Guides & Accessories

Instructions

This machine has smart wire feeding technology to prevent forcing excessive wire into the start of the weld. When the machine is not welding and feeding wire, it will feed wire at a slow fixed speed for approximately five seconds, and then speed up to max speed. This is to quickly feed wire through the torch. Once the machine senses that it is welding it will automatically run at the preset wire speed that the user has set on the machine. Do not be alarmed when the wire feeds slowly while not welding.

Safety Information

Always wear a minimum #10 shade helmet, leather welding gloves and long sleeve shirt and long pants.

Application Tips

High-Value Welders from Eastwood

This 180-amp MIG welder with spool gun has everything you need to get started, just add a bottle of shielding gas. It includes a precision metal drive motor, regulator with hose, Tweco-style torch, tips and accessories, modern features and technology. A "Quick Setup" welding chart specifies settings for each material thickness, eliminating guesswork and assuring complete penetration.

The unit is backed by Eastwood's No-Hassle 90-day return policy and industry leading 3-year manufacturer's warranty. We even provide tips and tricks on MIG welding in the Eastwood Garage that will get you started and improve your welding.

Eastwood MIG 175 Welder

Precision Drive Motor

The drive roller mechanism, which is the heart of any MIG welder, is designed to our high specifications and delivers flawless wire feed without skipping or slipping on the wire. That's why the MIG 180 has a quality METAL drive motor. This means you'll get a great puddle and solid welds without having to go back and "touch up" spots. Beware of other units with much lower quality equipment!

Eastwood MIG 180 Welder

All-Around Steel and Aluminum MIG Welder

The MIG 180 comes complete (except for the gas cylinder) and is ready to weld 24 gauge to 5/16-inch mild steel and stainless. Connect the spool gun and you can also weld 14 gauge to 1/4-inch aluminum. With a 30 to 180 amp welding range, this high-quality MIG welding machine has a 30 percent duty cycle at 180 amps and a 60 percent duty cycle at 65 amps, giving you the power needed for tough projects.

The metal drive motor feeds the wire smoothly for the best operation and the infinitely adjustable wire speed and heat settings allows you to precisely control the machine. If you don't have a gas bottle, or are away from your shop, use the flux core wire for your welding project. Plus the ability to connect to either 240 or 120 volts makes this an incredibly versatile machine for any garage.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Nice welder Have only played with the welder a little so far but it seems to be good quality. Happy with it so far

Rated 5 out of 5 by from MIG 180 w Spool Gun Finally got my shielding gas and cranked this baby up!! First time welding in 15 years and have never done aluminum before. Loaded the spool gun up and hit it. First try looked like bubble gum!!! Tweaked it a bit, second pass was great!! Now, I’m a nobody when it comes to welding (was forced into welding when the company combined the trades) but I’m impressed with this machine. I wanted the 200i machine but it was out of stock. Now I’m not sorry I got this one!! Thanks Eastwood Fred

Rated 5 out of 5 by from My First Welder This is my first welder. Was very impressed with the instructions and the ease of setup. Everything needed was included with the exception of the bottle and gas. Very happy with it so far as I am learning to weld.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 180A mig welder Welder is great but took longer to receive than expected. Well packaged everything as described.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Awesome little welder for a great price! I was in the market for a spoolgun for my Miller 135. Had some aluminum work to do and needed one. Well til I went through with that, I would have been out about $2k. Then I came across this sweet combo and didn’t think twice. Been using it quite a bit, and I would give the duty cycle a better rating personally, cause it burns through stuff before it runs out of snot! The mig side of it works great too, stays consistent and looks pretty when it’s all said and done too. 5 stars from me.

Will this weld a frame and a unibody

Asked by: Vinp83
If your frame is less than 5/16" thick (that would be a beefy frame) it certainly can.

I see that you are recommending a minimum 10k generator and saying that it does not matter the type, inverter or traditional. Why is this? What is the minimum THD for this welder?

Asked by: Malik
We do not have a minimum recommended THD specification for this welder. We have never heard of or encountered problems from THD on a generator.
