What type of liner should be used for aluminum wire?

Polyamide (PA) is a carbon filled nylon liner designed to be used in low temperature applications in a variety of wire types. It is a low cost alternative and a good choice for low duty cycle air-cooled, push-pull applications for smaller gauge aluminum, stainless steel and silicon bronze welding wires.

What is a Binzel style torch?

The Binzel style SB15 MIG Torch has been engineered for trouble-free and powerful performance. Featuring a patented, screw-less design this torch is the ultimate combination of balance, positioning and ergonomics.

When should I replace my MIG liner?

In most cases, a worn out liner will need to be replaced. With a conventional liner, trimming the liner accurately during replacement is critical. Liners trimmed too long or too short can cause wire feeding issues, wire chatter, an erratic arc and/or burnbacks.

Are welding liners universal?

Each conduit liner wire has a crimped wire guide that is universal common to all brands of MIG guns.

Why do I need a spool gun to weld aluminum?

Distorting aluminum is easy and can happen pretty quickly, as the wire will start oxidizing almost immediately, leading to a host of issues. Spool guns were designed to help feed difficult wire in an effort to avoid messy welding by placing the feeder right on the gun.

How thin of aluminum can you weld with a spool gun?

Spool guns can accommodate aluminum wire diameters from . 023 to 1/16-inch and allow the operator to use longer cables (15′-50′).

Are MIG guns interchangeable?

The Miller MIG welding gun M-25 is a premium quality welding gun that is attached with a 15 foot long cable for ease of usage. It can be fully replaced for Miller M-25 MIG Gun(169598) or M-25 MIG Gun(169599). And it is interchangeable with H-10 (195957), H100S2-10 (245924) MIG guns.

How is MIG welding done?

MIG/MAG welding is a versatile technique suitable for both thin sheet and thick section components. An arc is struck between the end of a wire electrode and the workpiece, melting both of them to form a weld pool. The wire serves as both heat source (via the arc at the wire tip) and filler metal for the welding joint.

How long does a MIG liner last?

6-12 months
While the rest of the components inside the cable will return to shape, a coiled steel liner that has become kinked must be replaced immediately. If you take care to keep contaminants out of your liner and not abuse your MIG gun, you can expect an average of 6-12 months of service life.

What is a birds nest in welding?

One of the most frustrating challenges of MIG welding is having your progress come to a screeching halt because of a tangled wire, often referred to as a birds nest. It can happen anywhere from the drive roll to the contact tip and brings your productivity to a grinding halt while you cut, remove, re-feed and re-start.
