Draper Gas/Gasless MIG Welder, 160A

Versatile Gas/Gasless MIG Welding for Workshop and Home Use

The Draper MW170T is a compact 160 amp gas/gasless MIG welder that combines straightforward performance with genuine ease of use. With variable wire speed control, fan cooling, thermal overload protection, and built-in transport wheels, it's a well-equipped, multi-purpose machine for fabricators, mechanics, and serious DIY users who want a dependable welder for everyday tasks.

Key Features at a Glance

The MW170T delivers reliable welding performance in a manageable package:

• Gas and gasless operation for use with shielding gas or flux-cored wire
• 60–160A amperage range suitable for a wide variety of welding tasks
• Variable wire speed control for accurate arc tuning
• 1kg wire spool included — ready to weld straight out of the box
• Fan cooled to maintain consistent performance during use
• Thermal overload protection safeguards the unit against overheating
• Built-in transport wheels for easy workshop manoeuvrability
• Compatible with regular gas bottles for shielded MIG welding

Gas or Gasless — Your Choice

The MW170T's gas/gasless flexibility is one of its strongest features. Use it with shielding gas for cleaner, smoother welds on a wide range of materials in the workshop, or switch to flux-cored wire for gasless operation where outdoor conditions, wind, or convenience make running a gas bottle impractical. One machine genuinely covers both options — making it ideal for users who work indoors and out.

Easy to Use, Easy to Move

The combination of variable wire speed control and a 60–160A amperage range allows the welder to be tuned for different material thicknesses and wire types. Fan cooling and thermal overload protection keep the unit working safely under load, automatically cutting in if internal temperatures climb beyond safe limits. Built-in transport wheels make moving the welder around the workshop straightforward, despite its solid 32kg build.
