Upgrade your welding fleet with the Miller Maxstar 280 DX, a powerful yet portable inverter welder designed for the most demanding DC TIG and Stick applications. Weighing only 47 pounds, this machine offers the ultimate combination of capability and mobility, allowing operators to transport the unit easily around the shop or job site using the dual carry handles or the included adjustable shoulder strap. It is the perfect machine for industries ranging from aerospace and heavy equipment manufacturing to infrastructure and shipbuilding.
Never worry about input voltage again. The Maxstar 280 DX features Miller's proprietary Auto-Line technology, which automatically adjusts to any primary power source from 208 to 575 volts, single or three-phase. This eliminates the need for manual linking mechanisms and protects the machine from dirty power, ensuring consistent arc performance regardless of the power supply quality.
The DX model is packed with features to enhance weld quality and ease of use. The Pro-Set feature allows for rapid setup of weld parameters with the confidence of professional settings. For precision work, the high-speed DC TIG pulse controls allow for reduced heat input and increased arc stability. The machine also features a Cooler Power Supply (CPS), an integrated 120-volt receptacle dedicated to powering a Coolmate 1.3 water cooler (sold separately), which activates only when the welder is on to prevent torch failure.
Miller has designed the Maxstar 280 DX to be upgradeable and expandable. A front-panel memory card data port allows you to easily update software and expand product features as they become available, ensuring your investment stays current with the latest welding technologies. Whether you are welding thin gauge stainless steel or performing heavy-duty stick welding with 6010 electrodes, the Maxstar 280 DX delivers the reliability and performance Miller is known for.
