The Thunder 255 is an adaptable powerhouse designed to handle a variety of welding tasks. Whether you’re looking to perform MIG, DC TIG, or Stick welding, this machine is a perfect fit for any welding shop, catering to both fabrication and production needs. Utilizing Everlast’s renowned IGBT inverter technology, this unit is digitally controlled by a microprocessor, ensuring a stable and precise arc across diverse conditions. The Thunder 255 offers an extensive array of functions and features, along with a level of adjustability that sets it apart from other welders in its category.

Equipped with a built-in wire feeder, the Thunder 255 excels as both a conventional MIG welder (Short Arc and Spray) and a Pulsed Spray MIG welder (Single Pulse), offering function selections for each. Furthermore, this model supports FCAW and FCAW-P (Self-Shielded Flux Core and Gas Shielded Flux-Core) wires, enhancing its versatility.

Notes This machine is NOT AC Capable(will NOT weld Aluminum). DC ONLY. Minimum Generator Wattage needed for maximum output on 240V: 8500 W NOTE: Use only with a generator rated by its manufacturer as "clean power" if using with a generator.  Consult manufacturer of generator for certification. Everlast does not approve or endorse generator brands or models, however, if the damage to the welder occurring from use with a generator not labeled as producing clean power by its manufacturer is not warrantable.  Typically clean power is represented as less than 5% THD. ** Supplied AK36 MIG Gun installed with a Yellow STEEL Liner for wire/tip sizes 1.2/1.6mm (.045/.060") (subject to change) Appearance and type of accessories and consumables may vary from what is depicted.
