MIG Wire
 

Just ran out of MIG wire :(

I've been using 0.6 so far, but wondered if I was better off sticking with that or going for 0.8?

The welder's an old Clarke 130TE if that makes any difference.

Ta,

0.8 is better as that thin stuff isn't wound too tight...bit like me really so it goes off on wobblers now and then:confused:

I switched to 0.6 from 0.8 last year and find it welds lots better on my CEM 160Amp mig. I've had no problems at all with it unspooling.

D.

That's one vote each! Any other offers?

I did lose a large portion of my last reel when I took the wrapper off and it unspooled itself...

I have 2 X .7kg rolls of .6mm wire sitting in my cupboard doing nowt :)

You are most welcome to them if you cover the postage ( £4.50 Royal mail standard parcels )

No idea how much those small rolls are to buy now as I have been using the full size rolls for quite some time now.

The cheap small spools are not wound too clever, much better to buy a 15kg spool of good stuff like murex etc and try and rig that up..The cheap stuff won't be tested to Loyds doodah regs but stuff like Murex is and covers big stuff like bloody big boats.....or ships if wanna be proper about it;)

I might be English but my English is pants so I use what ever words pop into my head, I know what I'm saying so that's all that matters.............:D

Fabby has bother with proper England, .8 for me too much easier to fill gaps !

waaaaaaaaaaaasssssssaat all about then:D confufflercated hugenesslyment

Yooo neeeds help Bro.:p


Keep taking the tablets Mark.............

I'm actually from outer space and hide my space boat behind the 3rd tree down the lane.
Going to Asda can be amusing as my space boat looks just like a box of cornflakes when the lid is locked.:D
It runs on neat pee so you should see the look on humans faces when they see me taking a leak into a box of cornflakes.....
