Do I lube it when I feed It ?

Post by CWBYUP »

So I am about to break in my new mig and was wondering what people use to lubricate the sleave when I first feed the wire in ?

I'm not sure if your meant to use anthing due to containaments in the weld but thought i'd ask to see what others did.

Cheers nick

Lube attracts dust and crap.. No lube

No lube.

The sleeve has a nylon liner whitch does all the lubing needed.
Just make sure of cleaning up the end of the wire with a file before you start to feed it in so it doesn't score the liner.
