The Oxford MIGMAKER 252 is a single phase 250A step regulated MIG welder made by British welding machine manufacturer Oxford. Updated for 2025, the MIGMaker 202 still offers the same robust British built build quality as before, but now has a more electrically efficient transformer to comply with latest regulations. Reverse polarity now comes with these machines as standard meaning gasless wire can be used if required. Spot Timer now also included FOC.
Welds up to 8mm and down to very thin material too, with a lowest amperage of just 20A.
Will work from a 13A plug up to 65% power.
A popular machine in the Oxford range, great for automotive work, gates and railings and light to medium agricultural work etc.
The Oxford MIGMAKER is made with a copper wound transformer, rugged switch gear, over rated rectifier and fan cooling all built into a strong 2mm steel chassis. Preferred by some, a transformer based machine arguably provides very long life spans and great reliability. The MIGMAKER range is the most popular model of the Oxford offering.
A high torque cast aluminium wire drive system with a 70W drive motor provides smooth wire feeding hour after hour, day after day.
Oxford take pride in making every machine by hand using the best components sourced in the UK wherever possible.
Updated in 2025, the MIGMaker 252 complies to BS IEC60974-6 for greater energy efficiency than the previous model. The transformers are now made to be extremely energy efficient and the machine will draw just 25 watts on standby.
