OVERVIEW

Upgrade Your Weld with the Tweco Fusion 180

Take your welding projects to the next level with the Tweco Fusion F180 MIG Gun. If you are tired of constantly changing contact tips, dealing with erratic arcs, or struggling with a bulky, uncomfortable torch, the Fusion F180 is the solution you have been looking for. Designed as a direct replacement for many Miller® MIG guns, this 180-amp torch combines legendary Tweco toughness with modern ergonomic design and advanced consumable technology. With a 12-foot reach, it gives you the freedom to move around your workpiece without constantly repositioning your machine.

The Velocity™ Advantage

What sets the Fusion gun apart is the Velocity™ consumable platform. Traditional contact tips often loosen as they heat up, leading to poor conductivity and burn-back. The Velocity tip eliminates threads entirely. It drops into the gas diffuser and is locked in place by the nozzle, creating a solid copper path for the welding current. This means the arc starts smoother and stays smoother. The gas flow is also optimized through the diffuser to provide better shielding coverage, reducing porosity in your welds. You will spend less time troubleshooting your gun and more time laying down beads.

Built for Comfort and Control

Welding can be demanding work, and your equipment shouldn't fight you. The Fusion F180 features a slim, impact-resistant handle that fits comfortably in a gloved hand. The trigger geometry is optimized to reduce finger stress, and the knuckle guard provides added protection against heat and sparks. The 12-foot cable is flexible and easy to maneuver, while the robust strain reliefs ensure that the cable withstands the tugs and pulls of a busy garage or shop.

Ready to Weld

This package comes ready to install on your Miller welder. It is set up out of the box for .030" to .035" wire, the most common sizes for 180-amp applications. Whether you are working on automotive restoration, farm repairs, or light structural fabrication, the Tweco Fusion F180 delivers the consistency and reliability you need to produce professional-quality welds every time.
