As a professional or weekend enthusiast, you can now get industrial-quality features in a hard-working, affordable MIG welder! Our R&D guys designed the Eastwood MIG 175 Welder (12012) for steel and aluminum to produce excellent bead quality and capabilities that match - and even exceed - the other, more expensive MIG welders for sale! We've been helping DIYers do the job right since 1978 and developed this welder for those who want to do quality work without leaving home. If you've been in search of steel or aluminum welders for sale, the MIG 175 is a versatile solution for both new and experienced welders.

All-Around Aluminum MIG Welder

The MIG 175 welder is designed for the professional or weekend enthusiast. The welder comes complete (except for the gas cylinder) and is ready to weld 24 gauge to 5/16-inch mild steel and stainless steel. By attached the free spool gun, you can also weld 14 gauge to 1/4-inch aluminum. This high-quality MIG welding machine has a 30 percent duty cycle at 135 amps and a 30-175 amp welding range, giving you the power and time needed for tough projects. It feeds wire at 58-471 inches per minute and has infinitely adjustable wire speed and heat settings. Anyone who has a 220-volt electrical outlet in their garage or shop can use this spool gun welder. Attaching an extension cord will let you bring the welder to the project instead of the other way around.

Precise Welding Control

The Amperage and output voltage can be controlled precisely to get the proper penetration required. Wire speed can be infinitely adjusted to gain proper wire fill in the weld pool. This unit has been compared to the leading U.S.-manufactured red welders with equivalent results at a fraction of the cost.

Spool Gun for Welding Aluminum

Many modern cars and trucks have aluminum parts, and you may also want to custom-fabricate parts from this material for a restoration. With the included spool gun, you can weld 14-gauge to 1/4-inch aluminum. Attach or remove it as needed for working on different parts and panels.

Precision Drive Motor

The drive roll mechanism, which is the heart of any MIG welder, is designed to our specifications and delivers flawless wire feed without skipping or slipping on the wire. This means you'll get a great puddle and solid welds without having to go back and "touch up" spots.
