MK Products Prince® XL Spool Gun: Maximum Control for Aluminum & Beyond
When it comes to aluminum welding — especially on jobs where consistency, control, and mobility matter — a spool gun can make all the difference. The Prince® XL Spool Gun from MK Products is widely regarded as one of the most versatile pistol-grip spool guns on the market, trusted by fabricators, maintenance teams, and production welders alike.
Designed for flexibility, durability, and compatibility across power supplies, the Prince XL delivers smooth wire feeding and excellent arc control for aluminum, stainless, steel, and flux-cored applications.
What Makes the Prince® XL Spool Gun Stand Out?
Lightweight, Ergonomic Design
The Prince XL features a compact pistol-grip design weighing under 3 pounds, helping reduce fatigue during extended weld sessions. Whether you’re welding overhead, reaching into tight spaces, or working on aluminum repair jobs, the balance and feel of this gun matter.
Spool Flexibility Built In
Unlike many spool guns, the Prince XL accepts both 1 lb and 2 lb wire spools, giving you flexibility based on job size and material requirements — less downtime, less wire waste.
Power Supply Compatibility Made Simple
One of the biggest advantages of the Prince XL is its adaptability. It can be connected to virtually any CV or CC power supply using the WC-1 Spool Gun Control or MK Products’ manufacturer-specific interface cables.
Available adapter options support major power sources, including:
-
Lincoln Electric
-
Miller Electric
-
ESAB
-
Thermal Arc
-
Panasonic
This makes the Prince XL an excellent choice for shops running mixed equipment brands.

-
6", 12", and 18" lengths
-
Straight or curved configurations
Need even more reach or access? Optional flex barrels are available for hard-to-reach weld joints.
Expandable & Convertible Design
The Prince XL isn’t just a spool gun — it’s a system. It can be:
-
Converted to a push-pull gun when paired with a Cobramatic® cabinet and 12” wire spool
-
Upgraded with an Ultra Flex power cable for reduced strain and increased durability
-
Extended with a 25 ft control cable kit for greater working range
This modular design makes it ideal for growing shops and evolving production needs.
Consumables & Accessories Availability
The Prince XL uses Python® gun consumables, making replacement parts easy to source. Available consumables include:
-
Contact tips (standard & spring-loaded)
-
Gas cups
-
Tip extenders (to protect barrel threads)
-
Barrel liners for aluminum and hard wire
