Hey anybody know anything about Redy-arc or rede-arc or some spelling like that portable welding machines? They seem to be pretty reasonably priced. Looked at a 300amp diesle machine and it looked just like a lincoln machine, same color and all. Are they just a knock off of the original lincoln design or what? Just askin?

Hello ibeweldingsum, I believe they are built for redi-arc by Lincoln. Similarly they have redi-arc inverters that are the spittin image of Miller XMT's, but have an aluminum case with the redi-arc stickers on them. Best regards, Allan

Are they any good? I mean for the price that would be a good buy. Only $8500 for a new machine seems like a damn good deal to me.

they are good machines but they have no low idle so you hear 1800 rpm screaming in your ear all day

I used a red-d-arc when I worked repairing conx boxes, It was a zr8 I asked the the salesman at the welding supply store who made them he said they were built for airgases rental fleet by lincoln & miller.

They are just lincoln and miller machines built for redi arc rentals just like everyone else said.  it used to be that the d300k+k and the Classic 300D different because of the kubota motor but now lincoln offers the kubota or perkins

I bought a redi-arc 300d about 5 years ago. I never had any problems with it and was a pretty slick machine. Bought it refured for redi-arc for $5500.

Everyone here is correct. Lincoln made these machines for Airgas. Red-D-Arc is owned by Airgas. All the parts are Lincoln parts and are in the Lincoln parts catalog under the code #. ZR-8 and ZR-10's are Ranger 8's and 10's. and the bigger diesels are Classic designs. I can get refurbished Red-D-Arc machines at a resonable cost as these machines are sold to the public after 3 years of service in the rental fleet. You can also purchase an extended warranty with the machine. I've sold quite a few and have never had anyone un happy with the machine. But you are buying a 3 year year old Lincoln so you shouldn't have any problems with it. You can also purchase these machines new.

Edit to Add: You can purchase the optional idler package so the machine will not be running in high idle all day.

They are commonly used in rental fleets, at least here in Oklahoma.
