Continue to increase the tension until you’re one-half turn past wire slippage. Loosen the drive rolls, then increase the tension while feeding the wire into a block of wood or metal.It’s not an exact science, but here are some pro tips to help you get close: Too much tension can cause wear on the wire and too little can lead to birdnesting, so it’s important to find the sweet spot on both parts. Your welding wire not feeding properly off the spool is likely due to incorrect tension on either the spool break, the drive rolls, or both.
Once you’re in the habit, it will save you time and money in the long run. Maintaining your wire in between jobs is as easy as taking it out of the welder and putting it under a blanket or in a garbage bag. You’ll also need to either blow out or replace your liner (more on that later.) Any wire deformity can also cause issues in feeding. If you do see rust, you can try and unspool until you find clean wire. Moisture or disuse for long periods of time can cause rust, which in turn will clog up your liner. And because wire-feed issues can happen anywhere along the length of the gun, you may need to check several areas until you find the problem.įirst, take a look at the wire itself. But I'd probably make buddy an offer he can say no to it, on the hopes he said yes.Trouble with your MIG wire not feeding properly can lead to various frustrating problems that lead to downtime, extra cost, and all the associated headaches that come with having to stop what you’re doing and troubleshoot. Now I'm a hard sell on just spending money these days. I'm suggesting that because let's face it, who doesn't get family drama and that name has been around enough for people to recognize it still? Lol.Īnd Tarry99, I'm sure there's a TV movie to be made that could cover the story of Marquette. When you think of the cost to power up a transformer, I'm sure that Marquette has a stout one, if your kilo watts usage exceeds those fees, a guys probably making money? You use $10 of something but they add on $90.you stay cold and they get warm. Just smile, pay the bill and carry on to make more money. F*ck!Well Willvis, as you mentioned, not to get off topic, if you start to think about what you just said too early in life, I hate to say it, it makes you grumpy. Oh wait I got the utility company to put my line in so I'm on the hook. Maybe I should see if the welding gas supplier has some high pressure bottles of natural gas hahaha.
But when you break it all down and take away all those other things that cost of the gas was like $10 lol.
Now here's something I was pondering the other day, my gas bill to heat the shop last month (the shop is well insulated) was about $100. Atleast that's how it is on the gas bill. Less power consumption, less distribution costs, etc. Not to get completely off topic but that's all based on the usage as well, so its the whole package you really have to look at.
