MIG Torch FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing and looking after a MIG torch.

What do the numbers in a MIG torch's name mean?

The number is the torch's size class and gives a rough idea of the current it can carry, in amps. The real rating depends on the shielding gas and on how long you weld without a break, so it can be lower than the headline number suggests.

Always check the maker's rating for the gas and the duty cycle you will actually use, and choose a torch rated comfortably above the current you plan to weld at.

What is duty cycle and why does it matter for a torch?

Duty cycle is the share of a ten-minute period that a torch can carry a given current before it needs to cool down. A rating of 60% means it can weld for about six minutes in every ten at that current.

Welding for longer, or at a higher current, than the rating allows overheats the torch and wears out its parts sooner. For long continuous runs, choose a higher rating or a water-cooled torch.

Will a MIG torch fit my welding machine?

Many machines use the standard Euro connector, and a torch with a Euro fitting will go straight on. Some machines, especially in smaller ranges or from certain makers, use their own connection, so a torch made for one brand may not fit another.

Check which connector your machine has, along with the torch's gas and electrical connections, before you order. If you are not sure, our team can help you match a torch to your machine.

What length of MIG torch should I choose?

Choose the shortest cable that still lets you reach the work comfortably. A longer cable gives more freedom to move, but the wire has further to travel and more friction to overcome, which can cause feeding problems, especially with soft wires such as aluminium.

Most general fabrication is comfortable with a torch a few metres long. For long reaches, a wire feeder that you can move close to the work usually works better than a very long torch.
