400 amp mig gun

admin

We have a lincoln 255xt with the factory gun at work. I run .045 wire 99% of the time at 22-24 volts.The 250 amp gun gets hotter than normal to me,besides being worn out. Upgrading to a 400 amp gun wont hurt anything besides being able to handle the higher voltages and durability. Any and all comments are welcome. Thanks for the help greg

Reply:Bernard guns sell for $100 on ebay all the time. I had a 400 amp gun oon my 250 amp machine for a while, but traded it to a buddy for a 300 amp gun. The 400 was too heavy for all day use for me. The 300 is a bit heavier than the stock guns but is a very nice gun and doesn't get too hot under heavy use.

Reply:http://www.lincolnelectric.com/asset...0-45/e1201.pdfThere is a guy on ebay that sells these units.I just picked one up for $75.00 with free shipping . (350 amp/15 ft cable) He has two more, and I think he will post them soon. The only thing you will need is the 4 pin plug off of your current gun.This is the hook up kit that you need. I probably would just use the one that comes with it, and the Miller type 4-pin plug of your old gun.http://www.scottgrossstore.com/servl...nnector/DetailLast edited by Brand X; 08-06-2011 at 10:43 PM.Esab/Lorch ET-220iEsab 160i caddyThermal LM-200 Lincoln feedersThermal Pee-Wee 85sThermal 60i- 3phase /RPC powered (Beast)Thermal Drag-gun 35CINE 1500 Klutch 140i
Reply:I used a Magnum450 on my LN-25 with a Ranger 9 as a power source. Way more than the power source had, but I had it from 1997 until last month and the guy I traded it to is still using now. I always wondered why I didn't see more water cooled mig guns. It would be nice to have a light weight gun. Kinda like a water cooled tig torch.Lincoln Power Mig 210MP MIGLincoln Power Mig 350MP - MIG and Push-PullLincoln TIG 300-300Lincoln Hobby-Weld 110v  Thanks JLAMESCK TIG TORCH, gas diffuser, pyrex cupThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 101My brain
