Thanks -Tom Don't try running 0.035" wire in a Fab 131. It is a 110 volt MIG welder. 0.024" wire is the best size for 110 volt machines. Trust me on this.

The contact tip in it is about 3/16th fo an inch ID. Must have been used for alumium, with a hydroelectric dam as a power supply.

The power available is more than enough for any job I can think of. Most of the time it's just idling with the work that I do. But with 500 amps available I can crank it up for those large jobs. :-) Wayne Cook Shamrock, TX http://members.dslextreme.com/users/waynecook |

Its at least 15' long. No idea what condition the liner is in, but it all looks solid. Probably need a contact tip. Shrug. Gunner Leftwingers are like pond scum.

I think it would be a good idea to have a 15' gun to go with my 25'. I've found that I have some trouble with the wire chattering in my 25' gun when I'm running high amps. Probably need a contact tip. Shrug. No problems there I've got plenty. :-) Give me a email address and I'll send the address. Send me your address as well so I can send you payment.
