I have an inexpensive flux core wire welder. Flux core wire only. Not a real good welder myself so this works for what I need. The only thing I dislike is that the wire is always hot when the unit is turned on. The trigger on the gun only controls the feed motor. This is a Campbell Hausfield welder. Has anyone ever modified one of these to have the trigger switch also control power to the wire so that the unit is not always hot, like most wire feed welders work? If so how, I"d like to convert mine.

Thanks..
Bill

Hi Bill. I don�t have any experience with the Campbell Hausfield welders other than looking at them at Home Depot. The Lincoln LN-22 wire feeders always came with out a contactor kit, but the new an improved LN-25 can be ordered with or with out the contactor kit. Maybe call a couple welding repair centers to see if they can install a contactor kit in your machine. I know how aggravating it is to work with a wire feed gun that is hot all the time. The first LN-22s I ever worked with, I must have gone through 20 contact tips a day for a while LOL. I would also look into having a gas solenoid kit installed, but by the time you have these added I bet it would be cheaper to buy a new machine. I have run literally tons of Intershield / flux core in my career. It is great for out side work, but inside a shop. Why? It is real smoky, cost more, and not near the quality of other processes! For strength and speed I always liked dual shield, for general fab work, you cannot beat Mig. Both processes require gas coverage. I have always like Hobart�s 21-B over Lincoln�s NR-211 or 212 wires. Good luck!
