The Miller KA27 is a semi-automatic, air-cooled welding gun designed for continuous, open arc welding with self-shielding Flux Cored Arc Welding processes. It is capable of welding with wire diameters ranging from 1/16 to 1/8 inches (1.6 to 3.2 mm) and can handle wire sizes of 1/16, .068/.072, 5/64, 3/32, 7/64, or 1/8 inches (1.6, 1.8, 2.0, 2.4, 2.8, or 3.2 mm) with minor part changes. It features a 100% duty cycle at 500 amps, allowing for continuous operation at its rated load capacity. The gun also includes a built-in lubricator for added convenience.
