The Miller CST 282 Stick/TIG Welder (907810) is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the construction and pipe welding industries. Designed for professionals who require mobility without sacrificing power, this machine delivers 280 amps of superior Stick and TIG performance in a compact package weighing just 34.6 pounds. Whether you are working on structural steel, shipbuilding, or field maintenance, the CST 282 provides the reliability and arc quality necessary for code-quality welds.
One of the standout features of the CST 282 is Miller's proprietary Auto-Line™ Technology. This innovation allows the power source to connect to any primary input voltage ranging from 208 to 575 volts, single- or three-phase, 50 or 60 Hz. The machine automatically calibrates itself to the available power, eliminating the need for manual linking or tool-based adjustments. This flexibility is invaluable on job sites with dirty or unreliable power, ensuring consistent performance regardless of the input source.
The CST 282 is specifically tuned for critical welding applications. It features specialized settings for XX10 and XX18 electrodes, offering both stiff and soft arc preferences to suit the operator's technique and the specific joint requirements. The Adaptive Hot Start™ technology ensures easy arc strikes without sticking, while the Lift-Arc™ function enables precise TIG starts without the risk of tungsten contamination or high-frequency interference.
Safety is paramount in industrial environments. The integrated Voltage Reducing Device (VRD) lowers the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) when the operator is not welding, significantly reducing the risk of accidental shock. The unit also features a digital meter for precise amperage control and a Miller-exclusive universal output connector system, allowing for seamless switching between Dinse and Tweco-style connectors (this model comes with Dinse receptacles).
