How long do your tips usually last?
One tip, 3 reels of wire, not even one burnback.
Just goes to show that using top quality machinery as well as consumables makes a world of difference
Been using a different wire for a few weeks, Esab ok12.50.
Claims to be cleaner and runs better... ill go with that.
Even welding heavily scaled beams and plates it seems quite smooth, and just brush away any rubbish. Virtually no spatter in sight, even in awkward corners.
Welder is an inverter based pulse machine, Hitachi 350a.
Single feed roller mechanism, better than any of the 4 roll or even 8 roll systems i have seen
Wire goes through a mini decoiler as it comes off the reel, straightening it out, which i guess helps dramatically.
