OVERVIEW

The Legendary Bobcat, Redefined for Modern Fabrication

Meet the Miller Bobcat 265 with ArcReach and Remote Start/Stop—a machine that takes the industry's most popular engine-driven welder and makes it better in every measurable way. Miller has listened to the needs of field welders and fabricators, delivering a machine that is lighter, smaller, and smarter, without sacrificing the rugged durability that the Bobcat name is known for. Whether you are working on a farm, a construction site, or in mobile fabrication, this welder is designed to help you get more done with less hassle.

Unmatched Convenience with Remote Control

Time is money on the job site, and the Bobcat 265 saves you plenty of it. With ArcReach technology, you have full control of your weld parameters right at your fingertips, even if you are hundreds of feet away from the truck. No more walking back and forth to dial in your settings—just adjust and weld. Additionally, the Remote Start/Stop fob puts you in command of the engine. Turn the machine off when you're prepping or grinding to save fuel and cut down on noise, then fire it back up instantly when you're ready to strike an arc.

Power and Portability

Weighing in at just 382 pounds, the Bobcat 265 is over 100 pounds lighter than previous generations. This weight reduction means less wear and tear on your truck and more capacity for carrying other essential tools and materials. Despite its compact size, it packs a serious punch, delivering 11,000 watts of peak generator power. Best of all, the weld and auxiliary power systems are separate, so you can run grinders, lights, or compressors at full power while your partner is welding, with absolutely no interference to the arc.

Built for the Long Haul

Reliability is at the core of the Bobcat 265. Manufactured in Appleton, Wisconsin, it features copper windings and heavy-duty internal leads for superior durability. The intuitive digital interface makes maintenance easy by tracking engine hours and service intervals, ensuring your machine stays in peak condition. With a direct spool gun connection for aluminum work and AutoSet technology for quick setup, the Bobcat 265 is the versatile, all-in-one solution for the modern welder.

  1. Works great for mobile aluminum repairs.

    The reason I bought this specific machine is for the direct spool gun connection and the price.

  2. Disappointed in Miller overall

    Not disappointed with the Bobcat thus far, my major disappointment is the fact that I had to buy this machine to keep working while my 2 year old Trailblazer 330 with 256 hrs on it was in the shop getting the board replaced. Miller needs to do better, and keep in mind people make there livings with these machines.

  4. Great machine but too smart.

    Great machine so far. Im still trying to figure out more info on it. I really like the auto set function. I don't need a helper to make adjustments for me. The machine reads it and auto sets for what I'm doing.
