Lincoln Electric AC-225-S Arc Welder

Description :
This is a Lincoln Electric AC-225-S Variable Voltage Arc Welder, a reliable workhorse of American-made welding equipment known for its durability and power. Built with a heavy-duty steel housing and classic red enamel finish, this unit delivers up to 225 amps of variable voltage for stick welding. Designed for single-phase 230V input, it’s capable of handling a variety of electrodes for mild steel, stainless, and low-alloy applications. The attached heavy-gauge copper welding leads and ground clamp remain intact, though the cables show moderate wear consistent with age and industrial use.
