OVERVIEW

Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun with Velocity Consumables

The Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun is a staple in the welding industry, renowned for its durability and the comfortable oval handle that welders have trusted for decades. This specific model (1030-1018) modernizes the classic design by integrating Tweco's high-performance Velocity™ consumable system. Rated at 300 Amps, this air-cooled gun is built to handle rigorous industrial applications while providing the reliability professionals demand.

Designed with a 12-foot cable, this gun offers excellent maneuverability for standard fabrication setups. The rear connection is specifically engineered for Lincoln® wire feeders, allowing for a seamless plug-and-play experience without the need for adapters. Whether you are working in structural steel, heavy equipment repair, or general fabrication, the Classic No. 3 delivers a stable arc and consistent wire feeding.

The inclusion of Velocity consumables sets this torch apart. Unlike traditional threaded tips, Velocity tips feature a threadless drop-in design that maximizes surface contact for better electrical conductivity. This results in a cooler running torch and significantly longer consumable life, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Upgrade your welding station with the perfect blend of traditional ergonomics and modern technology.

Key Benefits

  • Proven Ergonomics: The classic oval handle reduces operator fatigue during long shifts.
  • Enhanced Performance: Velocity consumables provide a more stable arc and run cooler than standard threaded parts.
