The Lincoln Electric Magnum PRO AL Pistol Grip Push-Pull MIG Gun (K3479-1) represents the pinnacle of aluminum welding technology for industrial applications. Designed specifically to address the challenges of feeding soft aluminum wire, this water-cooled system ensures consistent performance even during extended welding sessions. With a rating of 320 Amps at 60% duty cycle using Argon shielding gas, it is built to handle the rigorous demands of metal fabrication, auto body repair, and light industrial manufacturing.
At the core of the Magnum PRO AL is its superior push-pull wire feeding mechanism. By utilizing a built-in industrial wire drive motor within the gun itself, it works in concert with the power source's wire feeder to pull the wire through the liner while simultaneously pushing it into the weld pool. This synchronized action significantly reduces friction in the feed path, virtually eliminating the common issues of wire buckling and "birdnesting" associated with aluminum welding. The result is a smooth, uninterrupted feed that enhances weld quality and reduces operator frustration.
Despite its heavy-duty capabilities, the gun features a lightweight, ergonomic pistol grip handle that is well-balanced for use in either hand, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. Maintenance is streamlined with the Quick-Change Liner system, which requires only the removal of a liner nut for access. Additionally, the gun utilizes standard Magnum PRO 550A expendables, allowing shops to consolidate consumable inventory across different torch models. The recessed adjustment dial is strategically placed at the rear of the handle to allow for easy parameter changes while preventing accidental adjustments during operation.
