Snap on 130 feed wire tensioner!

[Spanthefestaman]

Should I be using the serrated drive or the smooth drive? Seems to run really well on the serrated but makes like a fine grinding dust!

I finally got my Snap-on mig welder 130 turbo working after the wire feed tensioner broke.

What a nightmare you can’t get these parts anywhere not even for the Cebora 130 turbo and BOC mig master 130, which I’ve been told have the same parts.

So had to make my own


Has any one else had this problem?

As I said above I gave up trying to model it as the broken/melted original I had wasn't intact enough to measure.

Found this:

My lad just downloaded the one from the Pinshape link above. PM me your address and we'll print one for you to try.

It'll be done in grey PETG.

Printing now.

@Alan Sinclair all printed. I'll leave you to remove the excess supports (flat bladed screwdriver, small long nose pliers etc). Try it. PM me your address and I'll pop in the post.

The serrated side is for gasless wire. The trick with these is to keep the feed to the torch straight rather than use excessive wheel tension that squashes the spring

Only a matter of time before something else breaks on the motor - so brittle now , I had a snap on in for a repair with the same motor - I swapped it for a sealey plus many more brands - if I was to do it again then I’d move it more towards the front .
