ESAB recently introduced a new industrial ready-to-weld MIG package, the Migmaster^® 275, designed to provide more power for tough jobs. Rated 275 amps at 40% duty cycle and 200 amps at continuous 100% duty cycle, this machine features DC welding output from 30 to 300 amps with new heavy-plate parameters for 5/8" and above.

Sales manager Andy Schuk calls the new Migmaster 275 “a beefier machine for less money that will last longer than competitive machines.” The extra amperage gives you more power in a small machine and the direct DC current supplies the flat, smooth arc characteristics that welders desire, Schuk says. Welders also appreciate the higher duty cycle. The machine is ideal for a wide range of applications from hobby welding to light fabrication.

Twenty-four overlapping heat (voltage) steps allow accurate fine tuning. Flat and slope taps further assure accurate fine tuning of short arc parameters for reduced spatter. A solid state contactor control provides high reliability under repetitive short cycle welds.

A built-in wire feeder with a pulse width modulated, solid state speed control feeds wire from 40 to 750 ipm. Additional features include tool-less polarity change, an NAS gun connection with built-in torch wrap and a built-in spool-on-gun control.

Migmaster 275 packages include a power source with built-in wire feeder, factory-installed undercarriage with cylinder rack, GunMaster NAS MIG gun, dual groove feed roll, flowmeter regulator, and all necessary hoses, cables and accessories for immediate welding.
