Is there a conversion kit for this......
I have a Miller Econo-Twin Arc welder, can I use it as the power source for wire welding? Is there such thing as a mig accessory that will attach to an arc welder for power?
Thanks
Thanks

The processes are different. Stick uses a Constant Current source, while MIG is a Constant Voltage source.
You can get spoolguns, like a ReadyWelder, or expensive voltage-sensing portable wirefeeders but these are usually for flux-cored wires, and not the thin stuff that MIG is generally preferred for.
I've never actually used a ReadyWelder spoolgun, so maybe do a search for more specific info on whether or not they are worth anything. -
Both of my VS feeders are capable of running SMAW or FCAW and I was welding 20ga today with .035 NR 211 MP using one of them. You won't get as good a result with cc as with cv and it will take some getting used to. If you look around you can find them pretty reasonable. I gave 450 for my Hefty cc/cv and ln-25 together.Lincoln: Eagle 10,000, Weld-Pak HD, Weld-Pak 155, AC-225, LN-25 wirefeeder

Too many other power toys to list.
Do it right, do it once. And in all things ya get what ya pay for.
