-Stack them three-high or purchase an affordable package that includes the new LF-72 feeder, a Magnum?? 400 MIG gun and more!

-Two output connectors allow you to optimally connect to high or low inductance for arc conrol. Use low inductance output connection when short-arc welding, and high inductance output connection with spray and globular transfer welding

???Features & Innovations

-Compact unit is 20 lbs. (9.0 kg) lighter and significantly smaller than competitive models ??? save your space!

-Easy access Twist-Mate?? connection on the front of the machine.

-Digital Ammeter/Voltmeter read-out display allows presets for added convenience and accuracy.

-Environmentally protected transformer and power rectifier are rugged and reliable.

-Provides line voltage compensation for maintaining weld consistency, even with changes of ??10%.

-Three-year warranty on parts and labor; seven-year warranty on power rectifier.
