It uses the same traditional design of the AC-225, but adds the smother, more stable DC welding arc. Ideal for farm, shop, and home use where improved are welding performance is desired. The AC/DC 225/125 is an arc welding power source with an AC welding output range of 40-225 amps and a DC welding output of 30-125 amps. It is an extremely useful stick welding power source for maintenance repair, fabrication, construction, erection and hard surfacing applications. Also for cutting and piercing holes in steel. The AC/DC 225/125 comes with a 3 year warranty on parts and labor and is manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements.

Review: Tombstone works well - Quality and performance is as expected. This was a long awaited upgrade from a wire feed. I really needed something that could reliably tackle thicker, heavier projects here on our farm. This has already been used to successfully repair a 15' batwing frame for a tractor.
Review: This welder has perhaps the best reputation of any - This welder has perhaps the best reputation of any, and has been around for a long while. They're durable, dependable, and work well. I turned mine to a scratch start TIG by simply buying a $15 adapter the stinger clamps on. Just turn this welder to straight polarity, and clamp the stinger to this inline adapter--which is in the middle of your gas line for a TIG torch connected to a pressure regulator atop an argon tank. The machine isn't altered in any way, and you can run nice beads considering you have no foot or thumb control. If you can find a thumb control which will close as a throttle, the gas line, then you have a legitimate TIG welder. I use the stick DCEP mode for many things.

### ⭐ Not Lincoln’s fault but it was with the same product twice.
*by T***Y on July 8, 2018*

I had faith in this welder as i’ve Used it before and wanted to buy one of my own but after $700 and a month of waiting I gave amazon 2 chances to bring me a welder that wasn’t beat up, punctured, cords cut, dials broken and parts pre-damaged. It’s a great welder so I bought it from some place else besides Amazon. So be warned if you purchase this through Amazon it may show up in poor condition.
