OVERVIEW

Extended Reach for Professional Spot Welding

The Miller MO-18 Tongs (Stock No. 040202) are a specialized accessory designed to expand the operational capabilities of Miller portable spot welders. Engineered with an 18-inch (457 mm) throat depth, these tongs allow for resistance welding applications that require deep access into sheet metal assemblies, far surpassing the reach of standard 6-inch or 12-inch tongs. They are manufactured from a high-grade copper alloy, ensuring optimal electrical conductivity and thermal dissipation during the welding process.

These tongs are specifically compatible with Miller's renowned line of portable resistance welders, including the LMSW-52, LMSW-52T, and SSW-2020ATT models. The set includes both the upper and lower tong arms, along with standard spot welding tips, providing a complete solution for immediate deployment. The robust construction ensures rigidity under the clamping pressure required for sound welds, minimizing deflection and maintaining tip alignment.

For industrial MRO environments where sheet metal fabrication and repair are routine, the MO-18 tongs are an essential component. They facilitate the joining of large panels, ductwork, and enclosures without the need for cumbersome maneuvering of the workpiece. The tongs attach securely to the welder's lever mechanism, allowing for quick changeovers when different reach lengths are required.

FAQ

The MO-18 tongs (040202) are compatible with Miller portable spot welders, including models LMSW-52, LMSW-52T, and SSW-2020ATT.

These tongs provide an 18-inch (457 mm) reach, measured from the pivot point of the welder to the electrode tips.

Yes, the MO-18 tongs are supplied with a set of standard spot welding tips already installed.

Yes, the tips are replaceable. They use standard threaded spot welding tips available from Miller.

They are constructed from a durable, high-conductivity copper alloy designed to withstand the electrical current and mechanical pressure of spot welding.

The price includes the pair (one upper and one lower tong).

Extended tongs increase the electrical resistance slightly compared to shorter tongs. While they work for most standard gauges, you may notice a slight reduction in maximum thickness capacity compared to 6-inch tongs.

No, the MO-18 tongs are air-cooled, consistent with the design of the portable air-cooled spot welders they fit.
