MIG / Stick / TIG Welder - FORCE 132MST
Offered as a 6-piece "Ready Kit", the FORCE 132MST is packed with features and value. Everything you need to pull the trigger, with some bonus features not usually found on machines in this class. Includes: 132MST machine with torch, earth lead, stick lead, 10A plug fitted, spool of gasless wire, premium welding gloves, spare tips and wire brush. Impressive 130 amps output for welding up to 5mm steel in MIG mode, and super-easy-to-use 'synergic' controls with LCD displays, all in a very portable 6.5kg unit. Plus: Gas & Gasless MIG, Stick and TIG capability, Stick arc-force adjustment, TIG slope-up control, Quick-connect gas inlet, 7-year warranty offer, and much more!
WC-132MSTRK 134.03
FUNCTIONS
- MIG (Gas / Gasless)
- Stick
- TIG (Lift-Arc)
AT A GLANCE:
- 130A @ 26% max MIG output
- Weld up to 5mm Mild Steel (max MIG capacity)
- Fitted with 10A 240V plug
- Takes 1kg (D100mm) spools
- Ready-to-weld with gasless ‘MIG’ and/or Stick
KEY FEATURES:
- Industry-first 7-year warranty**
- Ready to weld with Gasless MIG &/or Stick - includes; Roll of gasless wire, Wire brush / chipping hammer, Earth lead, Stick welding lead, Gloves
- Very easy-to-use synergic MIG controls (select wire & gas, then just set dial based on material thickness)
- Digital readout displays
- Lightweight, only 6.5kg
- Very compact L350 x W190 x H290mm
- Stick/MMA Arc-Force adjustment, for stable arc & reduced electrode sticking
- Stick/MMA Hot-Start (built in) for easy electrode striking
- TIG Slope-Up adjustment, for smoother arc ignition
- Quick-change MIG wire spool hub design with twist-lock spool retainer
- Quick-connect gas inlet connection, for fast & easy gas hose fitting/removal (gas hose is optional extra)
- Over-specified 16mm² cables on torch, earth, & stick leads for reliability*
*This is especially an advantage when running gasless wires, where the torch cable tends to heat up faster without the cooling effect of gas, and if cable is under-sized this will restrict the output of the machine - Electrical gas solenoid valve built into machine*
*For on/off gas control when using solid/gas MIG wires. Many other machines in this class have a simple mechanical gas valve in handle of the MIG torch to reduce cost - instead, the 132MST has an electrically-operated gas soleniod valve inside the machine, which is more robust and reliable.
APPLICATION & CAPABILITY:
- For serious hobbyist, and occasional light trade & maintenance use
For trade/field/site work, we recommend models Force 160MST & above, which have heavier-duty "Euro-connect" torches and wire drive systems. - Suitable for MIG welding ≤130A with solid mild steel (0.6/0.8/0.9mm), gasless flux-cored (0.8/0.9mm), & stainless-steel (0.8/0.9mm) wires
- NOT recommended for MIG welding of aluminium
- Stick welding ≤120A with most types of common electrodes (2.0-3.2mm), including steel & stainless
- TIG welding ≤120A (DC lift-arc) of steel, stainless, copper & chrome molly up to 2-3mm max thickness
- NOT suitable for TIG welding of aluminium (this requires AC/DC TIG capability, such as the Force 201T machine)
INCLUDES:
- MIG Torch BZL 15 2m direct-connect
- Earth Lead 2m
- Stick Welding Lead 2m
- Driver Roller ‘knurled’ for 0.8/0.9mm gasless wire
- Roll of 0.9mm gasless wire (0.45kg)
- Wire brush / chipping hammer
- Premium welding gloves
- Spare MIG tips
OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES & COMMON SPARE PARTS:
- Gas Regulator (4-AR1), required for MIG welding with solid/gas wires and/or TIG welding
- Gas Hose Kit (WC-03338), required for MIG welding with solid/gas wires
- TIG Torch #17FV 4m (part no WC-00992)
- T100 Welding Trolley (part no WC-06235)
- MIG Torch Spares (BZL 15)
- Drive Rollers (note: 'v-groove' roller is required for MIG welding with solid/gas wires)
