This incredibly lightweight and portable feeder weighs less than 30 pounds, built to handle the toughest environments. It lets you use a 12-inch wire spool and can fit through an 18x24 inch porthole. All Miller industrial wire feeders now come with a Bernard Q-Gun and Centerfire Consumables.
Features:
- The Q300 gun offers 300 amps, 100% duty cycle, air-cooled, and a 15 ft cable. The Dura-Flux gun (for 12RC only) has 350 amps, 60% duty cycle, air-cooled, and a 15 ft cable.
- It provides superior arc performance and gas coverage, longer consumable life, and an easy-to-change tip design. This boosts productivity and cuts down overall welding costs.
- The fully enclosed, impact-resistant, and flame-retardant case offers strength and durability. It shields components and welding wire from moisture, dust, and other contaminants.
- Its ergonomic, lightweight, and modular design is well-balanced. It enhances mobility, making it easy to carry to remote welding sites and for servicing.
- It can run various wires up to 5/64 in diameter.
- Quick-change drive rolls are tool-free.
- Easy access to drive rolls simplifies wire installation, tension adjustment, and roll changes.
- The carry handle folds up, and it's big enough for a gloved hand.
- Standard features include remote voltage control and gas solenoid control.
- Thermal overload protection safeguards internal components. It automatically shuts down the unit if the duty cycle is exceeded or air flow and cooling are restricted.

Using this Miller wire feeder is a breeze. First, make sure you have the right wire spool (up to 5/64 in diameter) and insert it into the feeder. You can easily install the wire thanks to the accessible drive rolls. Adjust the tension as needed for a smooth wire feed. The quick-change drive rolls let you swap them out without tools.
When it comes to welding, you've got the option of using the Q300 gun (300 amps, 100% duty cycle) or the Dura-Flux gun (for 12RC only, 350 amps, 60% duty cycle). Both are air-cooled with 15 ft cables. The gun's design offers great arc performance and gas coverage, and the easy-to-change tip design helps you work more efficiently.
The carry handle is very useful. You can fold it up when it's in the way, and it's big enough to hold even with gloves on. Take advantage of the standard remote voltage control and gas solenoid control to fine-tune your welding process.
Now, for the important stuff. The thermal overload protection is there to keep your feeder safe. If the duty cycle is too high or the air flow and cooling are restricted, the unit will automatically shut down. So, don't ignore the signs and make sure it has enough ventilation.
For maintenance, keep the case clean. The totally enclosed case protects the components and wire from moisture, dust, and other contaminants, but it's still a good idea to wipe it down regularly. Check the drive rolls and contact tips for wear and replace them when necessary. This will ensure that your feeder keeps performing at its best for a long time.
