"The best primeweld mig180 videos on the internet ...Hands down!"
~ the internet
I think of my Mig180 mostly as a Great Little MIG Welder with a great arc and nice small mig gun that feels great in my hand... but it also Stick welds, and even comes with a spool gun for aluminum.
just look at all that comes with it... That is a lot of bang for the buck!
The settings shown in the videos on this page will work with most any mig welder whether its a small 115 volt mig welder, a multi voltage mig welder like the Primeweld mig180, or a larger 230volt mig welder.
Provided you are using the same diameter wire as shown in these videos.
There are some limitations with 115 volt mig welders as far as thickness and duty cycle and that is why you might want to consider a dual voltage mig like the mig180 shown here.
You can weld 11ga 1/8" thick steel without a problem using 115 volt power but 230 volt is much better for 1/4" and thicker.
With a Dual voltage mig welder like the mig180, you can use either 115 volt or 230 volt so if you currently only have 115 volt power in your garage or shop, you can upgrade to 230 and use the same welder.
This small welder also has a stick welding function and can scratch start tig too.
Tig torch is not included but that does give you another option for jobs like sanitary stainless.
Scratch start tig and spool gun videos are coming soon.
