Description: I Remember when things just worked! When you would go to the store, buy something and sometimes pass it on to your kids. Those were the good old days! When you didn't have to worry about “Getting your money's worth”. Nowadays, it seems things are more disposable. Everything changes so fast, that the logic might seem. "Why make it last, it will be outdated soon", But there are some things that will never go out of style. A solid, simple and Well made workhorse born May 12,1961 in Cleveland, Ohio. Of course 60+ years later I'm talking about The Lincoln Electric AC225 welder. I am a fellow welder, not some fancy store.

What others customers had to say about the lincoln: @joseHernandez-sx2lnmy pops brought ours home in the 80's I was only 5 years old .Since then I worked in fabricating pressure vessels, vacuum chambers, food processing equipment, oil refineries, ironworker, I've done a lot and just the other day my dad caught me off guard and had me weld for him using the same old Lincoln with the original 6013 rod from when he got the machine and it welded so smooth I didn't even have to chip off the slag (real welders know what I am talking about). The look on my dads face was priceless. Keep in mind that nothing impresses old school fathers like mine. Lincoln made this machine to last . @ChiNguyen-wf1qtLincoln sure kicks ass. Bought a used one still works like new. Excellent welder @joshuathewelder24My grandpa has one of these welders that is 42 years old and it still works. He bought it new in the late 1970’s. We run 7018, 6011, and nickel 99 rod. It’s a very smooth running machine @MrGoblue1131Never welded before but have some projects that need done, so after much research, I decided to go stick over mig due to simplicity and cost. I will probably only use it a few times a year and don't need it to be pretty or too professional. Glad to hear all the positives on this machine. I just bought a new 110/220 one from Home Depot and am excited to get started. @gunnuts82I got mine.. it's a reliable beast! PEOPLE... IF YOU HAVE A FANCY MULTI PROCESS MACHINE YOU SHOULD STILL PICK UP ONE OF THESE OLD WORK HORSES AND LEARN AND TEACH YOUR KIDS THE OLD FASHION AC STICK... PS 7014 RUNS LIKE A DREAM ON THE OLD AC. @reloadnorth772Dad bought one of these when I was 9 or 10. I'm 60 now, and the current owner of it. I changed the very noisy fan last year, and put in a more efficient one from Amazon. This unit still does amazing work for its age. @Comm0utI've had my AC-225/DC-125 for nearly forty years and it's more than paid for itself. They're easy to work on if needed (rarely) and converting old ones to socketed panel connectors is cheap if your old leads need replacement. @canamrider7195I bought mine (Century AC 230 Amp), used in Oct 2021. I'm loving it. So versatile and simple. Pick the amperage and go at it. @johnstrunck3659Time proven. All a person needs after buying one of these machines is a little practice time and then the possibility will become immense. @Natedoc808Going to pick one of these up tomorrow along with a 1970s delta bench grinder and a torch/tank. I'm a crappy welder as I learned from my dad who isn't a great welder on a ACDC225 starting some 35 years ago. I cannot wait to start practicing and fabricating. First project are some Gate brackets and hinges for the front driveway as they don't make a matching hardware for what is embedded in the brick/concrete columns from 1966. @billarroo1I bought mine at WW Grainger. About 1971, I had it for over 20 years and used it a lot !!In all that time the only problem was. The fan quit. I took it apart and oiled the bronze bushings, and it was all like new again !! I used a lot of 7014 rods. It was a Very good AC machine !!
