STICK WELDERS
Look to the R3R family of power sources from Lincoln Electric for your heavy-duty stick
welding needs. Whether you’re using mild steel, low hydrogen, stainless steel or hardfacing
electrodes, the Idealarc R3R-500-I and R3R-600-I produce a smooth, quality arc for
consistent results day-in and day-out. The R3Rs provide piece of mind with their traditional,
fan-cooled design for long life expectancy and low cost operation, calibrated current control
knob for simple and easy procedure setting, and all weather protection including a powder
paint finish for durability in even the roughest environments. The R3R-500-I and 600-I are
also proven DC TIG welders – simply add optional TIG accessories and a cylinder of
shielding gas.

The R3Rs produce a quality, low spatter, smooth arc without
pop-outs. Line voltage fluctuations of up to ±10% are handled
by the R3Rs input compensation function, which keeps the out-
put constant.
Calibrated current control knob makes procedure setting simple
and easy. Polarity switch, voltmeter and ammeter are standard.
Smooth arc makes it easy to weld with mild steel, low hydrogen,
stainless steel and hardfacing electrodes.
Stackable case design with built-in lift hook allows for easy
storage and handling. Machines can be safely stacked three
high (without an undercarriage) to conserve floor space.
Submersion dipped transformer assembly for added corrosion
and moisture protection.
Totally enclosed fan motor is permanently lubricated.
Designed to NEMA specifications.
The R3R-500-I is capable of arc gouging using a carbon elec-
trode with a maximum diameter of 5/16" (7.9mm). Use up to a
3/8" (9.5mm) diameter carbon with the R3R-600-I.
Three year warranty on parts and labor.
Manufactured under a quality system certified to ISO 9001
requirements.
