USED WELDMAX VERSITEC 250I SERIES 2 - SYNERGIC MIG/TIG/MMA
Used Weldmax VERSITEC 250i Series 2 Synergic MIG/TIG/MMA Welder
SKU QWSMC10924 | Used, good condition, workshop tested | Made in Italy
The used Weldmax VERSITEC 250i Series 2 is an Italian-made, 240V single-phase inverter multi-process welder. It does MIG, TIG and stick (MMA) from one compact machine. It delivers 30–250A in MIG with a duty cycle of 60% at 190A and 100% at 170A. It has more than 25 built-in synergic programs for steel, stainless, aluminium, flux-cored and silicon-bronze wire from 0.8 to 1.2 mm. It comes ready to weld steel with a 4 m MB36 MIG torch, 0.9 mm V-groove drive rolls, a regulator, and a 10 m power lead with a 15A/240V plug fitted. This unit has been inspected and tested by the QWS workshop, and comes with a 3-month QWS warranty.
A serious Italian-built workshop machine at a used price
The VERSITEC 250i suits workshops that do a bit of everything: MIG for everyday steel fabrication, aluminium and stainless MIG with the right setup, stick for outdoor and site repairs, and TIG for finer work. Its 100% duty cycle at 170A is strong for a single-phase machine, and it takes 300 mm (15 kg) spools as well as 200 mm (5 kg) spools for production-size runs. Weldmax is the QWS house brand, so parts and servicing come from the team who sold you the machine.
Key features
- Three processes in one: MIG/MAG, TIG and MMA (stick).
- More than 25 synergic MIG programs. Pick the job for your wire, diameter and gas, then set one knob, and the machine matches voltage and wire speed. Programs cover mild steel, 308 and 316 stainless, 5356 aluminium, metal-cored and rutile flux-cored wire, and CuSi3 MIG brazing.
- Full manual MIG mode with adjustable voltage, wire speed and inductance.
- 30 memory slots to save and recall your MIG settings.
- 2T/4T and spot welding modes with an adjustable spot timer (0–10 s).
- Adjustable pre-gas, post-gas, burn-back and wire feed slope for clean starts and finishes.
- Strong duty cycle: 100% at 170A in MIG and TIG, and 100% at 150A in stick.
- MB36 MIG torch with Euro connection. A 4 m Binzel-style MB36 torch with a steel liner, set up for steel. Consumables are widely available.
- Takes 200 mm and 300 mm spools. Use 5 kg or 15 kg spools for longer runs between wire changes.
- 10 m power lead. Reach outlets well away from the job without an extension lead.
- Stick arc controls: adjustable Hot Start and Arc Force.
- VRD (voltage reduction device). Drops open-circuit voltage to 12V when idle for safer stick welding.
- Generator friendly. Runs from a generator of 7.5 kVA or more.
- Made in Italy. Built to EN 60974-1 and EN 60974-10, CE and RCM marked, with an IP22S enclosure rating.

Frequently asked questions
What processes can the Weldmax VERSITEC 250i Series 2 do?
It does MIG/MAG (synergic or manual), gasless and gas-shielded flux-core, TIG and stick (MMA). That covers most workshop, repair and site welding with one machine.
What does synergic MIG mean on the VERSITEC 250i?
You select a synergic job that matches your wire type, wire diameter and shielding gas, for example job 13 for 0.9 mm steel wire with argon/CO2 mix. The machine then links voltage and wire speed, so one knob adjusts both. Setup is faster, results are more consistent, and you can still switch to manual mode for full control.
What’s the duty cycle of the VERSITEC 250i?
In MIG and TIG it’s 30% at 250A, 60% at 190A and 100% at 170A. In stick it’s 30% at 200A, 60% at 170A and 100% at 150A. That’s a strong rating for a single-phase 250A machine.
Can the VERSITEC 250i MIG weld aluminium?
Yes. It has synergic programs for 5356 aluminium wire in 0.9, 1.0 and 1.2 mm with pure argon. For aluminium you’ll need a teflon or graphite liner, U-groove drive rolls and aluminium contact tips in place of the supplied steel setup.
Does the VERSITEC 250i come ready to weld?
Yes, for steel. It comes with a 4 m MB36 MIG torch with steel liner, 0.9 mm V-groove drive rolls, an earth lead, a regulator and gas hose, and a 10 m power lead with the 15A plug fitted. Add 0.9 mm steel wire and shielding gas, and you’re ready to weld.
What wire sizes can it run?
The synergic programs cover 0.8–1.2 mm wire. It’s supplied set up for 0.9 mm solid steel. Other sizes need matching drive rolls and contact tips, and gasless flux-cored wire needs knurled rolls.
Can it take a 15 kg spool of wire?
Yes. It takes both 200 mm (5 kg) and 300 mm (15 kg) spools, which is handy for production work on a 240V machine.
Can I TIG weld with it?
Yes. It TIG welds from 10A to 250A DC with a suitable TIG torch (sold separately) and argon gas. Being DC only, it suits steel and stainless but not aluminium TIG.
Can I run it from a generator?
Yes. It’s generator friendly. Use a generator of at least 7.5 kVA.
Where is the VERSITEC 250i made?
It’s made in Italy and built to EN 60974-1 and EN 60974-10 welding equipment standards. It carries both the CE and the Australian RCM compliance marks.
What warranty comes with this used welder?
QWS covers this used VERSITEC 250i with a 3-month warranty.
Can I finance a used welder through QWS?
Yes. QWS offers equipment finance, including lease-to-own options. Contact the sales team to discuss.
