ali mig welding
Submitted by Clown Fish on Thu, 2012-11-15 19:27
Can any one put me on to a tech(ish) sparky that can modify my transmig 175 to run a spool gun for small ali projects? I have googled my ass off for about 12 hrs - nothing!

What do you mean by spool
What do you mean by spool gun? Push pull handpiece? They are around 2-2.5 k a pop. Gentronics or G&S welders could probably help.

not push pull. spool gun- small spool on torch end with wire feed motor etc. popular in the US. Easy to mig ali. Problem is finding compatibility between brands and DC wire feed motor voltage

Gentronics is my go to
Gentronics is my go to welding/consumables outlet but alas they could not help. Seems like another case of WA (wait awhile) Hope we catch up one day. The yanks have been using spool guns over push pulls for years(not on comercial basis)
