slag_350300 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 I just bought a Lincoln 180 power mig yesterday from a friend that never even used it. Figured it would be perfect little machine for some custom work for the banshee frame, Got a smokin deal on it but it has 10 foot leads, how much for a 25 foot extensions? Both gun and ground leads Quote
LowlyOilBurner Posted March 4, 2016 Report Posted March 4, 2016 A 25ft mig gun is nothing but trouble, unless it's a push-pull gun which is not available for that machine. Quote

Both gun and ground leads Sorry, 10' is all the little machines are Good for bud. The drive systems cannot handle pushing wire that far. If you want 25' whip you need to upgrade to a 216 or 256 machine or ideally a 350MP! Quote
slag_350300 Posted March 6, 2016 Report Posted March 6, 2016 Ah gotchya. Sounds good I'll just keep it around for the banshee. Only paid $500 for it and it was never used, came with the magnum spool gun which I'll never use but it's a sweet little machine for doing small projects. I was just thinking for welding marine exhaust instead of packing the machine up to the boat I could just run the lead up and over but might not be the case for this machine. Thanks for the info man 1 Quote
LowlyOilBurner Posted March 9, 2016 Report Posted March 9, 2016 Why don't you toss a 2lb spool of stainless in that spoolgun and use that? Top it off with some A1025 shielding gas and you're good to go. If stainless is what your aiming to weld? Quote
