OVERVIEW

Save Steps and Weld Smarter

Every welder knows the frustration of striking an arc, realizing the heat isn't quite right, and having to climb down from a scaffold or crawl out of a tight spot just to turn a dial on the machine. The Lincoln Electric K857 Remote Output Control solves that problem instantly. This rugged little box puts the control of your welder right next to you, giving you the freedom to fine-tune your settings without breaking your flow. Whether you are stick welding on a bridge or running flux-cored wire in a fabrication shop, having control at your fingertips means better welds and less fatigue at the end of the day.

The K857 is built tough because Lincoln knows where you work. It features a heavy-duty metal case that can take a beating, and the large dial is easy to grab and turn even when you have your heavy welding gloves on. The 25-foot cable gives you plenty of room to move around your workpiece, and the 6-pin Amphenol connector plugs securely into your Lincoln machine, so you don't have to worry about loose connections cutting out in the middle of a bead. It essentially duplicates the knob on your welder—if your machine goes from 20 to 300 amps, this remote gives you that same full range right at your hip.

Using a remote isn't just about convenience; it's about quality. When you can adjust your amperage or voltage on the fly, you are more likely to dial it in perfectly for the specific joint you are welding, rather than settling for "close enough" because the machine is too far away. This leads to better penetration, nicer bead appearance, and fewer defects to grind out later. If you are running a Lincoln machine with a 6-pin remote plug, the K857 is the tool that will make your workday smoother and your welds better.

FAQ

The K857 comes with a 25-foot (7.6 meter) cable attached to the unit.

It utilizes a standard 6-pin Amphenol connector, compatible with the remote receptacle found on many Lincoln Electric power sources.

It controls whichever parameter is set to be controlled by the remote on the power source. Typically, this is amperage for Stick/TIG (CC) and voltage for MIG/Flux-Core (CV).

Yes, the K857 is generally compatible with the Ranger 305 and other Lincoln engine drives that feature the 6-pin remote connector.

Yes, extension cables are available separately to increase the reach of the remote control.

The unit is housed in a rugged metal box designed to withstand impact and typical industrial job site conditions.

The dimensions are approximately 5.25 inches high, 12.5 inches wide, and 6.5 inches deep.

If your machine has a 6-pin Amphenol remote receptacle, no adapter is needed. Older machines with different pin configurations may require an adapter.
