This portable powerhouse is designed to take on a wide range of MIG, Stick and TIG applications. It can deliver from 10 to 180 Amps of welding output power from 230 Volts input. Power like that is how work gets done.

MIG: When it comes to MIG (GMAW/FCAW) application, the Fabricator 181i offers advanced features such as digital meter, inductance control, infinitely variable voltage and a comprehensive, optimized set up guide that will have you welding like a professional in no time.

Stick: For Stick (SMAW) welding, because of its compact and light-weight design, the Fabricator 181i is perfect for those portable maintenance and repair jobs.

TIG: And for TIG (GTAW) welding, the 181i is ideal for steel and stainless steel welding, where high-precision/high-quality welds are required for applications like automotive racing and customization.
