Description
Run MIG, flux-core and stick welds from one 30-pound box with the PrimeWeld MIG180 180-Amp MIG Welder With Spool Gun. The IGBT inverter plugs into 110V or 220V, and the included spool gun feeds soft aluminum wire from a short spool at the handle, so it never kinks on the way to the arc. A digital power display sits on the front panel, and the kit adds a USA-made MIG gun, ground clamp, electrode holder, regulator and gas hose. Pick a 10 ft or 15 ft MIG torch lead; the machine is otherwise identical.
Key Features
- Three processes: MIG (GMAW), gasless flux-core (FCAW) and DC stick (MMA), switched with one button, for steel, stainless and aluminum.
- Dual voltage with protection: Runs on 110V with the included adapter or on 220V for full output, with overcurrent, overheating and power-spike protection.
- Spool gun for aluminum: A 12 ft spool gun replaces the standard torch, and the built-in gas solenoid times pre-flow and post-flow.
- 2T/4T trigger lock: In 4T mode the arc stays lit after you release the trigger, sparing your hand on long passes.
- About PrimeWeld: PrimeWeld of Blackwood, New Jersey backs every machine with a no-hassle 3-year warranty and US-based support.
How to Use It
Choose the process on the panel, load a 2 lb or 10 lb spool, and fit the matching drive roll: V-groove for solid MIG wire, knurled for flux-core. For gas-shielded MIG, thread the regulator onto your cylinder and connect the hose. Swap in the spool gun for aluminum, and flip to 4T before a long seam so the arc holds on its own. Weld sheet from 22 gauge up on a 110V garage circuit, or move to 220V for the full 180 amps. Respect the 30 percent duty cycle at maximum output.
