![]() The most common connection today is what is called the EURO fitting. Industrial MIG welders will have a dedicated fitting on the front of the machine where the torch can be disconnected. This welding torch is made to suit this cheap MIG welder. Now every MIG welding machine has to have a MIG welding gun.Ī MIG welding gun is what makes a MIG a MIG. If you plan on doing heavier welding, and more frequent welding, get the 220volt machine over the smaller 110v/115v welder. If you can’t decide on which size machine to get, the simple question to ask yourself is this. This is why you often see MIG welding machines for sale that are 110 volt or 115-volt machines. If you are from the USA or Europe I think you have a choice of single-phase power. This might mean that you need an electrician to come around and install a new outlet. The solution is to have a dedicated 15 amp plug. This means it will not physically fit in a 10 amp wall outlet, as the earth hole is not big enough to fit the larger 15 amp pin into it. The plug here on this machine is 15 amps and has a larger earth pin. Because we are in Australia all of our single phase power outlets are 240, with the most common outlet being 10 amps. This MIG machine also requires a 15 amp plug. Now, this particular machine is a single-phase 240-volt MIG welder. How to Put the MIG Wire onto the Welder.Secondly solid MIG wire generates a lot less spatter than gasless MIG wire, so it makes clean up a lot less painful. This is better than using gasless MIG wire, as that MIG wire burns hotter and it will blow through car panels easily. At the back of the machine is a hose where you can connect up the welding gas bottle, and inside the unit, it has the plumbing to allow the use of shielding gas for MIG welding.īecause this machine can run solid MIG wire with gas, it makes it an ideal choice for welding thin gauge car panels. This means it can use both the self-shielding gasless MIG wire and also solid MIG wire that requires shielding gas. This particular machine is a dual purpose MIG welder. ![]() This machine is only rated at 88amps, which is enough to do MIG welding jobs for repairs to box trailers, making garden gates and welding car panels. This particular machine is only a very small machine so don’t go expecting any miracles from it, but they are ideal for all the small DIY type welding jobs at home. Maybe you have never used a gasless MIG welder before, maybe you’re looking at buying one. ![]()
