FAQs on Spool Gun

What is the difference between a MIG gun and a spool gun?

A MIG gun feeds wire from the main welder through a long cable, while a spool gun holds the wire spool directly on the gun. This setup gives smoother feeding and reduces tangling, especially with aluminum wire. A spool gun is best for aluminum, while a MIG gun is better for steel.

Is a spool gun worth buying?

Yes, a spool gun is worth it if you often weld aluminum or need steady wire feeding. It helps prevent wire jams and gives cleaner, more consistent welds. For anyone working on fabrication, repairs, or aluminum projects, it’s a smart investment.

Do you need a spool gun to weld aluminum?

Yes, a spool gun is highly recommended for aluminum welding. Aluminum wire is soft and can jam easily in a regular MIG gun’s long cable. A spool gun keeps the wire close to the torch, allowing smoother feeding and better weld quality.

Can you weld mild steel with a spool gun?

Yes, you can weld mild steel with a spool gun, but it’s not the most efficient option. A standard MIG gun is better suited for steel because it’s easier to load and handle. Use your spool gun mainly for aluminum and similar soft metals for the best results.
