Hobart Spool Gun, 150 A, 10 ft, 60 percent

I do a lot of tig welding on aluminum anything from 1/16"-1/2" on boats. I love running my Everlast 225EXT but it can get time consuming especially on 1/4" and large projects. I have never ran a spool gun before but if you have ran a mig welder before you will catch on pretty quick. I have a hobart 210 MVP using this gun and it runs great. One thing that will probably surprise you is the argon gas flow needs to be around 30-35 cfh and the wire speed is pretty fast, on mine it's from 70-100 I will suggest that you bend a quick fish hook in your wire because when you ark up cold the wire wants to jam into the metal and cause a backlash in the rollers. It welds fast so be ready for it. Most of the tubing on the Boat T-top was welded using the spoon gun. Hope this helps you. Thanks Smitty

Thanks. Great product. Excellent price

Works great with my Hobart

Livré avant la date prévue. Fonctionne très bien. 3 rouleaux de fils d'aluminium utilisés à date et tout va bien. Le plastique qui entoure la bobine de fil semble un peu fragile par contre, mais si on fait attention à la façon qu'on le dépose, ça va bien. Prend un peu de temps à ajuster, mais une fois fait ça produit de belles soudures. Update Après trois ans (et 15 rouleaux de fil d'aluminium d'une livre 0.35) a cessé de fonctionner complètement. Le moteur semblait manquer de puissance et puis plus rien.

This works pretty well. This thing also gets really hot. I ran about 4' of bead and had to stop to change gloves midway. I did have the mechanism jam up on me once, and it was a pain to clean out the plastic gears and tip, but overall for the cost this is a great addition to my setup for the occasional aluminium job(in my case an heavy-duty trailer ramp). Not sure what caused the jam, it only happened once in close to 20' of joints of all sorts. I should also mention that on long runs, I did feel some power fluctuation, not sure of the cause. I am using with a 210MVP @ 230v. Will post more if it happens again and I can narrow it down. Overall, very happy.
