Draper Gas/Gasless MIG Welder, 250A

Versatile MIG Welding for Workshop and Trade Use

The Draper MW260T is a heavy-duty 250 amp MIG welder built for fabricators, workshop professionals, and serious DIY users who demand flexibility and reliable performance. With both gas and gasless welding capability, dual-voltage compatibility, and a robust feature set, this machine adapts to a wide range of welding tasks — from light sheet metal repairs to thicker structural fabrication.

Key Features at a Glance

The MW260T combines power, precision, and practicality in one rugged unit:

• Gas and gasless operation for use with shielding gas or flux-cored wire
• Euro torch connection for quick torch changes and wide accessory compatibility
• Six-stage power setting with variable wire speed control for accurate arc tuning
• Built-in spot welding timer for clean, repeatable spot welds
• Accepts 5–15kg wire spools for extended welding sessions and reduced downtime
• Reinforced full-size gas bottle support for safe, stable cylinder handling
• Integrated wheel kit for easy workshop manoeuvrability
• Thermal overload protection safeguards internal components during demanding use

Dual-Voltage Power for Maximum Output

Unlike single-phase-only welders, the MW260T runs on both 230V and 400V supplies, allowing users to scale output to the job at hand. On a 400V supply, the welder delivers its full 250A capacity at 10% duty cycle, with 155A at 30% and 100A at 60% — ideal for thicker materials and prolonged welding runs. On 230V, it provides 165A at 10%, 95A at 30%, and 65A at 60%, making it equally suited to lighter fabrication where three-phase isn't available.

Precision Control for Cleaner Welds

The combination of a six-stage power selector and continuously variable wire speed control allows welders to fine-tune the arc for different material thicknesses and wire types. The dedicated spot welding timer adds further versatility, producing consistent spot welds without burn-through — a feature particularly valued in automotive panel work and sheet metal fabrication.

Built for Heavy-Duty Use

Weighing 58kg and measuring 770 x 375 x 530mm, the MW260T is a substantial machine engineered for stability and longevity. The reinforced gas bottle platform safely supports a full-size cylinder, while the integrated wheel kit makes moving the welder around the workshop straightforward. The 35/50 Dinse-type coupling and Euro torch connector ensure compatibility with widely available consumables and replacement torches.

Who Is the MW260T For?

This Draper MIG welder is well suited to professional fabricators, automotive repair specialists, agricultural and plant maintenance engineers, and advanced hobbyists working on car restoration, trailer building, or general metal fabrication. The gas/gasless flexibility makes it equally at home indoors with shielding gas or outdoors on site using flux-cored wire where wind would otherwise disrupt gas coverage.

Please Note

The MW260T is supplied without a plug fitted, as the appropriate connector depends on whether the welder will be wired to a 230V or 400V supply. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician to ensure correct and safe connection.
