10101115 - Tweco Classic 1 MIG Gun 180A 12ft with Velocity Consumables

Industrial Grade 180A MIG Gun with Velocity Technology

The Tweco Classic No. 1 MIG Gun (SKU: 1010-1115) represents the evolution of the industry's most trusted welding torch. This model integrates the legendary durability of the Classic series handle with the advanced performance of Tweco Velocity consumables. Designed for light to medium-duty fabrication, this air-cooled gun is rated for 180 Amps at a 60% duty cycle when using CO2 shielding gas, making it a robust choice for automotive, farm, and maintenance applications.

The inclusion of Velocity consumables is a significant technical upgrade. Unlike traditional threaded tips, the Velocity system utilizes a threadless, drop-in contact tip design that maximizes surface contact for superior electrical conductivity and heat dissipation. This results in a more stable arc, less spatter, and significantly longer consumable life. The gas nozzle features a secure seating mechanism that ensures consistent gas coverage, reducing the risk of porosity in the weld pool.

Mechanically, the gun features a 12-foot cable assembly protected by heavy-duty spring strain reliefs at both the handle and the rear connection. The rear connection is a standard Tweco style, ensuring broad compatibility with a wide range of wire feeders and power sources equipped with Tweco adapters. The gun comes pre-configured for .035" wire but can easily adapt to .030" or .045" with the appropriate liner and tip changes. For professionals seeking a blend of traditional comfort and modern arc performance, the Classic No. 1 with Velocity is the optimal solution.
