What all do I need to use this spool gun with a Hobart Handler 180?

First thing is that it will only work on Hobart handler 190 and the 210. And you will have to get 1 LB aluminum wire spool. The package comes with everything else.

What is really important is your psi Pressure machine. if yours is a gas pressure machine I do not recommend to use this, even if this one gun is a very high pressure. 1700psi.If your machine is over this limit or very close, it is better you do not use it. It could be damaged o broken

I called eastwood for you 800-343-9353 and we went thru the owner's manual, downloadable from their web site http://www.eastwood.com/mig-welders-175-amp-mig-welder-w-spool-gun.htmlThe answer isn't obvious and I chewed on them for you. The plug is a NEMA 6-50P, so you need a NEMA 6-50R for the wall receptical. Oh, that's three-prong. There's a picture here: http://www.stayonline.com/reference-nema-straight-blade.aspx

No, I recommend getting a brass 1/8th NPT -> 3/16th barb connector and Lezyne ABS Floor Pump Hose (available on amazon). It's 100 timer nicer than what's included and handles presta AND shrader.

Well none of this is Miller, etc., but it's quite impressive for the price. I'm not sure if you mean the internal wire drives or the spool gun internals, so I'll answer both this way --about thirty (or more) spools of Al through the spool gun with no issue, and maybe 80, 10 pound rolls through the welder drives without problem. One thing is I switched to the larger spools (only possible with the welder, not the spool gun) and by so doing I have adjusted the tension spring once, because the larger rolls will go on/off the adapter without removing it, so you aren't messing with the tension system as you do with the small rolls --besides being a lot less expensive and lasting way longer (time between spool changes). Hope that helped.

I do not have experience with the Miller 211, but I can attest to the quality of the Hobart. Last I knew, both Miller and Hobart are either owned by the same parent company or Miller owns Hobart. From what I can tell, the Hobart is slightly less of a machine. All of the professionals in auto-body that I know use Miller TIG welders. That being said, I have taxed my Hobart Handler for years without a single problem. I mostly work in mild steel stock such as angle/tube/pipe/etc.

My trimmer is the 21602 and uses a .065 single line spool that I buy in 3-paks. All I see on Amazon for .080 is a package of line to replace on your own once your spool is empty. You might want to call Greenworks directly at 1-888-909-6957 and ask if there are pre-loaded spools for your trimmer. I still love mine and it cuts very well with time left on the battery after each use. I have a very large yard and it does a great job every time. Hope you find what you need. Sorry I didn't have a quick answer for you.

If you are not using gas you must use Flux core wire and make sure the polarity in the machine is set correctly. If you buy the handler 140 new it comes with a small spool of Flux wire.

You can change the male end plug to a twist lock or build a "pig tail" with a female receiver for the male plug on the welding machine and male twist lock on the opposite end for your generator plug in. Use 10 guage wire, minimum. Good luck!

I'am on 220 also, pressure at 63 psi at 30amp it should cut nice and easy, make sure you got the right set up in your gun, I keep about 1/16 inch from surface.

I use the cart for my Hobart Handler190 and it fits fine. Great cart for small welders.

You can if you get the adapter to use larger spools.http://www.hobartweldshop.com/servlet/the-35/mig-welder-wire-hub/Detail

No. You can use solid core wire. If you are going to use .023 solid core wire then you will need a new drive wheel. It is the same for the Hobart and Miller welders. The supplied drive wheel will work for .030 solid core wire.

The manual recommends 90-120 psi. I run ln the mlddle of that range with a 7 1/2 horse-80 gal. compressor which is way more than necessary. A 3 to 5 horse would do fine. The spec sheet l is available at Hobart's website as a free download.

Don't be fooled by cheap imports. You will never develop skills with inferior tools. This machine and Hobarts are good starter machines. I own this one and have expanded it with the spooling gun for aluminum and stainless steel. Be ready to buy the gas that is needed to create professional welds. You can get the gas in small tanks from welding supply stores.

Sorry, I am not familiar with the Hobart machine. I went with the Millermatic 211 based on opinions from other welders and Miller quality and endurance. I have been very happy with the 211.
