A spool-on MIG welding gun is primarily designed for welding aluminium and other soft wires. It has a spool of wire mounted directly on the gun, which reduces the distance the wire travels from the spool to the contact tip. This design helps prevent common issues like wire binding and bird-nesting, which are more likely to occur with standard MIG guns due to the softness of aluminium wire.
The spool gun is especially beneficial for aluminium welding as it provides a shorter and more direct wire feed path, minimizing the risk of tangling and ensuring a more consistent feed. It is also useful when the welder needs to work at a distance from the welding machine since spool guns typically have longer leads, offering greater flexibility and reach.
Additionally, spool guns are favoured in applications that require quick setup and ease of use, such as repair work or welding in tight or awkward spaces. They are compatible with various welding machines and are particularly valuable in the automotive and marine industries, where aluminium is commonly used.
