The Lincoln model K2513-1 is an electric flux-cored welder designed for basic wire welding projects and repairs. It can output between 30 Amps and 125 Amps at a rate of 50 - 500 inches of wire per minute.

Hi @rswebss

Here are the product sheets for both models.

A quick read through indicates that the K2513-1 is a smaller capacity unit than a MIG 180C (model #K2668)

By this I mean that the output current is only 30A -125A as opposed to 20A-180A and the cored wire size is also smaller i.e. 0.6-0.9mm as opposed to 0.9 - 1.1mm. There are other differences as well but I haven’t read it all to find out.

It may depend on what you want to do with it.
