Drive wheel

[Hutcho]

Anyone point me in the direction of a drive wheel please - pretty much same as the old Clarke ones but with a 10mm bore

Better to give the actual model so someone can say what they have or can find. What size wire is it for, .6, .8, or bigger or is it for flux core or aluminium ?

 

[Hutcho]

Craftmig 180 , either .6 0r .8 , think I will end up fitting a Clarke 185 gearbox on it

You can buy a wire feed mechanism on ebay and fit it to most machines.

The better-quality all-metal versions are not bad:

Yeah seen those ones bud - just as I’ve got this Clarke 185 breaking I thought I’d use whatever I can before I bin it , least then wheels are easy to get hold off
