The Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun (1030-1102) represents the benchmark for semi-automatic air-cooled MIG welding. For decades, the "Classic" series has been the preferred choice of metal fabricators, shipbuilders, and heavy equipment manufacturers due to its unparalleled reliability and ease of maintenance. Rated at 300 Amps at 60% duty cycle, this gun is engineered to handle medium to heavy-duty welding applications with ease, providing consistent arc performance in demanding industrial environments.
This model features a 12-foot cable assembly, offering a practical balance between reach and wire feedability. The cable is constructed with high-quality copper stranding and a durable outer jacket that resists cuts, abrasion, and heat. The rear connection is a standard Tweco style, making it compatible with a vast array of wire feeders and power sources that utilize the Tweco adapter system. The gun comes set up for .035" to .045" (0.9mm - 1.2mm) welding wire, covering the most common diameters used in structural steel fabrication.
One of the defining characteristics of the Tweco Classic No. 3 is its fully repairable design. Unlike disposable light-duty guns, every component of the Classic 3—from the conductor tube to the trigger switch—can be replaced in the field. This modularity significantly lowers the total cost of ownership over the life of the product. The gun utilizes the widely available 14 Series contact tips, 24 Series gas nozzles, and 34 Series gas diffusers, ensuring that consumables are always easy to source.
Whether you are welding mild steel, stainless steel, or aluminum (with the appropriate liner), the Tweco Classic No. 3 delivers the robust performance required for high-productivity manufacturing.
