FAQs

What size wire do these tips work with?

These tips are designed for use with 0.8mm welding wire.

Yes, provided you are using the correct welding wire and settings for stainless steel.

How often should I replace the contact tips?

Replace the contact tips when the contact opening becomes enlarged, damaged, or when you experience poor welding performance.

What type of welders are these tips compatible with?

These tips are compatible with gas/gasless MIG welders that use M6 threading.

How do I clean the contact tip?

Use a tip cleaner or a small file to remove spatter and debris from the contact tip. Be careful not to damage the tip's opening.

Can I use these tips with flux-cored wire?

Yes, these tips are suitable for use with flux-cored wire in gasless MIG welding applications.

Where can I buy replacement contact tips?

Troubleshooting

Welding wire is not feeding smoothly.

Check for blockages in the contact tip. Clean or replace the tip if necessary. Also, check the wire feed mechanism on your MIG welder.

Poor arc stability and excessive spatter.

Ensure the contact tip is properly installed and making good contact. Check the wire feed speed and voltage settings, and adjust as needed. Consider replacing the contact tip if it is worn.

Contact tip melts or burns out quickly.

Check your welding settings (voltage, amperage, and wire feed speed) and adjust them to match the material thickness and welding process. Make sure the contact tip is the correct size for your wire diameter.
