OVERVIEW

Unlock Aluminum Welding Capabilities with the Thermal Arc W4011100

For welders looking to expand their repertoire into aluminum fabrication without the headache of wire feeding issues, the Thermal Arc W4011100 Spool Gun is the definitive solution. Designed specifically for the Fabricator 140 and Fabricator 180 series power sources, this accessory transforms your standard MIG setup into a reliable aluminum welding station. Aluminum wire is notoriously soft and difficult to push through standard MIG torches over long distances, often resulting in "bird-nesting" or erratic feeding. This spool gun solves that problem by locating a 4-inch spool of wire directly on the gun itself, reducing the travel distance to mere inches and ensuring a smooth, consistent arc every time.

The unit boasts a generous 19-foot cable assembly, providing exceptional reach around large projects such as trailers, boat hulls, or automotive frames. You are no longer tethered closely to the machine, giving you the freedom to move and position yourself for the best weld angle. Rated at 180 Amps, it delivers sufficient power for a wide range of material thicknesses, from thin gauge sheet metal to structural components found in light industrial applications. The robust construction ensures durability in shop environments, while the ergonomic handle design minimizes wrist strain during extended welding sessions.

Installation is straightforward, utilizing a direct connection to your Fabricator machine. This plug-and-play functionality means less downtime setting up and more time welding. Whether you are a hobbyist repairing a pontoon boat or a professional fabricator working on custom signage, the W4011100 offers the precision and reliability required for high-quality aluminum welds. It is also compatible with other soft wires that might struggle in standard liners, making it a versatile addition to your welding toolkit.

Investing in this spool gun not only improves weld quality but also reduces material waste caused by feeding failures. It is an essential upgrade for any owner of a Fabricator 140 or 180 who demands professional results and operational efficiency.

FAQ

This spool gun is specifically designed for the Thermal Arc Fabricator 140 and Fabricator 180 welding machines.

The spool gun comes with a 19-foot (approximately 5.8 meters) cable assembly, providing excellent reach.

The gun is rated at 180 Amps, matching the top-end output of the compatible Fabricator 180 machine.

Aluminum wire is very soft and tends to kink or 'bird-nest' when pushed through a standard long MIG torch liner. A spool gun feeds the wire only a few inches, preventing these issues.

It accepts standard 4-inch diameter wire spools, typically weighing 1 lb for aluminum or 2 lbs for steel/stainless.

Yes, while primarily used for aluminum, you can run steel or stainless steel wire spools through it if you need the extended 19ft reach.

Yes, it typically ships with a standard contact tip and nozzle installed, but it is recommended to buy spares matching your wire diameter.

No, it has a specific connector designed to mate directly with the Thermal Arc Fabricator series receptacles.
