The Power To Perform!
You work hard. You deserve the best tools. Consider the Precision TIG 185 for general fabrication, automotive/motorsports, vocational schools or the serious hobbyist. Professional features like patented Micro-Start™ Technology ensure a soft start throughout the amperage range. Patented Auto-Balance™ takes the guesswork out of optimizing cleaning action versus penetration. Standard Pulse control makes it easy to gain even greater heat control on thin materials. 

Compare the built-in torch parts storage compartment or torch cable/helmet hanger. And, get the optional cart and add a sizable storage bin for your remote and cables, twin filler rod tube stands and a low-lift gas bottle platform.



Competitive Advantage

Greater Output Range

  • 5-185 Amps (compare this to 10-180 Amps).

Patented MicroStart™ Technology Performance

  • Based on amperage, it automatically sets the optimal AC balance for the majority of everyday welding applications.
  • Simply select Auto Balance or manually set your desired level of cleaning or penetration.
  • MicroStart™ Technology (left): Delivers a focused and stable arc at low amperage.
    Conventional Starting (right): Relies heavily on intense high frequency and hot starting.

FREE Built-In Pulser!

  • Set the pulses per second to gain better heat control and bead profile.
  • Can be used for timing the consistent application of filler metal.
  • Included FREE! Not a $500 Option.

    Standard TIG weld at 60 amps (left) and Pulsed TIG Weld at 60 amps (right).
    Better heat control, better looking welds.

  • The most flexible welding torch cable available.
  • Reduces wrist strain and makes welding more comfortable.

Simple Control Panel Layout

  • Well-spaced for gloved hands.
  • Positive feedback with clear markings, tactile detents and pulsing indicator lights.

Adjustable Post Flow Control

  • Set a shorter time to save gas or longer time as the welding application demands.
  • No need to wrestle with hidden menus.

User Convenience Features

  • Machine-top storage box for easy access to your torch expendable parts.
  • Removable lift eye gives you more clearance when locating the machine under a welding bench.
  • Torch and cable hanger can be located to either side of the machine to hang your welding torch and helmet when not in use.
