Take your welding capabilities to new heights with the Miller CST 282 Stick/TIG Welder. Weighing in at less than 35 pounds, this powerhouse is 20% lighter than its predecessor, making it the ideal companion for welders on the move. Don't let its small size fool you—the CST 282 packs a punch with 280 amps of output, capable of handling stick electrodes up to 3/16 inch and delivering smooth DC TIG welds on pipe and plate.
Forget about checking voltage inputs or rewiring your machine. With Auto-Line™ Technology, the CST 282 is ready to work wherever you are. It automatically accepts any input power from 208V to 575V, whether single-phase or three-phase. This means you can move from the shop to the field and plug into whatever power is available without skipping a beat. It's the ultimate solution for contractors who face unpredictable power setups.
Achieving the perfect weld is easier than ever. The CST 282 features a simple, accurate interface with a digital meter and push-button controls, allowing you to preset and monitor your amperage with precision. The machine is designed to make you look good, with Adaptive Hot Start™ that prevents electrode sticking and Lift-Arc™ for clean TIG starts. Plus, with specific settings for 6010 and 7018 rods, you get a customized arc that feels just right for the job.
Durability and versatility are built into every inch of the CST 282. The Universal Connector System gives you the freedom to swap between connector styles if needed, though this model comes ready with industry-standard Dinse connectors. The fan-on-demand cooling system keeps the machine running cool while reducing noise and energy consumption. Whether you are in mechanical contracting, maintenance, or high-purity processing, the Miller CST 282 is the reliable partner you need.
