Coil Gun, 100 A, 3 m, 60%

I do a lot of tig welding on aluminum anything from 1/16"-1/2" on boats. I love running my Everlast 225EXT but it can get time consuming especially on 1/4" and large projects. I have never ran a spool gun before but if you have ran a mig welder before you will catch on pretty quick. I have a hobart 210 MVP using this gun and it runs great. One thing that will probably surprise you is the argon gas flow needs to be around 30-35 cfh and the wire speed is pretty fast, on mine it's from 70-100 I will suggest that you bend a quick fish hook in your wire because when you ark up cold the wire wants to jam into the metal and cause a backlash in the rollers. It welds fast so be ready for it. Most of the tubing on the Boat T-top was welded using the spoon gun. Hope this helps you. Thanks Smitty

Thanks. Great product. Excellent price

Livré avant la date prévue. Fonctionne très bien. 3 rouleaux de fils d'aluminium utilisés à date et tout va bien. Le plastique qui entoure la bobine de fil semble un peu fragile par contre, mais si on fait attention à la façon qu'on le dépose, ça va bien. Prend un peu de temps à ajuster, mais une fois fait ça produit de belles soudures. Update Après trois ans (et 15 rouleaux de fil d'aluminium d'une livre 0.35) a cessé de fonctionner complètement. Le moteur semblait manquer de puissance et puis plus rien.

Heads up. this is not miller compatible with the millermatic series. I have the 140. The brass connector for gas and power is a smaller diameter and it does not come with anything you need to use it with a millermatic 140/160/190. I had a spare miller mig gun and so I removed the connector end, made a coupler and installed a plug so it wouldnt lose gas. You can buy that piece from airgas for like $17. Unless you happen to come across a situation like I did where time was important, I wouldnt do this as I had to also buy a 6 connector 3 position switch from Nappa parts store works just as good and wire it in. I actually used jumpers the first 2 days. Hopefully this program will allow me to come back and edit this so the handiwork can be seen. all in all I saved $85 and didnt lose production time. reason for purposely buying this an making it work, one word, TIME!!! They didnt have a miller available for prime account, and next 2 day shipping was close to $60. took me an hour longer to to install this one over not having the right fit from a miller. WORKS LIKE A CHARM AND IM LUVIN IT!!

I usually TIG weld aluminum, but I wanted to weld thicker/larger pieces faster. To MIG weld aluminum requires spray transfer, and 200 amps is about the bottom end for thicker pieces. The Hobart 210 MVP with the addition of this SpoolRunner 100 spool gun welds 1/4 inch aluminum like lightning! I can weld in a 1/4 of the time of TIG. No stack of dimes look, but nice smooth fully penetrated welds. Now I can use my TIG for what it's best at, heat control on thin material. BTW, If your looking for an industrial/commercial spool gun, look elsewhere. Like the similar Miller spool gun, this gun is top quality and made of a tough resin, but is not designed for continuous use.
