Accessories for the ESAB Fabricator 186 AC/DC Welder:

This stick and TIG welding machine is perfect for experienced welders, tradesmen, maintenance and repair, and heavy-duty jobs. It offers three process capabilities: HF TIG, LIFT TIG, and STICK solutions with AC and DC output. This is a fully-featured, professional-grade machine designed to be easy to use with integrated digital controls and a simple to use set up chart.

User reviews on this machine have been excellent, and more than a few welders have replaced their big single phase TIG welders with the ESAB Fabricator 186. It's affordably priced, has a respectable duty cycle, and an AC/DC inverter with adjustable ac frequency. Better arc characteristics, low power consumption and it takes up 1/20 of the space of old-school machines. 

Three Process Capability: HF TIG (GTAW), LIFT TIG (GTAW), STICK (SMAW).

The ESAB Fabricator 186 AC/DC is ideal for:

• Experienced welders
• Tradesmen
• Maintenance and repair
• Heavy-duty jobs

Features & Benefits:

TIG:

• AC and DC output for aluminum and non-ferrous alloys, stainless, mild steel & chromoly
• AC Frequency: Adjustable frequency of the AC square wave when welding on aluminum for optimized set up (15 Hz - 150Hz)
• Wave Balance: Adjustable for optimized penetration or cleaning action when welding on aluminum
• HF Arc Start: Provides non-contact arc starting that eliminates tungsten or material contamination
• Lift TIG Start: Provides optimized TIG arc starting without the use of high frequency
• Pulse: Changes the weld current from high to low at a specified frequency, reduces heat input on thin material (0.5 Hz - 200 Hz)
• Pre flow & Postflow: Enables independent control over shielding gas before and after the weld
• Upslope / Downslope & Crater modes: Eliminates cracking at the end of the weld
• Hot Start: Ensures fusion at arc starts for both TIG and Stick processes

STICK: - Adjustable Arc Force & Hot Start Control for optimum Stick electrode performance.

Other Features:
- Digital Meters: Voltage and Amperage; Preview and Hold Capability for easy setup
- Trigger Control: 4T (Latch) eliminates operator fatigue
- Comprehensive Setup Chart: Weld set up guide for optimum welding performance over a wide range of materials
- Remote Receptacle: Enables connection of remote control devices like a foot pedal and torch slide control
- Excellent Portability: Weighs just 48.4 lbs
- Overload Protection: Shuts down the power source to protect the internal electrical components from overheating
- IP23S: Suitable for outdoor use.
