Cigweld Weldskill 170 Arc Welder

The built-in cooling fan helps keep the internal components at a safer operating temperature. This improves the duty cycle, which means you can weld for longer at higher amperages before the machine needs to rest. In practice, that equals more continuous welding time and better performance on bigger jobs.

The WeldSkill 170 is suitable for 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.2mm and 4.0mm electrodes. This covers a wide range of common rods used for everything from light sheet metal work through to heavier plate and structural welding, giving you plenty of flexibility with one machine.

Routine maintenance is simple: keep the machine clean and dry, check leads and connections regularly, and make sure vents and fan openings are free from dust and debris so cooling isn’t restricted. The built-in fan and over-temperature cut-out help protect the internals, reducing the risk of overheating-related damage.
