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. |

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..... |
I'm worried about you fabby :eek:
Bonzo: Many thanks for the offer. I'm far too impatient and had to pop down to my local welding supplier at lunchtime though :rolleyes: He suggested 0.8 and sent me on my way with a 5kg reel of Murex Bostrand LW1 (whatever that is!). |
Well done that man :cool: :)
If it has got BOC/Murex on the box, it'll be good stuff . You should find that the larger 5kg reel will feed better ;) |
Murex is proper stuff but tastes disgusting and damn chewy so suggest just use it for welding, just something I found out you know when you are bored etc...:D
Damn these pills are good I have never been so serious in my life |
Bought some chewing gum from a vending machine in the gents once .... Blimey, did't half taste like rubber :eek: :o :o

I remember a darts night at one of the local British Legion clubs. Went into the gents & went arse over end down 3 steep steps, I was busy reading the sign inside the door, saying " Please mind the steps " :rolleyes: :o |
