OVERVIEW

Reliable Performance with Modern Technology

The Tweco Classic No. 1 MIG Gun (1010-1138) combines the legendary durability of the Classic series with the advanced performance of Velocity consumables. Rated at 180 Amps at 60% duty cycle, this air-cooled MIG gun is designed for light to medium fabrication, automotive repair, and hobbyist applications where reliability is paramount.

This model features a 15-foot cable and a direct Lincoln-style rear connection, making it an excellent replacement or upgrade for compatible Lincoln Electric welding machines. The inclusion of Velocity consumables marks a significant step up in efficiency; the threadless contact tips and integrated gas diffusers ensure a solid electrical connection, cooler operation, and a more stable arc.

Key Benefits for the Welder

  • Proven Ergonomics: The Classic handle shape is a favorite among welders for its comfort and balance, reducing fatigue during extended use.
  • Enhanced Conductivity: Velocity consumables utilize a large contact area to transfer current more effectively, resulting in smoother welds and longer consumable life.
  • Durable Construction: Built with high-quality copper conductors and a rugged outer jacket, this gun withstands the rigors of the shop floor.

Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless, or aluminum (with the correct liner), the Tweco Classic No. 1 delivers consistent results. The 15-foot reach allows for flexibility around large workpieces without moving the power source constantly.
