Craftsman Model 89 MIG Welder Specs

MIG Welders

• A MIG welder uses an inert gas, usually Argon (Ar) to protect the weld puddle, which means that there is no additional gas reaction during the welding process. In addition, there is metal in the argon gas, which contributes to the “MIG” acronym for “metal in gas.” The MIG welder uses an electrical current to heat the base metal on the welder, which causes the MIG wires to arc together. The user attaches the lead on the end of the welder to the item to be welded when the electrical current is running through the welder.

Craftsman MIG Welder Power Specifications

• The Craftsman MIG welder has a circuit amp rating of 15 with an electric rating of 120 volts AC. The welder can be connected to most standard 120V outlets and has 0.024- and 0.030-inch solid core wire or a 0.030 flux core wire, which can be used in 4- to 8-inch spools.
