teflon liner?

admin

my lincoln weldpak 100 is jamming and a teflon liner has been suggested in another forum here. i have not seem them for sale so i am asking for a source. also im thinking some dry lubricant, maybe teflon or graphite could help?thanks
Reply:My first question is what is the wire diameter's OD compared to the liner's ID?  The liner has to be larger or the wire will jam when it expands from the heat of current running thru it.

Reply:the welder has very low mileage.im using .025 and .035 wire so i guess size isnt an issue but it isnt aluminum. guide/feed seems to be ok. i think if i open the trigger i may find the problem but i dont know how that opens. thanks
Reply:If you are trying to run alum wire thru the gun, you can expect issues. Thats just part of the nature of things. Don't expect to change the liner and sudenly have alum wire feed like steel. It just won't happen..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.

Reply:Had a boy at work use the old liner to cut off the new to later find that the old liner was almost 2 inches to short,so we had a new liner that was 2 inches to short also,maybe install it in the gun first ,then cut it is what I would doMaxus Pro-125 MigChicago Electric 90 amp DC flux-coreLincoln Electric AC 225 tombstoneO/A torchM/O mini-torch10 acres of flatland15 acres of holler
