OVERVIEW

Industrial Grade 300A MIG Gun with Velocity Technology

The Tweco Classic No. 3 MIG Gun (SKU: 1030-1008) represents the evolution of one of the welding industry's most trusted tools. This model pairs the legendary durability of the Classic No. 3 chassis with the high-performance benefits of Tweco's Velocity consumable system. Designed for medium to heavy-duty fabrication, this air-cooled gun is rated for 300 Amps at a 60% duty cycle, making it a workhorse for manufacturing, structural steel, and equipment repair.

The integration of Velocity consumables is a significant upgrade for industrial operations. The Velocity system utilizes a threadless, drop-in contact tip and a nozzle that integrates the gas diffuser, significantly reducing the number of threaded connections. This design improves electrical conductivity and heat transfer, resulting in a more stable arc and cooler running temperatures. For the procurement manager, this means fewer consumable parts to stock and longer intervals between tip changes, directly impacting operational efficiency.

This specific configuration features a 12-foot cable assembly, offering a balance between reach and wire feedability, ideal for bench work or production cells. The backend is a standard Tweco connection, ensuring seamless compatibility with a vast range of wire feeders and power sources. The gun is robustly constructed to withstand harsh industrial environments, featuring an abrasion-resistant cable jacket and a heavy-duty handle that protects internal components from impact and debris.
