cable with heavy-duty holder 10-ft. (3 m) work cable with clamp 5-ft. (1.5 m) power cord with plug Applications: Farms Ranches Ornamental Iron Garages Hobbyists Maintenance Individuals Accu-Set™ amperage indicator Accu-Set is an exclusive design for accurately controlling amperage or heat output. As you turn the Accu-Set™ control, the indicator more clearly shows the amperage setting. Infinite current control The precise control of the Stickmate LX allows the operator to adjust output by as little as 1-amp increments. Users can always get the exact heat they need, unlike the step control design on competitive products. Output selector switch Allows you to quickly select low or high range without adjusting the output leads. High 100% duty cycle rating With two AC ranges to select from, you have greater control of weld performance. Fully varnished magnetic coils Varnish protects and lengthens the life of the coils inside for increased reliability. The cooling fan runs continuously and helps to extend the life of the power source. Five-year warranty on transformers, stabilizers and generators; three years on electronics (drive motors, rectifiers); and one year on guns. Specifications (SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.)
