The Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun represents the perfect fusion of time-tested ergonomics and cutting-edge consumable technology. For decades, the "Classic" series has been the gold standard for welders who demand a rugged, comfortable handle that can withstand the abuse of heavy industrial environments. This specific model (1030-1014) takes that proven platform and upgrades it with Tweco's Velocity™ consumable system, delivering a welding experience that is both familiar and significantly more efficient.
Designed for professional fabricators, this gun is rated at 300 Amps at 60% duty cycle, making it an ideal choice for medium to heavy-duty manufacturing, structural steel work, and general fabrication. The 12-foot cable assembly offers a standard reach suitable for bench work and production cells, ensuring consistent wire feeding without the drag of excessively long leads. The cable itself is reinforced to resist abrasion, cuts, and burns, ensuring a long service life even on the roughest shop floors.
What sets this version of the Classic No. 3 apart is the integration of Velocity consumables. Unlike traditional threaded tips, Velocity contact tips use a unique design that maximizes surface contact for superior electrical conductivity. This results in a more stable arc and significantly cooler running temperatures. The threadless, drop-in style tips also mean faster changeovers—no more seized threads or pliers needed to swap a tip. The gas nozzles are designed to provide smoother shielding gas flow, reducing the risk of porosity and rework.
This unit comes pre-configured with a Miller® style rear connection, allowing for immediate plug-and-play use with compatible Miller wire feeders and power sources. It is set up out of the box for .035" to .045" wire diameters, covering the most common range for industrial steel welding. Whether you are replacing an old gun or upgrading your fleet, the Tweco Classic No. 3 with Velocity consumables offers the reliability you trust with the performance you need to stay competitive.
