Millermatic-135

Infinite voltage control with wire feed speed tracking provides broader operating range with finer control by automatically increasing or decreasing wire feed speed when voltage is adjusted.

Durable cast aluminum feedhead incorporates dual groove quick-change drive roll and calibrated, spring-loaded tension arm designed to make setup easier and faster.

Easy access to output studs provides convenient polarity changeover when switching from solid or flux cored wires.

"Tip Saver" short circuit protection shuts down output when tip is shorted to the work. Extends contact tip life and protects internal components from damage. Trigger reset permits quick reset at torch rather than unit.

Built-in solid-state contactor circuit makes wire electrically "cold" until trigger is pulled. Makes unit safer, and is easier to position torch to work before starting weld.

Thermal overload protection shuts down the unit and activates over temperature light if airflow is blocked or duty cycle is exceeded. Automatically resets when fault is corrected and unit cools.

SP-135 Plus

Combination Wire Feeder/MIG and Flux-Cored Welder with Welding Cart
List Price:771.00 (USD) *See Details
K2299-1 SP-135 Plus/Welding Cart One-Pak


This user-friendly wire feeder/welder from Lincoln Electric is ready to help you make short work of many around-the-home jobs, hobby projects, autobody repairs or farm chores! The SP-135 Plus handles MIG welds on a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel and aluminum. Flux-cored welds on mild steel are a breeze. Achieve outstanding performance on thin sheet metal to medium plate by fine-tuning the arc using the continuous output voltage and wire feed speed controls. The SP-135 Plus also boasts industry leading output and arc performance in the 115V machine class. To top it off, we've made it easy to get started – virtually everything you need to MIG weld mild steel is included in one convenient package! Just add shielding gas.


Advantage Lincoln

• Ready To Weld! Includes mild steel MIG wire and adjustable gas regulator and hose kit. Just add shielding gas (sold separately).
• Continuous full-range adjustment of voltage and wire feed speed allows for fine-tuning of the arc and precise control of heat input.
• Capabilities include welding 24 gauge through 5/16" mild steel plate. Install K663-2 to weld 22 gauge through 1/8" aluminum.
• Designed to feed .023-.035" (0.6-0.9mm) diameter mild and stainless steel MIG wire, .035" (0.9mm) diameter flux-cored wire and .035" diameter 4043 aluminum MIG wire.
• Welder settings reference chart conveniently located inside wire feed section door makes it easy to set the machine for mild steel welding jobs.
• Gun trigger safety feature keeps welding wire electrically "cold" until trigger is pressed.
• Adjustable brake spindle accommodates both 8" (200mm) diameter and 4" (100mm) diameter spools of wire.
• Built-in "burnback" function insures proper wire stickout after each weld with no sticking in the weld puddle.
• Engineered and built for dependable service and long life expectancy.
• "Quick Release" idle pressure arm easily adjusts wire tension for positive wire feeding.
• High torque low-RPM drive motor provides extra long life and quiet operation.
• Electronic full range motor speed control compensates for power supply variations to maintain constant wire feed speed.
• Electronic and thermostatic protection from current overload and excessive temperatures.
• CSA NRTL/C approved.
• Three year warranty on parts and labor. (90 days warranty on gun and cable).
• Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001 requirements.
