Have you ever used a Tig Welder to weld a bunch of round objects and thought to yourself:

“Man, I wish I had a turntable to rotate this thing while I just propped my torch and welded!”

Have you ever used a welding turntable and thought to yourself: “ Man, this is great, but I wish I didn’t have to stop to grab another tig welding rod!”

That’s where a cold wire feeder comes in .

But First things first. You get the welding turntable first. Then to be able to Tig weld faster and better, a cold wire feeder is the next big thing that allows for a quantum leap in quality and efficiency.

Where would you use a Cold Wire Feeder unit? I can think of at least 3 jobs right now off the top of my head where a cold wire feeder would make the job better, easier, and faster.

1.    Buildup of several components with damaged aluminum threads on a 6 inch diameter ( took 3 pounds of 3/32” 4043 aluminum rods and a several hours)

2.    Welding 30 stainless flanges onto 4 inch stainless tubing

3.    Production welding of Concrete cutting saw shrouds. I did a pantload of these a few years ago. I used a turntable but fed wire by hand…lots of stubs and lots of stopping and restarting.

If you don’t have a turntable yet, that’s the first you want to get. Trust me on this one. If you weld very many round parts, it just makes sense.

A welding positioner turntable is handier than you ever imagined. It’s one of those things that once you have one, you wonder what took you so long.
