The Buddy Arc 200 is a robust and durable power source for the professional welder. The machine provides state-of-the-art welding performance and reliability through use of the latest high grade IGBT technology. Buddy Arc 200 provides a smooth DC (Direct Current) welding power which allows you to weld most metals, such as alloyed and non alloyed steel, stainless steel, and cast iron. The arc force and hot start settings are adjusted automatically according to the set welding current, giving excellent arc starts and welding performance across the amperage range of the machine. The Buddy Arc 200 can weld with up to 4.0mm electrodes. The Buddy Arc 200 can easily perform TIG -welding using a “Live Tig” start. Equip the power source with the optional Tig-Torch, which has a built-in gas valve and regulator, and a bottle of gas and you are ready to weld mild steel or stainless steel, with or without filler material.
