Longer Mig Torch SP175

admin

I am looking for a  15-20ft mig torch for my Lincoln sp175 mig welder...It currently has a Magnum 100L, Does anyone know of a cost effective aftermarket replacement?  I guess I would like the new gun to use Tweco consumables.
Reply:Most of the replacement guns I've seen are 10-12' replacements.   I don't think I've ever seen a 20' replacement gun for a small Lincoln MIG welder.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build
Reply:The longest I saw was 15'.  I looked at weldingsupply.com.https://weldingsupply.securesites.co...ldsk150gun.gifIf you want something longer, maybe you could extend the spool gun?------------------------------Lincoln 175HDLincoln AC/DC225Smith O/A
Reply:I would sure want to talk to someone who has already done one over 12 foot before I committed much cash and effort. I'm wondering if it would work reliably beyond 12 foot?

Reply:Spool gun would be ideal, but it would need adapting one to it.  I think Lincoln has a kit to adapt one to it.MarkI haven't always been a nurse........Craftsman 12"x36" LatheEnco G-30B MillHobart Handler 175Lincoln WeldandPower 225 AC/DC G-7 CV/CCAdd a Foot Pedal to a Harbor Freight Chicago Electric 165A DC TIG PapaLion's Gate Build
Reply:Here's a link to the adapter kit.I added one to my 175HD, but I don't have the spool gun yet to try it.http://www.oxarc.com/desc.ydev?prod_id=25499------------------------------Lincoln 175HDLincoln AC/DC225Smith O/A
Reply:Tweco and Bernard make longer replacement guns/leads.  Up to 20', it will be a couple hundred bucks.  The 15' works fine on the smaller welders.
