OVERVIEW

Reliable Industrial Performance with Modern Efficiency

The Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun (Part Number: 1030-1017) represents the perfect fusion of traditional durability and modern welding technology. Known throughout the industry for its rugged construction and comfortable handle, the Classic No. 3 platform has been a staple in heavy fabrication for decades. This specific model is enhanced with Tweco's innovative Velocity™ consumable system, which replaces traditional threaded contact tips with a threadless, drop-in design that significantly improves conductivity and heat dissipation.

Designed for professional welders, this gun is rated at 300 Amps at 60% duty cycle using CO2 gas, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications including structural steel, heavy equipment manufacturing, and general fabrication. The 10-foot cable assembly offers a manageable reach for bench work or stationary welding cells, minimizing cable clutter while maintaining flexibility.

This unit comes pre-configured with a Lincoln® style rear connection, allowing for direct plug-and-play compatibility with many Lincoln wire feeders and power sources. The setup is optimized for running wire diameters between .035" and .045", covering the most common sizes for medium-to-heavy duty welding. By integrating the Velocity consumables, operators experience a more stable arc and less downtime for tip changes, maximizing productivity on the shop floor.
