OVERVIEW

Power and Portability for the Professional Welder

Take your TIG welding capabilities to the next level with the Miller Maxstar 280 DX. Whether you are in the shop or out in the field, this machine is built to perform. Weighing in at just 50 pounds and equipped with dual carry handles and an adjustable shoulder strap, the Maxstar 280 DX is the ultimate portable solution for welders who need 280 amps of power on the go. Gone are the days of worrying about input power hookups; with Auto-Line technology, you can plug into any voltage from 208 to 575 V, single or three-phase, and the machine adjusts automatically. No jumpers, no tools, just plug and weld.

The Maxstar 280 DX is packed with features designed to make your life easier and your welds better. The Pro-Set feature is a game-changer for quick setups, giving you the speed and confidence of pre-set controls for pulse and DIG settings. If you do a lot of pulse welding, you will appreciate the QuietPulse technology, which drastically cuts down on the annoying buzzing sound associated with DC pulse TIG, keeping your shop quieter and reducing ear fatigue. For those critical starts, the Blue Lightning high-frequency arc starter ensures consistent, non-contact ignition every time, so you don't contaminate your tungsten or your workpiece.

This model comes ready for heavy-duty cooling with the integrated Cooler Power Supply (CPS). This dedicated 120V outlet on the back of the machine is designed specifically for the Coolmate 1.3, ensuring your water cooler turns on and off with the welder, protecting your torch from overheating. The DX package also gives you full control over your weld cycle with a built-in sequencer, trigger hold options, and high-speed pulsing capabilities. From delicate aerospace alloys to heavy pipe welding, the Maxstar 280 DX gives you the control and reliability Miller is famous for.
