The Tweco Classic No. 2 MIG Gun (1020-1130) represents the benchmark for air-cooled welding torches in the industrial sector. Known for decades as the "gun that built the industry," the Classic No. 2 offers a robust 200-amp rating at a 60% duty cycle when using CO2 shielding gas. This specific configuration is outfitted with a Miller-style rear connection, making it an immediate drop-in replacement for welders using Miller power sources who prefer the tactile feel and proven reliability of a Tweco torch.
Designed for medium-duty fabrication, the gun features a 10-foot cable assembly, ideal for bench work or production cells where excessive cable length would be a hindrance. It comes pre-configured for .030" to .035" (0.8mm - 0.9mm) welding wire, covering the vast majority of general steel fabrication applications. The air-cooled design is efficient and lightweight, reducing operator fatigue during extended welding shifts.
One of the primary advantages of the Tweco Classic series is its utilization of standard Tweco consumables. It employs the ubiquitous 11 Series contact tips, 21 Series nozzles, and 51 Series gas diffusers. These parts are available virtually everywhere, ensuring that your production line never stops due to a lack of spares. The simplified front-end design allows for quick changes of tips and nozzles without specialized tools, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.
The Classic No. 2 is built to withstand the harsh environment of a welding shop. It features a heavy-duty metal jacketed conductor tube and a rugged handle that resists impact and heat. The cable assembly is protected by sturdy strain reliefs at both the gun handle and the machine connection, preventing kinking and wire feed issues. For maintenance teams, the gun is fully field-repairable, allowing for the replacement of liners, trigger switches, and cable components to extend the service life of the tool significantly.
