Features

• Portable

  Weighing only 34.6 pounds, the CST 282 is easily moved around a jobsite for increased operator comfort and safety. It is 7 pounds (20%) lighter than the previous CST model.

• Auto-Line™ Technology

  Allows hookup to either single-phase or three-phase primary input voltage, 208-600 volts dependent on the machine, with no manual linking, providing convenience in any job setting. An ideal solution for dirty or unreliable input power.

• Universal Connector System

  New Miller-exclusive universal output connector system can be used with either Tweco- or Dinse-style connectors. Welders can convert the machine from one connector style to another — without having to take the machine apart or deal with adapters.

• Welds Stick/TIG

  Superior stick arc performance with settings specifically designed for XX10 and XX18 electrodes and a stiff and soft setting for each. Whether welding pipe or in the flat there is a setting for each application.

• Simple & Accurate Interface

  Digital meter and push-button controls for more precise setting when presetting or monitoring welding amperage.

• Adaptive Hot Start™

  Automatically makes starting stick electrodes easy without creating an inclusion.

• Voltage Reducing Device

  VRD technology reduces output voltage when the operator isn’t welding, lowering the potential hazard from inadvertent contact with the electrode during non-welding pauses.

• 4 and 8 Pack Racks

  Rack mountable for protection, storage, and transportation of multiple power sources while using a single primary power cable.

• Lift-Arc™

  Provides arc starting that minimizes contamination of the electrode without the use of high frequency.
