I have a Miller 130xp set up for .035 wire. I want to go to the .023 wire. My drive wheel(?) is stamped .030-.035. What is it's real name, will my drive work on .023 wire and if not where can I get it? What else do I need to change? Thanks, Jim
It's called the fire feed wheel. They sometimes come in sets but, running .035, you probably have one grooved and one flat. Any welding supply that handles Miller welders should have them or be able to get them.
You will also want to change your tip. Running .023 wire in a .035 tip will cause your wire to twist and jump around. If extreme control isn't an issue, it doesn't matter. I was a master weldor for 26 years and I was able to accomodate is almost every situation but, if you are doing to be welding thin sheet metal with a low tolerance for warpage, you'll want the smaller tips. It will make cleanup a lot easier too.
